Check out the following event:

Today, dutch Antillectual sent out a newsletter, about their new bass player Tom (read also this article, i posted a few weeks ago, about Yvo leaving the band), about their (warm) winter tour through south-west europe and their tour togehter with High Five Drive (yeah, they will come to europe in april!).

They add also, that there will be a new Antillectual album out in 2010!

Last Saturday we played our last show ever with Yvo on bass. A crazy sold out show was a nice way to close this chapter. In Tom we found an amazing replacement presenting us a very glourious future ahead. Our first step is a tour that will hopefully get us somewhere warmer.

Warm Winter Tour

Belgium, France, Spain and Portugal seemed to be the best destinations when touring in January and February. If you live in the area, please drop by and say hi!

Dutch Export

Since we are known to tour a lot Buma Cultuur (the Dutch authors- and copyrights organization) mentioned us in their press bulletin announcing that the export of Dutch pop music was raised by 15% in 2008. Read the Dutch version and the English version.

Recording a New Album

A week after we get back from tour we will be entering the studio. It has been almost 2 years since we released our last full length album “Testimony”. We will record 12 new songs with Nico van Montfort at the Erock studio in Panningen. On the upcoming tour and shows we will play a lot of these songs to get them into shape. A release will follow later this year.

Tour with High Five Drive

We never promised to slow down. After we finish recording, mixing and mastering we will embark on another tour. Together with High Five Drive from Canada we will be playing shows in France, the UK and Belgium between April 25 and May 1. Routing to be announced soon. Get in touch if you feel like helping us out.

Thanks, you made it, friends ‘til the end!

Aus dem aktuellen Chilibox-Newsletter:

**RIP Heidenspass ? Loft**

Heidenspass ist nicht mehr und wird am kommenden Samstag zu Grabe getragen ? hier alle off. Infos dazu:

?Nach 6 jahren ist es nun soweit, wir haben beschlossen die heidenspass festival serie sowie grill'n'roll & frozen amps zu beenden. aus einer betrunkenen idee entstanden, waren es 6 jahre in denen wir viel spaß hatten, mit großartigen leuten zusammenarbeiten konnten, interessante leute kennenlernen durften, sehr sehr viel gelernt haben, und hoffentlich einigen leuten ein paar feine tage & erinnerungen beschert haben! wir haben wirklich lange um eine entscheidung gerungen und denken das das jetzt die richtige ist. wir werden uns mal vorerst anderen, alten und neuen projekten widmen, wer weiß viell. auch früher oder später wieder die eine oder andere veranstaltung machen, aber jetzt mal nach dem motto "aufhören wenns am schönsten ist" die serie der heidenspass.at events beenden.

wir möchten uns natürlich bei allen leuten bedanken die bei den events dabei waren und vorallem bei all jenen die das festival 6 jahre lang durch mitarbeit im vorfeld/vor ort, durch ideen und sonstigen input oder einfach nur freundliche worte ermöglicht und unterstützt haben, you know who you are!

ein großes danke natürlich auch an alle (~75) bands & dj's die uns seit 2004 beehrt haben!

und damits nicht ganz so plötzlich aus und vorbei ist, gibts noch eine kleine "abschiedsfeier" und zwar am 09.01.2010 @ the loft! Das Chilibox DJ Team wird uns wie gewohnt mit Musik aller Punk, Hardcore, Ska & Rock´n´Roll versorgen ;)

also liebe leute, schön wars/wirds
mike & flö für das gesamte heidenspass.at team?

Smash The Statues has broken in October 2009 (more informations and statements are on their MySpace) and are currenlty playing their final shows in the Netherlands.

As they announced some days ago, the last chance for you to see them live on a concert is on January 23th in Nijmegen (next to the german border), together with "Antillectual", slovenian "In-Sane" and the swedish band "The Acoustic Alarm".

It is also the last show for Antillectual's bassplayer Yvo. I have already posted this some weeks ago: http://skate-o-phobia.blogspot.com/2009/12/antillectual-merch-update.html
