Our party last Saturday was great, awesome, and then some. A big shout out (yes, we do shout outs here) to all the bands who put on kick-ass shows without exception, all the crew who helped us out (Temy, Tim, Marten, all the Oudenoorders!) and of course all the drunken bastards who showed up. Here’s some pictures to enjoy. All taken by the all mighty Anneke Hymmen.
We’re all friends here, right? And every now and again friends need to get together, drink a beer or 23 and play some tunes for each other, right? Hella right!
That’s why we’re hosting the second editon of the Ons kent Ons Festival (we won’t even bother translating that) on December 18th at dB’s Utrecht. 18 bands, 4 stages and more awesome music then you can handle.

First of all. We moved in to our new office this week. It’s just as high as it is wide. It has a tiny window, but it’s still amazingly sunny. Check it out!
Further more we can tell that the Black Atlantic keeps on rollin’. They just wrapped up their US tour and continue their journey here in Europe. From now until mid June they can be found in Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. After that the will return to North America to play NXNE and will stay there until late July. Geezzz, busy bodies! On four of these dates the band will join ‘Woven Hand‘. Check out the agenda for more info.
The Walt is currently recording a seven inch as part of an art project to honor Wim Crouwel a famous Dutch graphic designer also know for these little beauties that we used to stick on our letters back in the eighties. Owh and yes you can expect a new album this year!
Het Gloren will play a last minute show on April 20 as support for Tunng @Melkweg, Amsterdam. Nice! More dates are in the works. As for now. Buy/Download that ‘Glorie 123‘ here!
My Bubba & Mi arrived in Italy where they gave birth to their debut record. There’s still a string of dates left before they head back to Iceland…or ehm…probably Denmark for now…

This turned out to be a pretty damn special package for a number of reasons. Let us break it down for you.
1. We go: “It’s completely free!” Then you go: “Yeah, what else is new? All your tunes are up as free downloads.” “No son, we’re talking the actual CD here. When you order something in our shop for 10 euro’s or more, we’ll include this label compilation for zero euro’s.” Then you say: “O No, you didn’t!!”. “Well we did. And if you’re broke, or just really cheap, but still want to own pure coolness, you can order the cd separate for 3 euro’s.”
2. Every cover is completely unique. The front and back of the package are actual photographs (containing tasteful male nudity). We made tons of pictures and handmade sets for each album. We could say ‘collect them all’ but that would cost you 500 × 3 euro’s. Ah, what the hell: ‘Collect Them All!!‘
3. The music on this lil’ silver shiny disc turned out to be not too crappy at all! It’s a nice way to get to know our artists (and then some more). Loyal listeners will recognize most of the songs, but there’s some brand new stuff on there too. Check out the playlist:
Nuff said boys & girls. Listen to the album HERE.

Gonzo Circus Magazine presents it’s second compilation album, compiled with the help of our friends at Simuze. There seems to be plenty of talent walking the smooth earth of Holland, being that the circus choose to publish not one but two cd’s for this comp. It’s available at track13 for only 8 bucks, including a copy of the magazine, issue #92.
The male models of music a.k.a. The Walt are one of the lucky boys to be heard on the album. Hooray!
Check out the complete tracklisting. Read the rest of this entry »
“Het bootfestival dat de Utrechtse band Stairs To Nowhere op een binnenvaartschip aan de Muntkade te Utrecht had gepland, is op last van de verzekering afgelast. Op het festival, dat werd aangekondigd als besloten feest, zouden behalve Stairs To Nowhere ook The Walt en The Exploding Sheltand Ponies spelen.”
De rest lees je hier. Kunnen wij die avond wat anders gaan doen.
