FINALLY we can share that we will play the most ultimate, final, last ever NOFX show in the Netherlands, for good! Sunday May 19, Eindhoven, Ketelhuisplein, with Circle Jerks, Heideroosjes, Negative Approach, Itchy and The Last Gang! Come say/sing/cry so long and thanks for all the shows!
FRIENDS FIRST FEST #7 was a worthy way to end 2023 with our friends, Lodyne, Bellyacher, Third Ego and Sing Along Riot at De Onderbroek! Jay at Moonboy Films made an after movie; check yourself or check what you missed!
Don’t wanna miss FFF 2024? Tickets are already available via our web store. Heads up: this year’s edition will happen on Dec 14 (not between X-mas and NYE!). RSVP via the FB event.
We’re extremely excited about the next chapter of our TOGETHER tour, which is taking us to France, Spain and Portugal. On top of that we are doing pre-orders for merch with the amazing tour poster artwork!
For years we’ve been getting requests to return to France, Spain and Portugal. After releasing TOGETHER via awesome labels and getting wonderful feedback, it is about time to make a comeback. We’re extremely excited to jump in the van and hit the road, it’s been way too long since we hit these cities and met our friends there! All info, tickets and FB events via our site.
Daggers Design created the beautiful tour poster artwork. When we saw it we had to make shirts and zipped hoodies with it! Pre-ordering starts today and is possible until January 31. Packages will be sent out before the tour starts. As usual: the pre-order offers extra sizes, which might not be available in our web store or at shows afterwards.

So, how was your Blue Monday? We probably had the weirdest day in our band’s history!
BUMA, the Dutch performing rights association, released their music export report of 2023 and put us as the only band in the top 10 on the 5th position. The others in the top 10 were mostly millionaire DJs, so we were sticking out like a sore thumb, which made national media triggered to write about this band they never heard of. We got featured on TV and radio shows, items on the national news, all the big newspapers wrote about it and posted our picture; shit really hit the fan!
Ironically this made us postpone the announcement of our tour for some days, apologies for that, it’s coming soon!
And we still hope to see you at our show at Cafe the Jack in Eindhoven…
Happy new year everybody! May it be a step up from ’23 in every way thinkable!

Twentytwentyfour promises to be a busy year for us. We can’t reveal all of our plans yet, but we will be doing the longest tour in a while, to a region we haven’t been to for too long, in March; announcement coming soon! We’re also very excited to go back to the UK for Manchester Punk Fest and to Italy for Teste Ribelli Fest!
After releasing an album last year it is time to pick up our instruments to write some new music; first tunes and demos are in the works already! We’ve also got some new merch, including zippers, coming. Artwork by Daggers Design, looking amazing, pre-orders starting in a couple of weeks.
As every year we made a playlist with the new music from the past year that we’ve enjoyed the most, including friends and bands from close to home and far away, some extremely obscure and others more established; enjoy!
Lastly, we hope to meet you in ’24, maybe at one of these below? Or on a to be announced show, where should we come play?
