Welcome to homeplanet 2007!

This February marked the tenth year of the homeplanet! I'm amazed that we've kept this website going for ten years, but it could never have happened without God's making it possible, Kris k., the other Barnabas members, and my fellow fans out there.. Thanks go to everyone. Alright now, ten more years!

Kris, Nancy, and Mick Donner have talked at length this year about collaborating on a new recording. Hopefully, this project will bear fruit after the unofficial ending of the KaJ band project.

The idea of a "mannyfest" - a physical gathering of fans in some central location - continues to be discussed, although there are no definite plans at this point.

Kris k. continues to DJ on the Blacklight Radio Internet radio station, formerly SavageRock. Kris is working both Thursday and Saturday nights, generally from around 9-1 Eastern time, although the hours sometimes vary. Kris is very excited about the "SavageRock West" program- tune in for evenings of great music, satire, commentary, and fun!

In April, Kris k. hosted the second online Mannyfest on BlackLight Radio. Due to technical difficulties, many listeners were not able to tune in, so a third one has been scheduled for June 28, 2007.

The first online Mannyfest, in Feb. 2006, was an unqualified success. I participated via a phone call-in, as well as Nancy, John C., and others. So many fans tuned in that the server was maxed-out on connections! We are hoping that the future BLW/online mannyfests will be as successful as the first.

We appreciate ALL of you Barnabas fans - hang in there with us and enjoy the ride!

I have archived the Sabanrab news for the first ten years. 

homeplanet - how it started and why

The idea for the homeplanet was born after I revisited their album Feel The Fire in February, 1997 and indeed FELT THE FIRE of Barnabas. I published the original homeplanet on my company site later that month.

Not too long after that, I was put in touch with Kris by Chris Droessler of Barnabas Multimedia (no connection). Kris was a new Internet user at the time and was searching for any references to Barnabas on the Web.

Kris was overjoyed to see that there was still interest in the works of Barnabas out there, and has been an active participant in the homeplanet ever since! He gave the official sanction to the site, and we were off and running.

Barnabas' music has reached a lot of people, and it will certainly reach a lot more. This is our contribution to that cause. The message of Barnabas needs to be heard more than ever in this new millennium, with many of the evils they warned about growing out of control.
