If you do a zine (especially if you do paper zines) and want to do an interview, get in touch, we love zines!
Last Sunday we did that benefit for Reflections and Cursed. Aside from the fact that we made some money for them, it was a really cool show. Henri did great! It’s strange to be playing with someone else behind the drums after all those years, but it’s working out great so far. It was cool to play with The Hunger (great new band, check em out! They’re releasing a CD/LP on Shield Recordings), State Of Mind (one of the coolest bands from the Netherlands) and Strike First (that Life Of Agony cover alone is worth seeing them, heavy stuff). Props go out to the organisation (Freek, Lucas!) for having the heart to set something up, to actually do something (while not even gaining from it themselves), in this world that gets more passive by the day. Awesome. By the way, if anyone has pics from the show, get in touch!
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?).
So what’s going on in S&D world?
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.
Last Friday we played a surprise show @ cafe ‘t Hert in Sint Anthonis (our hometown). To say goodbye to Joost and to welcome Henri.
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.
