Looking back on 2011 proves we had a busy year. We did around 110 shows, including the support for Boysetsfire on their reunion tour, for Rise Against on their biggest German show to date, and for De Heideroosjes on their farewell tour. 2011 brought us to new places like Russia, Greece, Hungary and Scotland, and saw us play at Eurosonic/Noorderslag, Riez Open Air and the Jupiter Singfest for the first time. Read on for more looking back on 2012 and forward to 2012

Remember those cool Canadians called High Five Drive? We spent a week on the road with them last year and played the Groezrock festival, the UK, Naaldwijk, Belgium and France together.

It’s been a while since we updated, for various reasons: preparing our set with “new guy” Tim, a few shows in the UK and, well, we’ve been busy updating our facebook status and twitter messages.. Which is exactly what we wanted to talk about!

Besides playing a showcase at Eurosonic (video after the click), we were featured in Niels Aalberts’ Noorderslag panel titled “successful use of social media for bands”. Basically a panel about the use of the twitters, facebooks, bandcamps and whatnot. It’s all in Dutch, but definitely worth watching if you’re in a band and wondering what the h*ll to do with all those social media.

We also shot a little video about our (lack of?) “preparations” for the Eurosonic gig. Enjoy!
