Update, finally

We haven't been standing still the last few months. We did quite a few shows (w/ the Arteries, Junky Donkey, etc. thanks guys!) and can announce we will be featured on a digital compilation album. More info about this soon, hopefully. Also we are busy with the release of our EP, which is taking way too long...

Besides that we are writing new material, so not that many shows planned. We have one though; December 19th @ Timboektoe, Wijk Aan Zee. Together with Elle Bandita, Het Brein Dat Kwam Uit De Ruimte, among others. Come down and say hi and give us beer. Thanks.

Cheerio,

Jort

Back in the NL again

We've had a blast with our tour through the UK! All the 5 shows were a success in our opinions. Hopefully we'll put a review of our tour on here asap. In the meanwhile we'd like to thank every promoter who's put us on, every band we've had the pleasure to share the stage with, every person we staid with on our short but fun tour! Thanks a lot people, this wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for you guys. You're the best.

Take care,

Jort
