UPDATE: Contest closed!

So let’s start off November with some sharing…

We’re giving away some places on our guestlist for the Cro Mags/Fearless Vampire Killers show we’re playing at De Helling in Utrecht on the 23rd of November! The last show we’ll be playing before we’re heading for the studio to record “Everyday”, our full length record.

What you need to do? Just mail us at contest@saidanddone.org why you deserve those places. We’re pretty curious to see what you can come up with haha. That’s all there is to it. We’ll pick 2 winners and they can go to the show with a friend. So that’s 2 x 2 tickets.

I went to their show at de Goudvishal, their first show of this tour, and it was pretty fucking great. You don’t wanna miss out, be there!

And while we’re at it, giving away stuff that is, we have some old Stab Back shirts laying around that we want to give away as well. Just check out this page. Pick a design you want and mail us your preferred size so we can check if we still have one for you. Don’t forget to mention at which show you want to pick up the shirt, cause we’re not sending them out.

So let’s see. What do we got for you this time…

NEW SITE
Well, if you were here before you probably notice already, it looks a bit different. The previous version was thrown together in a hurry and this version is a bit easier to manage and will be more up to date. If you notice any bugs let us know!

NEW SHIRTS
Since the first shirts are almost completely gone, we’ve got like 4 left or something, we thought it was time to get ourselves some new shirts. People liked the “panther” design a lot so we did print that one again, different color this time though. Check out the image below to see the different designs, colors etc. Pick it up at our shows.

SHOWS
The show on the 27th of October @ De Stage, Arnhem with Iron Age, Restless Youth and Bratpack was cancelled but we’re playing another show with Bratpack on that date. Come join the party @ Hiernaast, Wijchen instead. Be sure to check out Bratpack by the way, they’ve got a great demo coming up. Check out some songs here.

We’re also pretty siked to announce we’re playing Light The Fuse next year! More details later on.

We’ll not be adding a lot of new shows before we’re hitting the studio in December. Just keep an eye on the list. If you want to book us for shows after the studio dates don’t hestiate to contact us! We want to play, like any other band, as much as possible!

That’s all for now I guess,
HOUDOE!

We recently did an interview with "Cosmos Gaming", a site that aside from stuff about gaming also reviews CD's and does interviews.

Check it out here.

By the way, feel free to contact us if you want to do an interview yourself for your zine/website whatever.

In a short time a lot of stuff happened or got confirmed. Here we go, check it out:

FULL LENGTH CD/LP
We have a set of new songs ready and we can’t wait to record them. We’ll be heading to Studio 195 to record with Patrick Delabie early December. We enjoyed working with him in the past and can’t wait to get back. The full length will come out on both CD and LP and will be released by Shield Recordings before the end of February 2007. As with the studio, we worked with Gertjan & Fieke before and they did (and are still doing) a great job. Never change a winning team.

More details later.

2006 PROMO
The two songs we recorded with Michiel Toenink did get some great feedback. Thanks for all your comments (be it on myspace, forums, mail or in person). The Asice.net exclusive MP3 “I’ll Be Fine” is now also available for download on our own site. We also enabled downloads on our Myspace. Go check it out if you didn’t already.

INTRODUCING WESSEL
Say HI to Wessel! He’s the 3rd guitarist we’re adding to the family. We’re not going the Iron Maiden way, he’ll be replacing Stef or Remco when they for whatever reason can’t play a show. Wessel has been a friend of the band for quite some time now and was at the rehearsels most of the time anyway. We knew he played the guitar pretty well (he was in some bands with Stef), so instead of letting him drink all the beer we put him to use.

NEW SHIRTS

Said And Done shirt

We have some new shirts. Only 25 made, available in S, M, L, XL, XXL. Just pick them up at our shows.
