 dammit. this is the first update after our u.s.a. tour with static radio. and even though we've been back for 2 weeks now, it's still going through our heads all the time. the whole trip was extremely overwhelming. almost every night we played at a cool show, the reactions we got each show were really positive, we got rid of all the merch we brought (we actually sold it!) and the new 7"es just flew out of our hands. it's amazing to see how a nation with such a "bad reputation" has so many awesome people and such an inspiring scene. we're very happy the way this tour turned out, it was better than we could have ever hoped for. a lot of "thanks you!'s" go out to the people without who this trip wouldn't have been half as much fun: our new friends and tour buddies from static radio. great people, grand band. also, a big "thank you!" goes out to chris from square of opposition records who helped us out with the 7"es and other merchandise. the list of people we want to thank is endless, so we won't go there, but a lot of people did a great job making us feel at home, moms and dads included.

if you want to read, hear and/or see all about our tour, there are some reports online already. check out the 4 reports we made for reload magazine here (words in dutch, videos in dutch and english), check the videos (dutch and english) on our youtube account , check a full report in words (dutch) and pictures (universal) on www.musicfrom.nl , all pictures can be found on our picasa page. and last but not least the full tour report will appear in english on this site soon.

going from the one outstanding project to the other; next week we will be entering the studio to record our sophomore full length album. we can't wait to get into the studio and lay down the tunes we've been working on and playing live the last months. during our stay in the studio we will bring a video and photo camera, so expect some reports being made. only if we get bored, that is! in the mean time, listen to our old songs and the demo recordings we made in march. there's no relaese date for this new album yet, expect it at the end of this year.

we managed to get some new shows as well, both on the transatlantic tour and in holland. please come and check them out, we'll be playing with cool bands like in-sane (slo.) again!

finally we hope to see you at our tour kick off in the merleyn in nijmegen on friday september 28. you can buy the 7" at the door for 1 euro extra. last chance.
