Fall tour with Static Radio NJ

We’ve already played a lot of shows together with New Jersey’s Static Radio, but we figured we should do some more. From September 29th to October 16th we will hit the Snelwegen, Autobahns, Motorways and Autoroutes with them. We’re very happy to work with No Decline bookings for this tour. For further booking information please get in touch with george@nodeclinebooking.com.

That’s it for now. All our music, more detailed info and our webstore including new T-shirt designs can be found at www.antillectual.com. Talk to you soon, see you at one of our shows! The next newsletter might involve more touring, even transcontinental to places we have never been before! Who knows …
