A friend wrote me an email to complain about the fact that I have not been writing anything about myself and my musical projects for some time now, so here goes:

- First full album of For Greater Good just came back from mastering, and I'm happy to say it sounds amazing, yihaa... and artwork is done. Now it's down to us getting the licenses needed for printing and pressing and then it will be released upon the world, so more on that soon...

- Devoted Symbols will play live @ OJC Kompas in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium on 05-04-2008

- Some new collabs are in the pipeline... more on those as they progress.

- Krisje and I are fine, still going strong and falling in love with eachother every couple of weeks. Kamiel is also fine (That's our cat!!!)

Small stage, smaller speakers ;-)
If the weather is fine outside, if it's rainining then inside,...
Cheap beer, Free Entrance and great bands from Lier.
Rock, Rockabilly, pop-rock, punk, hardcore, screamo, EBM-electro and some more rock... A bit for everyone's taste... and the order of bands playing was chosen at random so nobody is the real headliner or the real starterband...

Dead End Streets
CCC
Traffic Sign
Polly Poison
Daybreak
Devoted Symbols
Chief Pleas

+ a great afterparty with dj-sets by some of the bands (More info soon!!!)
