Sat 7 Jun – High on Fire, Orange Sunshine

It was only a couple of days ago I found out High on Fire were playing a place in The Hague I had never heard off before. Immediately I had to think of a connection to Orange Sunshine, and my instinct turned out to be right - which is also good for a change. It started late. Orange Sunshine didn't go on until 22.45 or something but we knew that so we hadn't been waiting that long really. The few beers had been consumed when Orange Sunshine went on. There…

Awesomely awesome news straight from the Big Bizzo MySpace. The upcoming Melvins album has a title and there's a European tour planned for the fall. We're getting spoiled.

I know it's late, but it's high time we get everyone on the same page for the upcoming year in Big Business.

Right now I am sitting in a recording studio in Hollywood as Jared is doubling his bass parts on a new Melvins record. Check out the photos in our photos. It has a name, and we'll be spilling the beans on that one shortly. Everything seems to be going as…

See below. For the non-English speaking, and retarded, the Melvins will be performing the soundtrack they composed for Cameron Jamie movies.

De Amerikaanse band The Melvins zal op het Internationale Filmfestival Rotterdam een optreden geven. De groep werd opgericht in het begin van de jaren 80 in Aberdeen. Inderdaad ook de thuisbasis voor Nirvana. Tevens waren The Melvins ook van grote invloed op die band.

De band speelt op het Filmfestival de door hen gecomponeerde soundtrack bij drie films van de Amerikaanse regisseur en kunstenaar Cameron Jamie.
De band speelde in april dit jaar nog in de popzalen Vera…

Last weekend my gf and I were in Tilburg once again; the Dutch city that also the Roadburn festival. This time it was time for another indoor festival, namely ZXZW (Zuid Bij Zuidwest, indeed, Dutch for SXSW). This 3rd edition was once again very successful. It's quite amazing how a festival that focuses on independent art in the broadest meaning of the term (music, dance, film, art), is able to get such a high quality & quantity (120 acts!) line up, and still manages not to raise the already ridiculously low ticket prices: 10 euro! Bands were performing all over…

Wed 15 Aug – Liars

Went to see the Liars yesterday. They played a show in Amsterdam at a small studio for VPRO; a Dutch broadcasting company. The show was for free, all you had to do was put yourself on a guest list before it was full, I think there was room for about hundred people. A recording of this will most likely be available on the VPRO website soon, in either audio or video.

Ok, me and the Liars. We go along quite well, and the more time we spend together, the better we get to know, understand…

I'll be playing Flipper covers Saturday August 4 in Leiden, Holland. I play bass for a short while now and this is the gonna be the first time I perform to an audience. But it's Flipper so it's going to be alright. I love the fact I don't even have to stay sober. Songs we're gonna be playing are Way Of The World, Ever, Sacrifice, Love Canal, Ha Ha Ha, Sex Bomb, and maybe Life.
