30/04/2008 Home Sweet Home!
We're back from our tour in Canada! After 15 days spent on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, we got sweet memories in the head. It has been an awesome first time out of Europe, and we're already thinking of touring again overthere. We ate poutine, we watched the hockey series of Montreal Canadians (we became huge fans by the way), we loved "foufounes electriques" (those of you who have already been in Montreal will know what we're talking about), we met the Flatliners after 2 years of email chatting, we shot a video clip, we met some people from our town, we got sunburned, we shared the stage with amazing bands, we have now a lot of new friends, and we got soooo many people to thank... First of all, a big THANK YOU goes out to Dédé, his father and Dom (as well as their girlfriends) for hosting us during 2 weeks, it was a blast! A thumb up goes out to Punkmeup.com crew for putting on this tour, without them we wouldn't have been able to do it. Thanx to Maxe and her family for the night spent in their home in Jonquière, it was awesome. Thanx to Manu and Audrey for the sightseing in Montreal. Hurray to Subb, PL Mafia and Scream Out for the gigs we've done together, that was insane! Also, thanx to P-L from Slam Disques and to our friends Guerilla Poubelle for the last minute gig in Sherbrooke. Thanx, in no particulier order, to Sick End, Captain Finger, the Hunters, Skankin Riot, Winslow, les Faramineux, Mary Go Run, Tagada Jones, Shot by Jack, Fleeba, the Others, Lofofora, the Betrayal Process, Dance Laury Dance and all the other bands i've forgotten. Thanx to the promoters for putting on our gigs. Thanx to the media (newspapers, radios, magazines) which showed interest in our band. Thanx to Westgate in Longueuil for allowing us to shoot that video despite the noise, and to all the people who acted in this video. Last but not least, thanx to the Office Franco-Québecois pour la Jeunesse, to Unibéton, and to our tatooist friend Jack for the financial support. That's a promise, we will not forget any of you, and we'll be back soon! Now, we're back on the European roads every weekend until late June, and will then go on tour in the Eastern part of Europe, in Russia and in Ukraine for 3 weeks. Damn, it's soooo good to be home sometime, haha!

Tonight, gig in Quebec!

06/03/2008 RIP Stef
On saturday 23rd of February, our Belgian friend Steven Deprez passed away, after a long fight against cancer. Steven has been one of the first folks to believe in us: he managed to put us on numerous belgian gigs, we played several gigs with his band "Pick on the Fat Kid", he enabled us to record some songs in his home studio, he was there when we needed some help... Steven was a Mate, with a big "M", dedicated to his family, friends and band. We will miss him...
Some years ago, we wrote a song dedicated to him: "Strike Back", available on our EP "Rock My Reality". Today, we decided to put this song online again on our website: download the song here , spread it around you. This is not promotion, this is a simple thing we want to do, in memory of our friend.
Rest In Peace Stef.
18/02/2008 We love Germany!
Hey all! We've been on tour since friday in Germany, and tonight we're playing with Anti-Flag in Munich... Big venue, loud sound. Everything is going awesomely well, the gigs are huge, the crowds are huge (and we're not talking of the ability of german people to drink beers). In brief, we're having a blast! We're doing a 2nd gig in Munich tomorrow, then driving to Austria for 2 shows, and will come back to Germany for the 3 last gigs of the tour.
27/01/2008 Day 11
Another video from our summer tour 2007. Today, Saint Petersbourg, in Russia.
25/01/2008 Loud! Very loud!
Hey folks! A couple of months ago, we started to work on our next album, writing songs, sorting out lyrics and so on... And to work the best way we can, we thought it would be a good thing to record demos of these songs (well, we're still writing and recording demos). And lucky you, we just put on one of these totally unreleased songs on our Myspace page! Remember it's a demo version, recorded in a home studio, by our good friend Vincent Marion who with we've been working for years already. The song is entitled "I. R.efuse A.ll Q.ualms". We definitely hope you'll like it. Tell your friends! Have a good one!

