Saturday, September 28 2013 - 19.30 MAY 2012;
We are very pleased and excited to announce the new guitarist of Knight Area. After going through an intense process of auditions and meetings we are proud to announce that MARK BOGERT will reinforce our band. Mark is a talented and experienced guitar-player and we are convinced that he will give Knight Area new creative impulses.

FEB 2012
Mark Vermeule leaves Knight Area!
It is with sadness that Knight Area announces the decision of Mark Vermeule to leave the band. Mark wants to focus more on family and career and so he feels he can't give himself for the full 100% to the band. Although we feel very sad about this, we respect his decision.
Mark will continue to perform live with us until we have found the right successor. We want to thank Mark for all the friendship, music and dedication he gave to our band and we wish him all the best. Below you can read Mark's comment to his decision.
"After a little more than 8 years, I have decided to leave Knight Area. This was not an easy decision, and it took me quite a long time to figure out that I wanted to stop and why. Like most of my band mates, I have obligations to my family and my work. This last year, the time I needed for my family and for my career has grown considerably. To me, Knight Area is not just any band that you can do on the side. I have been very dedicated and have worked hard together with the rest of the team to achieve our successes, and we´re in a phase where I think the band needs a lot of time and effort. However, at the moment, I don't have the time that I feel is necessary for a band like Knight Area. It´s all or nothing, and I won´t do this with 10% of the normal effort.
I am thankful to the Knight Area team and all the people that have helped us get this far. I have had a lot of fun, have learned a lot, have been frustrated or angry at times ... just like being in a relationship. I also want to thank all the fans for making this possible. It was a pleasure making and performing our music for you.
I wish the guys all the best for the future and am happy to call them my friends.
Until the band has found a new guitarist, I will do the gigs that we have planned for this year.

Thank you,'
Mark Vermeule".

Between two Steps (2013) is the new album of those proggers of the West of the Netherlands.

Singer Mark Smit: "Between two steps marks for us the beginning of a new period. With Mark Bogert we found ourselves a new guitarist, and Peter Vink has been added as bass player. This has given the band a thorough creative impulse. The sound of the band has changed and we are moving into a new direction. With this EP we want to show where we are standing now, and what our fans may expect of the new album."
