Next week we will support Stonerlegends Yawning Man in my homecity which is Delft. Check the gig-section for more info. Check this page for more info about this lovely city.
I also had some questions about our debut album "Shadow of the Machine", they will be back in stock soon so keep checking the site or our myspace.
Take care!

Hey guys. We have a new stock of black Solar Corona Vinyl, so we're selling them again at Roadburn or by mailorder. (email is in the shop). For those fortunate Roadburn visitors, we wish you a pleasant stay and we will see you at the afterburner.

We would like to state that we have quit producing the music that we made these years. From now on, we will be focusing our time only on honky tonk music. Thank you.

Hello there! Finally an update to this website! But hey, who checks bandwebsites nowadays? Anyway we had a busy period, December was all about recording the new album. David is still mixing/mastering which means that at the moment he has absolutely no life at all. When will it be released? I have absolutely no idea, but probably somewhere in April. We will keep you informed as always.
In the meantime you can still order previously released albums, just click on the shop button on the left. By the way, I(Hans) have taken over merchandise from David to release some pressure from him. This transition was a little vague so if you have mailed us but did not get a reply, please send an email again to me. Any other news? Yes! We are honored to play at the Roadburn festival afterburner in Tilburg on the 18th of April and on the Stoned From The Underground festival in Germany. Check out the gig section for more info. This is updated as well. Okay, so long! And thanks for all the fish.

After discussions with our record label Nasoni Records, we can inform that the upcoming album will be released by the end of April.
The production/pressing of the cd's and vinyl will start next week. Keep checking to be kept updated!

The first message of the new year. Negotiations with record labels are coming to an end, we should be able to make things public
very soon now. At least we're aiming on a release on both CD and LP, this way all you vinyl lovers should be satisfied!!
The website design will give you a slight hint of the artwork of "Solar Corona".


08/12/2008

Howdy. We know you've been waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting... but now we're aiming on a release of the new album
somewhere early next year. More details are to be confirmed very soon now. We'll start making arrangements for concerts as well,
it's about going to be time for it! We'll visit Germany in September 2009: early September we'll play at the BigFuckinSoulKiss Festival
and we'll do a small tour around it (Berlin and surroundings). In the end of September we'll make a trip to München to perform at a
festival as well. Somewhere in July we'll probably do another well known, festival... . Who knows, maybe even January will lead us to
our neighbours in the east.

Just keep checking our site, we'll make sure it's updated quite often.


04/09/2008
The recordings, mixing and mastering: everything's finished. From now on, we'll be exploring different ways to release our album.
Please check MySpace for three new songs. We'll be looking for new gigs as well, some plans for trips to Germany are going to be
more clear soon. Keep checking our gigs! By the way, the new album, entitled Solar Corona, will feature 7 songs and 66 minutes:
Solar Corona, X., Caterpillar's Mushroom, Interstellar Medium, Jam no. Phi, Infinite & Moons of Neptune.


28/05/2008
We're going to record a new album during the second week of August, this year it is. This yet to be titled CD is going to be released
in the beginning of Septembe/October, this year as well. The artwork will have to be worked out and new songs and jams are almost
ready to be recorded. That's it for now.


11/05/2008

Yeah.



Check our gigs to see what's really written above...
By the way, we'll be recording our yet to be named new album during the coming summer.


07/04/2008
Once again, the design has changed a bit, maybe we'll stick to this one a bit longer. Anyway, the gig poster for Elektra's Tuinfeest was
put online yesterday by the venue and as you can see, this is going to be an interesting event! We will be opening the festival in the afternoon,
so if you want to check us, you'd better get out of your bed in time.




07/04/2008

Finally we have our album on stock again. The production of our shirts experienced some delay as well, but those are scheduled to be
finished somewhere next week. Please check our shop to see what and how you can order.

On the 29th of March, we won the finals of "De Kleine Prijs van de Alblasserwaard", which leads us to two festivals in the pre-summer:
Wantijpop on the 14th of June in Dordrecht (NL) and Elektra's Tuinfeest on the 24th of June in Sliedrecht (NL).

In the meanwhile, it's almost Roadburn time! Which means that we're going to enjoy lots of good bands at the festival, but will peform
at "Little Devil" as well, please check our gigs for more information.


20/03/2008
Eearly next week, we'll have the shirts printed, finally. They will look like this (the pics are a bit flashy/lightened because of a flashy cam...,
colors are actually a bit darker):





Please let us know by dropping an e-mail if you'd already like to make a reservation for a shirt. We've got sizes S, M, L and XL for the guys
and 36-42 for the girls (European sizes, S-XL international). The possibility will be there in the near future to order one (or more of course)
with the help of the internet. Just keep checking our site to see when this possible. We will have them with us while
on the road,
so you can buy stuff at every concert.


12/03/2008

With some delay, we will have t-shirts available very soon. We will have grey and dark army green t-shirts for the guys and dark blue and
grey t's for the girls. The shirts will have our logo as seen before entering the main part of our website (index page for the nerds among
us...) printed on them. By the way, the first run of our cd's is completely sold out now, we're expecting new ones early next week.

In the meanwhile, we were asked to play in a rock bar called "Little Devil" in Tilburg. This will be on Fiday, the 18th of April.
The club organizes DevilToBurn, which offers two nights of stoner bands playing the club because of the Roadburn Festival which will
take place the same days in 013, which is very nearby. We'll be playing with the Roadburn experienced Hypnos69 this evening.


27/01/2008
Yesterday we won the pre-round of the "Kleine Prijs van de Ablasserwaard" contest. This leads us into the finals, if won, these will result
in a gig at two festivals.

But before we played at Elektra for KPvdA, we did a last minute gig in Streefkerk at a local festival. Although we were contacted only
3 hours before the concert, we had a really good time there and are glad we could arrange everything on time.

The first pressing of our cd is almost sold out, you'd better hurry up to get your hands on a disc from the first run! We'll have another
pressing done somewhere next week to make sure that we've got plenty of discs available for you. We will also have T-shirts available very
soon, production of these shirts will start within two weeks.

Just keep checking this site to be kept updated.
