18 aug 10 - We're back... (with news!)
Hello there peoples!

Lots of stuff happened in a short period of time known as the summer. Here are some excerpts:
We kicked off with a summer tour through Europe with the good ol’ No Good Around boys. Thirteen days of sweating and swearing in a nine seater and lots of bromance delivered us a successful summer.

A BIG thanks to all the people who came to our shows and helped us out on the road !

After our summer tour we had ourselves the honor of organizing this year’s Punk Rock Soccer Cup, a football tournament consisting of teams representing Holland’s finest underground punk rock bands. And we’re proud to say that we've won the cup once again!! Which means we will be organizing the tournament once again in our hometown Groningen next year (See you guys next year!)
Btw, it got some media attention here and here, check it out! (in Dutch)

And for all you download geeks out there… we’ve decided to upload all the songs of our EP ‘When Reality Kicks In’ on bandcamp.com, on where you can download our songs for absolutely free!
Check it out here.

Last but not least: expect a complete layout changeover in the coming months!

GOOD STUFF! -X-

4 feb 10 - Long Way Down to support Destine
Heya!

We're glad to announce we're going to support Destine tomorrow evening in the Vera (Groningen). It's actually their first show of their Headline Tour, promoting their new album 'Lightspeed'... and the gig is SOLD OUT!!
We got this gig because we won a contest initiated by 3FM and Destine to search for 'special-guest' support bands for their Headline Tour.
Doors open @ 19.00 and we'll kick off the evening at 19.30 to get the people fired up for the main act of the night!

We're siked!
Cheers

Long Way Down

4 jan 10 - Studio dates delayed
Heya folks,

We regret to inform you that we had to postpone our studio dates...

I'll explain:
we want(ed) to record 5 songs, but we still had to write 2 of the 5 songs because we didn't want to record older songs. As a drive force for writing those 2 songs, we figured it to be good to just plan the dates ahead in time, so we could work towards those dates... Well, if there's one thing we learned from this, is that you can't force creativity and inspiration. It could've worked, but you just never know for sure. Luckily we could still cancel those dates with Nico @ XPZ and he told us he could actually use a few days off! 'Elk voordeel heb z'n nadeel'
We're now focussing on our next gig @ Grunnsonic on the 14th of january, be there! And of course work our asses off on new songs...

We expect to be ready for the studio around may.
cheers
