Last week he had a visit from his family. Totally different setting than usual, pretty cool.


Joost also found us a perfect new touring van:



And how about this one? It immediately made me think of Whacky Wheels. Only for real this time. Who doesn't want to ride around in a big inflatable shark?



And even over there, there's a little piece of home:



PS > In case you didn't read the previous posts, Joost our drummer is currently "studying" in Taiwan, Henri (from Maaswater Veenlijk fame) is replacing him. Now and then we get these updates ;)]]>http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=59http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=59]]>http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=58http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=58
Next up: A show with our Brabant friends No Turning Back and On Fire @ De Pul, Uden. Brabant on the attack. Lions Den and Angers Curse from Sweden are joining the party. Should be cool.

Aside from that we're getting siked for the UK trip. We're looking forward to be playing with the new breed of great UK bands. Get ready UK, get ready.]]>http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=57http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=57

PS> If you didn't receive a mail back on your order yet, don't worry. I'm getting back to all of you ASAP. Thanks!]]>http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=55http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=55
While we're talking thank you's. Another big thank you goes out to all of you who checked out the new song and gave us some feedback. Glad to see you like the stuff. Tapes are going fast and as it looks now we'll have to re-do the tapes for the UK trip, because we'll be sold out in no time. We'll see.

To anyone that ordered the tape, aside from the thank you we've got a "we'll get back to you ASAP!" too. Busy times. You know how it is.]]>http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=54http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=54"TODAY" - new song up - new tape



As you might already know (considering the great feedback we've got already), we recently recorded 3 new songs together with Nico van Montfort. We uploaded one of those songs to our Myspace and site. Aside from that we also planned to have tapes ready for our trip to the UK, but since we've got em ready to go already, you can order it from our online distro right away. Go listen to "Today".

UK TRIP

We're siked to get over to the UK again at the end of November, we had a blast last time. We can't wait to return to Le Pub in Newport, to play Guitar Hero with mr Bob Royce (from Reality fame) and check out the country. Aside from the tape mentioned above, we're also making some limited UK covers for our "Endless Roads" 7", because we can.

Come check us out at:

28th of November - Brighton
29th of November - Birmingham
30th of November - Newport

Keep an eye on the site for the exact venues, other bands playing etc.

ZINES

Keep an eye on the next issues of Too Much To Say (#2, in French) and UK based Mass Movement Magazine (#23), we recently did interviews with them. Good stuff. Communication is the key.

While we're speaking of zines. Some Will Never Know #1 is still available and as soon as I can find some time again I'll start on issue #2... Also pick up the Lifers zine if you get the chance, great read and looks stunning too. (We'll get some in our distro as soon as possible, they're taking quite a while to get here from Canada, have patience).

GET STUFF

S&D DISTRO (Distroing zines as well!)
Shield Recordings Distro
Interpunk (For all you US heads!)

Of course there are various other distros accross the globe, just Google it.

That's all for today,
Pim

PS > Feel free to spread the word.
PS 2> We're kicking off a new season of show @ OJC de Box in Boxmeer (NL) TODAY. Henri's hometown. So come hang out.]]>http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=53http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=53

Here's a sign of life from Joost. Still keeping a beat.]]>http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=52http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=52Interpunk.com as of now.

You can check out some previous interviews in the interview section.

If you do a zine (especially if you do paper zines) and want to do an interview, get in touch, we love zines!]]>http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=50http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=50
So now we have the first show behind us, get us some other shows. We want to play everywhere, any day, any place. Hook us up! Just get in touch and we'll work something out. Deeeeew it!

In other news, Joost landed safely in Taiwan and reported he saw some monkees walking by his place. How about that? I'll try to get some more from him (pictures?).]]>http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=49http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=49
First of all, half of us went to see Only Living Witness in Eindhoven. Although they felt a bit misplaced at the festival and the sound wasn't that great it was amazing to finally get the chance to see them play. They were amazing and really great guys as well. Be on the look out for the 2-LP vinyl reissue on Reflections that's coming out this month. Well worth your money.

On a more band related note, last week we locked ourselves away in Panningen. We recorded 3 new songs with Nico van Montfort. It was great working with him, kinda like we expected. Look out for some amazing stuff he recently recorded (including new Tenement Kids, Strike First, Smash The Statues and New Morality releases). We have no idea what we're going to do with those 3 songs yet, we'll see.

Aside from that we have one final rehearsal coming up and then it's showtime for our new drummer, Henri. His first show will be a benefit for both Reflections and Cursed, this sunday @ DB's in Utrecht. Show starts at 15:30 and we're going up first. Get your ass over there and contribute. If it's not for the good cause, be there to check out some awesome bands. Aside from us Strike First, State Of Mind, The Hunger & Human Demise are playing.

PS > We've updated the tour report of our last trip through Europe with some new pictures. If you're bored you know what to do...

PS2 > Listen to Feed. They'll have a demo tape out on Mind Over Matter soon.]]>http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=48http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=48
Joost didn't know anything (well, he started to suspect something the day before), so it was a pretty cool surprise for him. We couldn't advertise the show, since it was a surprise, but the news spread fast by word of mouth.

It was the first we played live with Henri (3 songs, with Joost in the audience for a change, watching us play) and he killed it. After that Joost took over. It's going to be strange to be playing without Joost for half a year, but we're sure glad Henri stepped in. No slowing down. He's doing great.

We would like to thank all of you for showing up. We had a blast.]]>http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=47http://www.saidanddone.org/?p=blog&id=47Jan from Germany does these pieces on all kinds of hardcore bands. Check out one of his last pieces:
