Beep! Beep! designer exposed

It’s common knowledge people love us. But have you ever asked yourself why?
Well, we did. First off, most people are cheap and we don’t charge shit for our tunes. So that’s a no brainer really. Second, we just look good. Don’t deny it, you do feel a little attracted to us, don’t cha? That’s all because of one fella known as The Designer a.k.a. De Haak a.k.a. Cpt. Hook a.k.a. The BeepBeep Host a.k.a. Hasja a.k.a. ‘That Guy Who Is Always Shouting In Your Face And Seems To Has This Weird Obsession With His Tongue By Showing It All The Time‘.

Well, anyway, this guy is in charge of all of our designwork and he’s damn good at it. That’s why dB’s will host an exposition of his work he made for Beep! Beep! You all are more than welcome to come and have a little glas of bubbles with us during the grand opening at this Saturday (5-12), 16:00, dB’s, CAB-Rondom 100, Utrecht. See ya there!

(and yeah..it’s free..cheapo)

here’s what db’s has to say about it:

Opening van alweer een expositie in dBs. Dit keer met werk van Sacha van den Haak, verantwoordelijk voor o.a. het prachtige artwork van de Beep! Beep! Back up the Truck concerten.Voor elk affiche dat hij maakt tekent hij zelf de typografie. De illustraties worden in 1 keer op papier gezet zonder bestaande fonts na te tekenen. Hierdoor ontstaan lettervormen die vaak enigszins vreemd lijken of gewoonweg niet kloppen. De foutjes die onstaan door deze methode worden gecultiveerd en maken deel uit van het ontwerp. Puur, spontaan en verwijzend naar elementen uit de ondergrondse vrije pers uit de jaren zestig/zeventig. Je bent van harte uitgenodigd om de opening bij te wonen, oh en ah te roepen en je te vergrijpen aan hapjes en drankjes.

Kismet; ‘Hiatus’ Performed Acoustically But Not Necessarily Worse

`Seven Songs Of Our Previous Record ‘Hiatus’ Performed Acoustically So They’ll Sound A Little Different But Not Necessarily Worse’

kismetlivecdlabel

Kismets little gesture to mothers, daughters, openminded hetrosexuals, metrosexuals, homosexuals, and let’s not forget the mainstream. In short. This release might not be suitable for machos, but most definitely is for people who fancy machos. Catch our drift?

These seven songs were recorded in their hometown Utrecht during a live show back in june. They guy who’s responsible for all this would be Chris Regtop, who actually graduated with this project at the School For Awesome & SuperTalented People Who In Fact Are SuperTalented (and most of them awesome) But Problably Will Have To Live Of Government Funding Or Try And Find A Real Job Cuz The Music Bizz Is A Bitch (what’s up with superlong idiotic titles anyways these days?!).

Give these songs a try and download ‘em HERE. If you’d like to buy it, you can find it in our webshop. Or come and pick one up yourself at one of their livingroom shows with The Black Atlantic and Het Gloren
in December. Awesome times! Dates are below.
