The danish band naïve had its first heyday from 1985 to 1995. Then, 23 years later, the band re-emerged as a new entity.
The loss of guitarist and producer Hilmer Hassig, who died november 16th 2008, left Claus Berthelsen alone in charge.
Now he frequently releases new songs with a new line-up.

Stay tuned to get insight, but be patient. This is not for the moment but for eternity (as we put it).
