Heideroosjes or HR (déjà-vu)

glen — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 14:09:05 +0000

When I was 13 de Heideroosjes were maybe the first band I saw playing live. They are from the same region I grew up in. It made a big impression. I had no idea what to do and learn at the time, so I picked up playing guitar as a hobby. In my first band there was a guitar player who played better so I switched to bass. Around the same time I also started doing vocals in another band. When HR released their album Fast Forward, they asked my band (No wisdom at that time) to play 3 shows with them. That was a good learning school and cool of them to invite us to play shows in bigger venues at the time. Now, after 10 years, I will be playing with them again on a few of their goodbye shows. A big coincidence for me but cool again. If it was not for this band I would not be playing bass and maybe not even be playing in Antillectual right now.

So maybe I can’t change the world but you can influence a lot of people with music.

At the show on this poster I made a stage-dive during the support act. I bounced on the floor and my knee was all swollen. I made it through the evening, but the next morning my parents had to call a doctor because I couldn’t move my leg anymore. An ambulance had to take me to the hospital . My knee was bigger than a orange! They ended up having to take some fluids and blood out of my knee. Everything turned out OK, but sometimes I still have the idea my left knee is weaker than my right knee.

€6,50 discount on tickets for No Use For A Name

riekus — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 13:51:48 +0000

New Pokerface and we will be the supports for the November 11 show of No Use For A Name at the W2 in Den Bosch. Needless to say, we are very happy to play that show. The last time we supported No Use at de Effenaar in Eindhoven was a blast!

Anyway, the W2 is allowing us to offer 10 tickets with a €6.50 discount. That means you can get into this show for a measly 10 euros. Wanna be that cheapskate punk? (cheap skate punk, ha!) Just drop us a line at info@antillectual.com and we’ll sort it out. First come, first serve.

See you in Den Bosch!

Fall tour with Static Radio NJ

We’ve already played a lot of shows together with New Jersey’s Static Radio, but we figured we should do some more. From September 29th to October 16th we will hit the Snelwegen, Autobahns, Motorways and Autoroutes with them. We’re very happy to work with No Decline bookings for this tour. For further booking information please get in touch with george@nodeclinebooking.com.

That’s it for now. All our music, more detailed info and our webstore including new T-shirt designs can be found at www.antillectual.com. Talk to you soon, see you at one of our shows! The next newsletter might involve more touring, even transcontinental to places we have never been before! Who knows …

Back home + supporting Rise Against

riekus — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 16:25:19 +0000

Since our last update from the back of the van, we’ve played a bunch of more shows in Italy, some in very impressive places (l’Aquila – struck by an earthquake only 2 years ago) and returned home. Sadly, the show in Vicenza had to be cancelled due to the venue having trouble with the local police. We are very sorry and insist that one day we WILL play Vicenza, fingers crossed. The last show in Oberburg (SWI) was one that will probably remain in memory for a while: take a small town outside Bern, add two punkrock bands and a bunch of enthousiastic local kids in a farm’s basement, and you’re bound to have a great night!

Coming home was nice though, and playing our headquarter De Onderbroek with long time friends Astpai, In-sane and One Win Choice was very heartwarming!

For now, we have one show added to our schedule that we feel you should know about: on August 13th, we will be the ‘special guest’ with Rise Against in Düsseldorf’s Philipshalle. We’ve played with them before in Groningen’s Oosterpoort, and we’re very happy to share the stage again. Our friends Yvo and Etjen were recently on tour with them selling books for the Typewriter Distro and Yvo has been writing some blogs about it, pretty interesting!

That’s all for now. Tickets for the Rise Against show go on sale on Friday, 15th of April 10:00am CET via www.x-why-z.eu

Shield recordings and Typewriter will bring their distros to provide you with the best Sinterklaas presents of the decade. On a related note: we will sell the last copies of our stack of limited vinyl of “Start From Scratch!”.

Bring all your friends, but make sure you are on time. Doors open at 21.00h and it will get FULL. You can also reserve tickets. Wondering which of your facebook friends are coming?

KOME!
