It’s only a couple of days left before it’s the end of the year. Traditionally we “do” our last show of the year at De Onderbroek in Nijmegen at our very own Friends First Fest! This year will be a special edition spread over 2 days with bands from close to home and from a little further away. With new bands and bands that we grew up on. And with proper afterparties: DJ Bobby Brat (Th Dec 28) and live punk rock karaoke from Singalong Riot (Fr Dec 29)! Proceeds will go to causes worth supporting: Solidarity Not Silence, Animal Equality and AFA Nederland.
We hope to see you all at De Onderbroek on December 28 and 29 to celebrate good music and the end of the year.
We made a music video / after movie / tour report from the footage we shot on our
Latin American tour. And we will go to South-West Europe in June and play a
bunch of festivals this summer.
Latin European Tour
We have added a new chapter to the ENGAGE tour: South-West Europe AKA Latin
Europa. It’s the first time we’re going there with our new album. Looking
forward to it a lot, it’s been a while since we did a run like this, and there’s
some very promising shows in there!
What to expect when Antillectual comes on tour? The video tour report of our
Latin American tour with Satanic Surfers will tell you! AKA: the new music video
for One Size Fits All from our latest release ENGAGE! Get a peek of the amazing
time we had in Latin America; on and off stage!
Merch
Now you can pay by card (credit/debit/etc) when you buy merch at shows! Of
course you can also get our merch through our web store. We still have
some leftover items from our Latin American tour. Very limited edition; old and
new designs, selected sizes. For the first time we have ENGAGE available on
cassette tape!
ENGAGE tour continues
Our program for the rest of the summer is taking shape quite nicely as well,
we’re playing LOTS of cool festivals. See you out there!
As of now Loud Noise is taking care of our European bookings (Germany excluded)
and we are working on a lot of fun things (tours, shows, festivals) for the rest
of the year. Again, see you out there!
That’s it for now. In our next newsletter we’ll have new tours and festivals for you, promise! And who knows what else …
Thanks for reading, stay in touch!
The ENGAGE tour continues in the Netherlands and Latin America. Besides that we offer custom ENGAGE pre-order merch for those who want to get creative.
Dutch ENGAGE tour
To end the year we will play a couple of shows in our own country, something
we don’t do very often. We’re happy to go north, west, south and east and play
with local heroes and special guests everywhere! To end the “Dutch ENGAGE
tour” we will celebrate our homecoming at Friends First Fest in our hometown
Nijmegen, something we only do once a year! For all these shows we’ll bring
new merch and new covers!
We haven’t figured out yet what colors will be in fashion next winter,
therefor we offer you “Custom ENGAGE Pre-orders”! For those of you that asked
us if we have the ENGAGE merch in format X, size X and/or color X: you can now
create your own unique custom combination! Choose your preferences and we will
make it happen! Pre-orders close November 25, items will ship December 9.
You might have read about it in our social media: we’re excited as little kids
to return to Latin America, go to new countries and share this experience with
the Satanic Surfers!
Finally we can present you music from our new album “ENGAGE!”. And as a bonus you can now pre-order our new album!
“Racist Rash” is the first single from “ENGAGE!” and it seems like a good first representation since there’s quite a few faster songs on the album. The song clearly deals with the racism that is still omnipresent in our culture, sports, traditions, policies, etc. The song clearly deals with the racism that is still omnipresent in our culture, sports, traditions, policies, etc. These days a Dutch celebrity (Sylvana Simons) gets heavily attacked because of her skin color and her anti-racist criticism. These days a “normal” European country like Austria might elect an extreme right President. Racism is not an opinion or an ideology, it’s a crime to be convicted or a disease to be cured at best.
The video was shot (at the famous “Onderbroek”), directed and edited by Harko Wubs, a political film and documentary director and producer, who is active in the field of migration, refugee and border issues.
Pre-order “ENGAGE!”
As of today you can pre-order our new album. We created some fun bundles for you:
The “artwork flag” is a 1x1m full color bisonyl flag with the album artwork printed on it.
“Antillecu-Ale beer” is a limited edition beer by breweries Katjelam and De Gifbeker in celebration of our new album. A tasty beer based on the Netherlands’ best and most organic beer, Germany’s most energizing soft drink and nature’s best remedy to vocal troubles. Proceeds will go to Viva Con Agua, an organization from St Pauli in Hamburg improving drinking water supply in developing countries. The stock is like a beer in your hand: while supplies last.
You can also pre-order the album on iTunes and Amazon.
All pre-order bundles include:
– Instant download of the single “Racist Rash”
– 3 handwritten/personalized song download postcards you can send to your friends
– A unique, one-of-a-kind picture of us on the road (by Tom Roelofs)
– Posters, stickers and other goodies
