On 06/12 we played our last gig of 2014 in
Den Deugniet in Kortrijk. We're not asked that much in Kortrijk although
it's always fun playing there. Same thing in this pub: good audience, good
bands (The Go-Hards, The Empty Bottles), good pub, so we played again a
very decent gig there ! |

On 10/11 we played the 25th Anniversary
fest of the world famous Vort'n Vis in Ieper. This means they started in
1989 and guess what, we played there too in 1989,
here's even a gig
report of that show. In the mean time this was our 5th gig in de Vort'n
Vis and this time we played in their temporary pub, small but crowded,
that's the way we like it ! Our compliments to the organization and
hopefully next year we can play again in the renewed old pub. |

In September we had another unforgettable
edition of our own Rock@Schuiferskapelle, 14th edition already. Local bands Spitville and
The Heavenly Kings attracted already soon in the evening a big audience
which became only bigger during our own set. The tributebands Pure Kult
and the German-based The Sweet-tributeband Fanny Adams were the toppers of
the evening. As I'm a Sweet-fan for about 40 years already, this was for
me personally a night never to forget, thanx Fanny Adams ! |

In June we had this great gig in Kortrijk.
For a strange reason it was only the 3rd time in our life we played in
Kortrijk and it was a great evening ! Not only our gig in the Ziggy was a
blast but afterwards we visited some more pubs and ended finally in
peerburp, sorry beerpub, the Gainsbar next to the Ziggy where we spent
some more hours. Great pub with a very sympathetic bartender ! |

We experienced some problems updating the
site, as Google suddenly defined our site as a reported attack site. It
took months to fix everything, but here we are back again. |

After a break of 7 (seven !) weeks without
rehearsals because of Keez' injured shoulder, we finally finally could
rehearse again. Watch out now Keez. |

Yesterday we were invited for a preview of
the documentary Bloody Bloody Belgium in which Roy Wallace (IRL) tells the
story of the Belgian punkhistory. Good work and well done Roy, we hope it
will become available on DVD as you can watch it now only online (payable). |

From today on Keez has to stay some days in
hospital for an operation at his left shoulder, which means no rehearsals
for a couple of weeks :-( . Anyway good luck Keez ! |

Last Saturday we played for the 3th time in
JH De Doze in Veurne, and just like the two previous times, it was great fun
playing there. We played a couple of new songs, of which one has to
be rehearsed a little bit more :-), but generally we were very
satisfied with the good concert. And by the way, these Fuckshovels from
the UK were very nice lads ! |

The year 2014 started well. Together with over
120 other songs we were nominated with our 'Rit'n-song for De Gouden
Gerrit, a contest for the best Flemish sung ever. We finally ended up 16th
! |
