Hi there, summer holiday is unfortunately almost over. After a fantastic time
in greece lots of things are happening. Joensuu's E.P. will be out on 26th of
september at our releaseparty in Waterfront Rotterdam, where ofcourse, we (amongst
other bands) will be playing. We are very busy writing new material, already
looking forward to recording our full length! Other than that I have written
an acoustic song for my sister's wedding, which I will soon record and put on
my myspace. I feel as if I just have to keep on putting out music and just see
whatever happens. Also check out the new website of my good friend Rene www.axepose.com,
it's a community for creatives where you can show the world what is your talent
(or what isn't). Bye!

The first two days of recording our EP with Joensuu have past and they went
fantastic! René of Dufry Studio's really uplifted our songs in ways we
couldn't have imagined, he's an amazing producer. Next friday we will lay down
some more guitar parts and vocals and finally, we will mix and master next month
at Mailmen Studio's. Thanx Rene for letting us crash at your place and for the
good laughs! B

So the Plee de Musique website releaseparty will take place this Sunday, in
my hometown Rotterdam, at my homestreet Nieuwe Binnenweg (I was actually born
there) in one of my homecafe's Stalles. It starts at 15.00 hours and finishes
around 17.00 (no costs). I, along with other artists who performed at Plee de
Musique, will play two songs. It's very close to the Euromast Park where the
Dunya Festival is taking place that day so it's easy to drop by if you're there.

It's been a long time, sorry for that. But lots of things are happening. I have
a new band, which is going absolutely fantastic, it's the band I always wanted
to have. We're moving in a very strong steady pace so you will definately hear
from us soon. Plus I have some other things in my head that I want to pursuit
in the near future (showing off more of my scandinavian side). Besides this
all I will play a two song gig, Sunday the 27th of may at Stalles Rotterdam

in the student singer/songwriter contest 2006. It will take place in Plan C,

section for more info). Other than my solo project I am finally getting my band
Beautiful Mind up and running and it is going very good. It's time to fire..

The show yesterday with Walter was really fun. Walter gave a great show, he
was a really cool guy and very funny. My own set went pretty well for a first
time and because Sam and I both thought it was a very cool thing to do, we decided
to just play some more shows whenever we can. My friend Rene taped the whole
thing, so I will put one or two songs on this site soon. I will keep you updated
about it, for now, enjoy this hot picture with me, Sam and the legend himself
Walter!

will be doing some songs supported by my friend Sammy with just guitars and
vocals. Be sure to come! check out the Live section for more information.

Check out my good buddy René's site www.famousface.nl and check me out
doing an amazing cover of Alkaline Trio's 'Enjoy your day' (from the album Goddamnit)
(I try to imitate Matt Skiba's voice) ( i'm the hot guy in the upperleft corner).
Anyway, it's a really cool site, if you think you have a talent in whatever,
you can make a small clip of yourself and put it in the website. If other people
think you rock as well, they can vote for you to be the most famous! Great idea
huh?? So get out your cheap ass spanish guitar or your hula hoop and show the
world what you are made of! www.famousface.nl
