North Empire

We’re happy to announce Elway (US) and All Aboard (DE) will be over in October to show us how to party. Tuesday October 16th @ Cafe Lokaal, Heemskerk (20:00h, free in).

Jort is celebrating his birthday in Cafe Lokaal, Heemskerk this Saturday. Of course there are some great bands playing:

‘Punk is dead’ is a saying often heard. That’s not true, at least in Holland it is not. To prove the Dutch punk scene is vibrant and alive North Empire has released Say Cheese!.

This compilation features 18 Dutch punk rock bands, each contributing one song. Varying from established to upcoming bands, every single one of them hardworking and delivering top quality songs. Making it obvious the Dutch punk scene is alive, varied, and offering a lot of great music to listen to.

The compilation is available as a ‘pay-what-you-want’ download. All the revenue made with this compilation will go to a good cause. Wakker Dier in this case, a Dutch organization fighting for the welfare of animals in the bio industry. Please help out when you download the compilation.
The compilation is available via: http://northempire.bandcamp.com

Featured bands: Anvery, Brat Pack, Long Way Down, Translated, Sweet Empire, Note To Amy, De Aanslag, New Pokerface, Face Tomorrow, Sparky’s Revenge, Antillectual, Drunktank, All On Black, Break Character, Midnight Menace, Sidewalk, The Real Danger, and Sparrow Falls.

This Saturday Andrew Cream, Tes, and Frank Doesburg will be playing De Bakkerij, Castricum. 21:00h, €3.
