First of all there is the North Empire Fest 1.5 coming on November 9th. This 'smaller version' of the previous NE Fest will still have 8 bands playing (last time there were 11) and it will be at the same venue as last year; De Bakkerij in Castricum, NL. We're proud to announce the first part of the line up! The 5 bands confirmed for NE Fest 1.5 are: Broadcaster (US), Muncie Girls (UK), Sweet Empire, Bivouac, and Different Homes. More details will follow, you can also check the 'shows' section.

On October 10th we will have ИO///sé (US) playing at LUA, Beverwijk. Doors are at 8 and it's only 3€ to get in. Other bands playing are the locals of Sweet Empire and Different Homes. Probably we will get one more band on the bill...

New/next show

Coming Monday, August 5th, we'll be putting on a show/party to say goodbye to Rick's awesome place called The Creche. Unfortunately he has to move out, but not before we crash the damn thing one more time! What better way to do that with Crazy Arm, Sweet Empire, and The Cut/Up playing!
