While the city of Nijmegen and its surroundings are being visited by tonnes of international marchers and possibly even more beer drinking festival-goers, we are preparing for a little Four Day March of our own. Starting tomorrow, a weekend tour of a mere 2700 kilometers will be our main concern. We’re really looking forward to the festival shows on Fluff 2009 and Scream Out Fest, aswell as the clubshows in JKC Kamen and Sunny Red Feierwerk. Our friend Erik ‘Gameface’ of Sandcreek Massacre will be accompanying us to Fluff.

This will also be the first tour where we carry the new acoustic 7″ “Pull the Plug” in our merch.

Come say hi at one of these shows:

Jul 23      Germany Kamen      JKC
Jul 24     Czech Republic Rokycany/Plzen     Fluff Fest     w/ a trillion bands!!
Jul 25     Austria Pöllau bei Hartberg     Scream Out Festival     @ Club 81
Jul 26     Germany München     Sunny Red – Feierwerk

..Or somewhere along the way?

For those who can’t make it to the German shows: no worries, we’ll be back in Germany in August, touring with the lovely people of Rentokill

So we had 3 very nice shows last week of which 2 acoustic. And I must say it’s going better and better. Reactions are overall positive. Obviously we aren’t going for the popularity vote beacuse you know that some people will prefer loud guitars over acoustic ploink ploink. Make up your own mind and listen to a song on our Myspace. Anyhow, Punx.nl liked our acoustic 7 inch so much they made it CD (!) of the week and gave us a nice review.

In the mean time Riekus has been busy updating this site and improving what was not perfect yet, and now it all is! You can search this site through the search field on the top right, and some more social networks have been added next to it, Twitter, Facebook, Last.fm, PureVolume, you know the drill. From now on Facebook.com/antillectual is the direct link to our page over there, by the way.

Besides that we updated the merch section and took out what wasn’t available anymore and put in the new EP. Get it while it’s still hot and pink! We also have some samplers (for instance the 15 years AFA compilation) which aren’t featured. Email us if you’re interested, we’ll throw in some nice goodies like stickers and posters.

And last the interview we did in Mülheim in March is online at Get Addicted. There’s also a live video at the same site with a new song.

Let us know if you can help us out with a show for one of our upcoming tours! B-bye!

And it seems we are back! And we’re very happy with that. Some features will still be added, but we’re up and running, and that’s what matters most. We have two (2) tour reports to announce. One from our tour through Germany in February/March of this year the we forgot to put up here. The other one is from our tour through Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Austria in May. Enjoy!

Furthermore we are happy to announce a tour with our European political punker colleagues of Rentokill! Check the shows section for when and where exactly. A nice package to have an enjoyable evening with I presume. On top of that Tom from Smash the Statues will be joining us on the road despite his here and there somewhat peculiar taste in music. Kidding, we love him. And not only for coming on tour with us. We are still in need of one (1!) show, let us know if you want to help us out.

Today we also received our new and acoustic “Pull the Plug” 7″. In case you want to order one let us know. It costs 5 euro and contains four (4!) songs. And we’re extremely happy with the PINK result. More info will follow soon in our merch section. You can listen to a song on our myspace page.

In the mean time we keep adding more and more “local” shows in between our busy touring schedule. Check the shows section for those and let us know if you want us to play your metropole too. More (+) news soon!
