BOMBENALARM - Back from The Krankenbett Show
The show was a blast. It was an overwhelming emotional moment to see them again and see Marc releasing all the pressure. So many thanks to all the people who helped, showed up… Special thanks to Loffi/Bianca, Hannover Crew, Michl/Flo/Jessy/Franz and Thom who came especially for that show. SEEIN RED + Gerard for coming and playing. And for sure thanks to Ville, Hekki and Jukka for flying in from Finland and spending so nice nights with me and making the trip to the fest. Lovely people like you make my world!!! Oh, not to forget the days before the fest in Bremen were really good and relaxing days too cause of my suomi friends, Ella and FirstClassSuicide cocktailbar!

SKITKIDS/NIGHTMARE Split 7inch is finally ready. Also a limited version on babyblue vinyl with a great black/bronze screenprint cover by OLLI the Screeprint Maestro!!! The SKITKIDS “Besöket Vid Krubban” LP is also ready.

Slow but sure…
Slow but sure my body and my head recover and the label and everyday life show progress. In mid-march I will have the SKITKIDS releases ready and my wholesalelist newsletter will be updated and be send. So stay tuned i am getting back on track to rock the house!!! Aside from that i had a great weekend with KYLESA and BARONESS. Was amazing live and the people just rule. They know where they come from and who are their friends and they are definitely my friends! Next week i’ll take a 10 days holiday to do rehab for my arm and relax and then full forward to armagedom! By the way check out DSB on their euro tour, definitely great entertainment!
Tampere holiday and Manibox ‘funeral’
The weekendtrip to Tampere was the shit. Sun, Sauna, snow, amazing dinner (Ville thank you so much!), amazing host (Mr. gentleman Jukka, mille grazie!) and an unbelievable great last show of MANIFESTO JUKEBOX. Thanks to all my friends up there. Me and Franz had some of our best days ever! And hej, KYKLOOPIEN SUKUPUUTTO also just blew me away. Their new singer makes em even more furious, check em out live, crazy fucking good!
Suomi, Stockholm…
The anual trip with VICTIMS was a blast. I was too sick to enjoy it completely, but also without the drunken madness on my side it was just brilliant again. Big cheers to the tourcrew! Days in Stockholm were fucking nice too, felt so good to meet my friends there again. You all rule big time. I love you! By the way new DISFEAR Lp is the shit!
Holidays, new year and the annual Suomi trip
I had nice mellow holidays with good friends instead of christmas terror, good friends visiting me for some days, fun bowling match and now relaxing days at my parents in south germany. Next week i’ll head of to Finland, the annual Suomi trip with Victims is on. So happy that I can make it. Will be a great feeling to be on the road again and meet so many good friends again. Afterwards i’ll stay some days in Stockholm and want to hang out with my lovely viking family there. And yeah HAPPY NEW YEAR for the ones who care. I look forward to this one, last one was to much up and downs and deaths. My Grandma died, Kawakami and Chelsea died - R.I.P. - We had the horrible accident but also I was in Japan and had great times with good friends. So this year we leave the death and crash shit out and it’s perfect.
GEWAPEND BETON record release show was THE blast
Saturday in Amsterdam was amazing. Great squat (baarmoeder) , 3 great bands (Bratpack, Gewapend Beton, Antidote), fucking great crowd (spike punks, hc/punks, hc kids from 12 - 49, amazing unity), great atmosphere and great records to celebrate. So the GEWAPEND BETON LP i release in cooperation with Jeschke (DirtyFaces) and Köppe (AttackRecords) is out now! Get a copy and get a great mix of pogo punk and hardcore. GB are the new kings of grachten hopping and dans op de deel!!! I had a lot of fun, thanks to the bands, the kids who set it up and everyone who showed up, drove me back and came along. You know who you are. And Henk you drank to much or not enough so Bocca lost, shame on you!!!
Congratulations Jos and Gerard
Forgot to post this on the website. 7th December i was in Amersfoort to celebrate the wedding of Jos and Gerard. Was my first trip since the accident and it was great. I am super happy for these two lovely bears, great if so good people find each other. I had good fun at the party, watching the over 40 generation dancing and drinking, got pretty wasted drinking and talking with Robert, Noel and Ronald the whole evening. Orange juice and beer glasses piled up in our corner!
