we're back from another ten days on the road. and even our highest expectations have been surpassed by this experience. it was a tour we could only dream of, everything seemed well arranged: we had good shows, with a lot of people showing up, positive responses and a lot of merchandise being sold; all girlies, buttons and patches are gone, and the new designs are very well received. we also got the chance to practice some of our new songs in front of an audience and responses have been really positive so far. we can't wait to record them. there will be a tour report on this website as soon as it's finished. including pictures, and perhaps some videos. if you have any, please let us know.

here's the first review of our show in toulouse (in french). apparently they were the ones that stole our setlists. oh, and here's the pictures of that show (not in french). a big ol' "THANKS!!" goes out to etjen from "just like your mom toursupport", cedric from "snowstar records", joni from "annie mae bookings", matthieu from "go off the beaten track records" and all the associations such as "toloose punkers", "alentour bookings" and "d.i.y." in bordeaux that got us these great shows.

the new t-shirt design we brought on tour will soon be up for mailordering on this site as well. since we've sold out (huh huh) you can also expect new girlies, pins and patches!

on another note: since some of us will be graduating this year, we won't go abroad too much in the upcoming months. but, to practice the new songs some more, we'll try to get more shows in our own country. if you can and want to help us out, please do so. any place and any time! i think that's it for now. see ya!

happy new year! let's see what this one's got coming for us. and let's see what we can do against it. we're leaving on tour in 4 days and in the show section you can find the latest news and information about the shows. please, if you have the chance, drop by and come say "hello!" or "bon jour!" or whatever they say in spain.

on this tour we'll bring a new shirt design, so you can be the first if you come and check us out. we'll also bring the books from typewriter distro and, for the first time, the c.d. distro from snowstar records. this tour would most definitely turn out to be terrible without the help from "just like your mom" toursupport and annie mae bookings.

oh, and now the most important news: we're on hyves. that's it for now, hope to see you on tour or perhaps afterwards!

the january tour a.k.a. the "we should have planned this in the summer-tour" is finally getting some proper shape. of course, there are still some dates to fill, but the trip is definitely worth it already. we're looking forward to be in the van and on the road again. please come and check us out if we come anywhere near you.

the new shirts design is getting really neat and will soon be ready. you read and see it here first. new stickers will be in soon too.

there's some compilation news as well. the triebwerk sampler, even though its release was a while ago, is taking a bit longer to reach us, but it's a nice piece of work. a great amount of awesome bands and very good looking. the bulgarian label troskot records and the belgian label kick ass records will both independently release a compilation with one of our songs on it. at that, the guys from bobby in a volvo, a belgian punk community that is doing our show in oostende, will put a online sampler on their website with, indeed, one of our songs on it.

now the news: we'll be recording some of the new songs we wrote in the new year, in march to be exact. hopefully followed by a new full-length later next year. don't get your hopes too high, these demo recordings won't be released (well, it's not our plan) and next year is still looooooong. in the mean time: come check the songs out live or start your own band! it's fun!

we're still having some problems with our january tour. so if you can help us out with a show, we'll play anything, basements, living rooms, bathrooms, you're very welcome! especially when you live in france! some other new dates have been added. thanks to all the people that showed up at the strike anywhere show and the tenement kids c.d. release! new shirts with new designs should be in before the tour in january, beware.

hey there all of you! survived your summer vacation? we did. and we have great news to announce, well yvo has: his son "jippe" got born on august 23, healthy and all! so we congratulate yvo and suzette and jippe, and wish them a happy and cosy family with the three of them. we're very curious whose musical talents jippe inherited! perhaps he screams louder than his father?

as for the band, we actually started writing and praticing new songs and they are working out quite alright, we think … someday they'll make it to a record. if you want to hear them, book us a show … we want to play them live ourselves as well! at that we have a new show to announce in charleroi, belgium for a small trip to belgium and france, check the shows. more t.b.a. soon.

we're pretty much running out on some t-shirt and sweater models, if you want to order check the merch-section.

if you want to combine listening our songs with songs from other bands, don't go to our purevolume or myspace sites but listen to blitzkriegpop at kink f.m. it appears there is a radio show willing to give us some airplay!

hopefully some more "important" news soon! to be continued. how you doin'?
