Hello dear friends!
How are you doing? We’re doing great, a lot of stuff is happening for us at this moment. We’ve been very busy, mainly with the following things:
- USA Tour reports
- Euro Tour coming up
- Finished new recordings
- Tourdates
USA Tour reports
This July we toured the USA for the second time in our existence and we had a serious blast. This country just keeps amazing us over and over again. The friendliest people and the most dedicated scene. All this despite the media coverage we experience from the almighty USA abroad. If you want to read/hear/see what we have done in the States there are several tour reports. On
our website you can find a written report from day to day, including a link to the pictures we took. This report can also be found on the
musicfrom.nl website, in Dutch only. If you want to see and hear how we’ve experienced this adventure go to the
reload website. There you can find four videos and a written report in Dutch. On our
youtube page you can find all videos we shot and become our dearly beloved “friend”!
Euro Tour coming up
In a couple of days we’ll be leaving together with our friends from Static Radio for our longest Euro tour to date, starting September 28 in one of our hometowns, Nijmegen at the Merleyn. This will be our first gig in Nijmegen since the Valkhof Affaire/Zomerfeesten gig in July 2006. The other dates can be found on the bottom of this letter and if you have the chance, please stop by and say “hello!”. For this tour we will be bringing a complete new line of merchandise and the tour 7”
Square of Opposition Records and Glory Days of Youth Records released. We will be keeping a diary on the biggest Dutch music magazine:
3 voor 12, in Dutch unfortunately but we’ll post it in English on our website afterwards. The tour poster for this trip (all languages) can be found
here .Spread the image and be on the look out for Just Like Your Mom’s van!
Finished new recordings
The recordings for our new full length are finished. From august 15-26 we’ve been recording in Die Tonmeisterei studio in Oldenburg, Germany together with Nico van Montfort (a.o. Face Tomorrow, Malkovich, Instil). We are mixing the record as we speak and the mastering will be done once again by Alan Douches at the West West Side Music (a.o. Sepultura, Hot Water Music, Strike Anywhere) in the USA. We are talking to several labels about this new release, but no label commitments have been made so far. Hopefully “Testimony” will be released before the end of this year. You can still listen to/download the new demo recordings we made in March on our website and myspace.
Miscellaneous
Furthermore we are working on a new website (about damn time!) together with Suzette from
Hi-Fibre. A video report of the recording sessions will be online soon. And of course, you can still order our last full length “Silencing Civilization” for 10 euro (incl.) and other merchandise that can be found on our website through us ( info@antillectual.com ). You can still stream our complete full length on our
Purevolume account. Try before you buy!
