Let’s do a little November update:
Last show of the year – Tomorrow, Saturday 20th of November @ De Onderbroek, Nijmegen (NL)

2010-11-20 @ Onderbroek, Nijmegen (NL)

Flyer for the show. Click to enlarge.

Tomorrow (Saturday the 20th of November) we’ll be playing our last show of the year. It will be at the De Onderbroek (Yes, that’s the underpants for all the non-Dutch speaking people) and I guess that will be the first show in the new line-up in the Netherlands. Goran’s hometown (at the moment) too, should be good. Hope to see you there. For the people that want to pick up Some Will Never Know #2, we’ll have some copies with us!

BE/UK weekender


Visiting Belgium and the UK: the excitement…

So at the beginning of the month we went to Belgium and the UK again. First shows in the new line-up. Joep (our former bassplayer) tagged along as well. Almost like old times. We’ll have some footage up soon, for now you’ll have to do with the lamest pictures we could find of the trip. Waiting, waiting, traffic-jams, the ferry and sleeping. The excitement.  In short:  Meeting the Clinckemaillie brothers again, Black Haven, releasing SWNK #2, afterparty, AFTERPARTY (think terrible songs, stupid dancing and drinking on a stage), sleeping, driving, ferry, Leeds, Callum and Jonny, Ark Of The Covenant, invasion of dressed up girls, drinking, sleeping, driving, Canterbury, Carry The Weight, Tomas, Pat, lads, Wardogs, more Ark Of The Covenant (they’re looking for a manager hehe), Never Again R.I.P., lots of people, moshing, naked guy, driving, ferry, sleeping, unloading etc. etc. Unlike the above pictures show we had a great time. Again. Oh and an extra shout out to Your Mum Tourbooking to hook us up with a van again.

Up next

Until the shows with Supertouch in Germany in January we’ll be focusing on writing new songs. One of those, although it might change a bit, we already busted out live.
The dates for the March / April trip through Finland, Sweden etc will be up by the end of the year. New demotapes by then? We’ll see. Maybe.

That’s all (for now) folks.

PS > Dead And Gone Records from the UK is done and will be dropping off the Internet on December 18th (hosting not being renewed). Some records left going dirt cheap…spread the word and help Ian out! – www.deadandgonerecords.com

Leaving for our BE/UK weekender today

November 5, 2010 - 11:33

We’ve been posting this image a couple of times now:

Today it’s time to leave. Needless to say we’re looking forward to the trip.

These are the first shows we’ll be playing in the new line-up (with Goran on guitar). Give him a warm welcome people, make him feel at home.

First up is the show in Lendelede, organised by the Clinckemaillie brothers. Our first time in Belgium since March, it’s been a while. Did you check out that new Black Haven track? Different, but damn good. Looking forward to hearing that.

The day after we’re heading to the UK again. We’ve been there in May already, but when Carry The Weight unfolded their plans for their showcase we simply couldn’t refuse. So we booked ourselves a show in Leeds to make it a proper weekender. Leeds is a first time for us. We’ll be driving all day to get there. Cold Snap has pulled out but we’ll be headbanging to Ark Of The Covenant anyway. Last time they did a great Arkangel cover.

To close off the weekend with a bang we’re playing Carry The Weight Fest in Canterbury. We’ve never been there either, but who cares. Cornered & Ironclad pulled out and Ripped To Shreds was replaced by Wardogs (so going to pick up a demo!). Aside from that we’re looking forward to see those clean cut guys from Never Again again again again again, playing their final set. Deal With It releasing their new (great!) record, French Rob’s The Hard Way, Rot In Hell (siked for the mid-set interval!) etc. etc. Just too much to mention.

Hope to see you on the road!

Oh and to all you zineheads: Pim’s Some Will Never Know #2 is finished and we’ll have it with us on the road. Will be the first chance to pick it up. After this weekend a proper announcement will follow and we’ll put it in our online distro. So keep an eye on that.

October update

October 9, 2010 - 12:57

Some of this stuff was already posted on here, but in case you missed it (and repetition doesn’t hurt either)…

“Third Wave” – ‘new’ song online

With the current political situation in the Netherlands, we thought it was fitting to upload “Third Wave” from the Weight Of The World 7” now. Lyrically inspired by “Die Welle” (or “The Wave”) and the “Third Wave” experiment it paints a picture that hopefully doesn’t get too familiar in the nearby future. While the signs show otherwise, let’s hope we did learn from our past. You can listen to it at any of the social networks listed below. The 7” is still available directly from our website, Carry The Weight in the UK or Interpunk if you live in the USA.

Lineup changes

Some of you probably already know but Remco’s leaving the band. No juicy details or fights this time either. We only want to thank him for the good times and wish him all the best with whatever he’s going to do next. His final show will be at the Bunker in Gemert on the 24th of October. In Brabant. We didn’t had to look too far for a replacement. Goran, who went with us on a couple of trips already (and replaced Stef at the 25 Years Innocent show) is our new guitar player. You might know him from his other band, Make Them Suffer, too.

UK trip

In November we’ve got a trip to the UK coming up again, making a stop in Belgium too:

To the zineheads out there: Pim’s zine Some Will Never Know #2 will be ready for the trip too (if everything goes to plan).

Aside from that we’ll be searching for the light in January when we’re playing some shows with Supertouch in Germany. In the meantime we’re focusing on writing for a full length. The stuff we’ve got so far is pretty diverse. No boundaries.

Stay classy internet people.
