Just a small message to say we're back from tour. We had an amazing time going back to places we played on our first tour in 2004 (Bologna!) and places we've never been before. This must have been one of our best experiences so far. So thanks to all people showing up, helping us out with shows, food, and a floor to sleep on. A special thanks goes out to No Reason Records and Youth Way Records to help us out with bookings and to Etjen & Just Like Your Mom for haul assing on the road.

Written and filmed reports will follow (soon). You can check some pictures Riekus made at our Picasa site. If you happen to have pictures or videos or whatever, feel free to send us some links or files.

Right now we're preparing our next tour through Germany, for which we still need a show on March 1st. And hopefully we can update you all soon, with some nice news. That's all for now.

My dearest diary, I just read that the US military (the US Navy's Military Sealift Command to be precise) is sending 989 containers of ammunition to Israël. I guess that's not for shooting clay pigeons… ugh… On a happier note: we're going on tour in a few weeks. And we're playing in Davos on a day of protests against the World Economic Forum (WEF). I hope those CEO's like a bit of 'heavy guitar music'. Actually, I hope they frickin' hate it… Anyway, check out the dates, come out and party hardy fardy with us. Our good friend Etjen from Just Like Your Mom Toursupport will be with us on this one, so you really have no excuse not to come. That's it for now. Tjuus! Forever yours, Yvo

Hey all, happy pappy new year! Hope you enjoyed your holidays and hopefully we all can continue our "normal" lives again. May 2009 bring you nice punkrock and prosperity for all.

Speaking of useless end-of-the-year-rituals, punx.nl made a year list that actually features our last release, even though the release was pretty early this year. Check it out. Nice top 5!

For our UK tour Yvo wrote a tour diary that we put on our site. This is a direct link. A USA tour report is still to come, hopefully soon!

By the way, did we ever tell you someone must have been bored enough to create a wikipedia page about us? Check! Feel free to add and complete the page. Now that's DIY!

A week ago we got back from a cold and wet yet very entertaining UK tour. We had very cool shows and it was nice to meet up with old friends. Thanks to all for helping us out with shows, sleeping places and heaters. An extremely big "Thank you!" go out to Pieter and Boris who helped us out with driving and doing our merch. We've had a flat tire and ran out of gas, but all in all it was a succesful tour and our "new" van treated us well! A tour report will follow soon.

And of course we're already planning our next tour. In January/February 2009 we will be going to France, Switzerland and Italy. We still have some off days to fill. As usual, feel free to jump in!

Our shows for the UK tour were the last ones we will be playing this year. In total we did 106 shows in 2008, which is the most shows we've ever done in a year. Now let's have a month of rest. As if.

And last but not least NationalUnderground.org put online an interview with us, about our US tour, the Nijmegen scene, how we write songs, etcetera. Check it here. Awesome zine!

Here's a small update from the back of the van, while we're touring the UK. We're pretty much halfway, as we've done 5 of a total of 9 shows. We’ve been to London, Portsmouth, Southampton, Exeter, Basingstoke. With Newcastle, Bradford, Brighton and Caudry still to go. So far everything is going well apart from a flat tire on our van which we were able to fix quite easily. We’ve had good shows, nice people visiting them and typically British weather during the rides. Ah well, right now the weather is terrible everywhere. You can check out some pictures on our picasa and Boris’ flicker account. Both Boris and Pieter are helping us out on this tour. Please stop by if you have the chance. Hope to see you on the road!
