“The place was packed. Lots of confetti. Party hats. Joep in an Elvis suit. A disco ball. Joost wearing a princess crown. Stef wearing a furry pig head costume. Picture slideshow on a beamer (about 10 years of pictures). Joep smashing a (prepared, we’re not that rich!) bass to pieces to give him the feeling of a true rockstar. A long set. A good old “pull-and-push” mosh pit, sing-alongs, dives. Throw some some injuries (one guy even had to be brought to the hospital to get some stiches) in the mix and you know it was a crazy show. ”

Needless to say, I think I can speak for all of us (including Joep) that we had a blast. It sucks to see him go, but atleast he went out with a bang. Thanks to all of you for showing up and giving him a great goodbye. He loved it. As did we. Big time.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t the last we have seen of Joep though. If we ever need a substitute bassplayer, we know where to find him. And he still owes us some free burgers anyway

We had such a good time with him on drums. From the first time he came along (as a friend / roadie) during our Eurotrip last year and all the shows we played with him until last friday… It has been golden. We couldn’t have wished for a better replacement. So needless to say we’re really thankful he was welling to step in when Joost went away to study in Taiwan.

For now we’ll just wish him all the luck with his own band “Maaswater Veenlijk” (Check it out people, it’s great stuff!). We hope we didn’t see the last of him.

If I’ll have time I might upload a video from the last part of the set, where we played some covers and ended the show with Into The Distance.

While it’s strange to see Henri go we’re of course siked to have Joost back on drums. Full speed ahead.
