Records, tours and tattoos!

Hey everyone!

Time for a new blog, after like 2/3 months?

First up Kensington Arms is in the finishing stage for the album. End of august, our album will be mastered by Mendel bij de Leij (Escadron) and we set the releaseparty in Vera, Groningen on Oct the 1st! Come over and celebrate the release we put our blood, sweat and beers in... Come early because we have the almighty Screw Houston, Start Screaming to support us!

Kensington Arms shows:
01.10.11 Kensington Arms "Geospizinae" Releaseparty

RE-AMP!


Brutal guest vocals from Gosse Haarsma (ex Last Days of Slavery)


The very next day I will get on a plane for the UK (Liverpool) to catch up with my buddies in Helsinki Seven and fill in for Evan for the upcoming european tour! I just bought a (secondhand) bassguitar for several reasons...



So this is a great opportunity to check that thing out.
Also It's Joe's birthday then so IT'S ALL DARN GOOD!

The Forrester Soundtrack continues too...
(where the fuck do I get the time from)



We've been very busy the last months before summerbreak. We recorded some songs, shot a video, did some shows and still have 2 to go. After am back from the Helsinki tour, I am planning new recordings and see from there what to do with it. An album is up my sleeve but when it's done... I can not tell from this point. The video for the track "Draw the line" will be released soon and another video for a new song will be shot at the end of Sept. All good here too.

The big rockband everyone wants to get to know!
Yesterday JB completed the band after a big audition for a drummer. After a decision struggle on the mix we decided to let Mendel bij de Leij (our 5th invincible bandmember) to finish our EP and we will be rehearsing our show as fast as we can. The EP release will be in November... The month we also head out to the UK to promote our EP over there.

So that's in a nutshell what I am up to...

I'll keep you posted.

P.S. New tattoo and a new one coming next month <3!