Hey!
We have been in Germany since yesterday, and we celebrated the release of our album in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with the whole Long Beach Records Europe team and the crew from One Louder Promotion (our German press and public relation agency from now on). A great gig with our friends from Versus You and the Bandgeek Mafia. An extremly big THANK YOU goes out to Gernot, Biggi and Winnie, as well as all the people taking care of us in Germany!
30/10/2007 some news!
Some of you knew this, some others didn't; it's time for us to make it an official statement: Hugo quits the band! He's been our drummer for... 6 months only but wants to focuss on his other bands. We wish him good luck! Hail to Willy, our new drummer! He will make his first gig with us on November the 9th! We definitely can't wait! Have a look at his Myspace page and do not hesitate to leave a comment! This will warm him!
In the vein of what's just said above, hurray to... Triky!!! Our former trombone player is coming back to play with us until Jaws returns from New-Zealand! He has been on stage since last week-end, in Germany. Hurray!
Our debut album will be out in Germany, Switzerland and Austria on November the 2nd, distributed by Avasonic/Rough Trade. Zebralution will take care of the digital distribution. Last but not least, "...And the Lipstick Traces" is now available in every single disc shop in France, Belgium and the Netherlands: if you can't find it, simply ask the retailers and they'll order it for you.

Jaws! Remember to take as many pictures of sheeps as possible ;)
08/08/2007 Holidays!
Hiya all! Well, as you may have noticed, we didn't give any news during the tour, and we didn't put online the video tour report we told you about... Why? Well, the reasons are damn simple: we didn't get any internet access during enough time to give some news, and our laptop crashed after 4 days of touring so we weren't able to edit the videos... But for the 1st time in our life as a band, we had no other problems than this laptop thing during the tour! The gigs have been awesome, packed clubs, wicked festivals, awesome bands met (defdump, extinct, kazan, after taste, kunn, ictus and many more... sorry if we forgot the names), kick-ass crowds, a russian guy who did 4.000 km by train to come see us gigging in Moscow, and other russian girl who did a 24hours trip by bus to come to see us gigging in Ukraine, thousands of pictures we took, hours of videos recorded... In brief, 25 awesome days. As usual, we would like to thank the promoters, show organizers, tour booking agencies, support bands, people who came to our shows, people who offered us food and drinks, shower, a place to sleep. Without them, we wouldn't have been there. Also, we would like to thank EAST PRO SHOP and IRISH PUB in France, BOVAGE in Belgium and REBEL VANS in Germany who enabled us to tour in a "luxurious tour van"! We will soon put the video tourreport online so that you can have a more precise idea of what happened during this tour. And we definitely cannot wait to meet you on our upcoming gigs; there are many to come (every weekend) until mid november. We are also working on a Spain tour in february 2008, as well as a Candian tour, maybe in April 2008... But for now, we're taking a 1 month holidays after 11 months spent on the road... And we definitely need to slow down our asses a little bit before the new 2007-2008 season starts hehe!
Thanx once again for your support!
09/07/2007 Poland
Hey, we've been on tour for 4 days now and everything is going extremly well! The gigs has been awesome: the muddy Decibulles festival in France, Zlin in Czech Republic and its Zidane and Platini's fans, Olsztyn in Poland and its weird kebabs... We have a kick ass van on this tour and we are enjoying it as hell! We are still in Poland today, in Gizycko, and it's awesome to meet again with the promoters who are putting us on for the 3rd time already. Tomorrow, we are heading to Lithuania for 2 gigs... Baltic States, here we come!
02/07/2007 Vilnius!
We just got the confirmation that we will be playing Vilnius on July 11th! Hurray! We were affraid of not having any gig in this city, whereas it is usually one of the best gig we have on tour. New Style Club, here we come!
01/07/2007 Yata!
Hurray! Our new website is online. We've waited a long time for it and we're damn happy with it. Check every section, there are many things avaible on this website! We hope you'll like it.
