The new album shows a band at the height of their powers and is their first studio album with original songs since 2000. “Buena Vodka Social Club” is not an ordinary album in any way.

Live dates are currently being set up to promote the album in European territories late 2011 and early 2012 more shows, covering various territories, are about to follow.

Frank Uhle (SPV General Manager) comments: “ItŽs a pleasure and honour to have these true rockŽnŽroll legends teaming up with SPV. IŽm fully convinced, together we will bring the guys back on the map again and up to the high rating in the Rock Circus, they deserve.”

Sakke Järvenpää (Leningrad Cowboys mastermind) adds: “We’re extremely happy that we have come together with SPV, they have people who still care about the music and the artists. And it’s also not a bad thing that they like Vodka, too! We’re back with a long term plan, Buena Vodka Social Club is the start. Thank you very many!”
