31/12/2017 Our last gig of the year took already place on 18/11, with big names such as Belgian Asociality, The Kids, Funeral Dress and Anti-Nowhere League. This was really a great evening ! The week after I had a planned surgery in the hospital of which I'm still recovering a bit now.
17/11/2017 Hey, this was what you call a punkgig, last Sunday in Laarne we felt like 17 again, nice place, a very good sphere, a good sound thanx to the good P.A., a wide range of beers, a bunch of old mates, the wife who accompanied me again to a gig after 12 years, thanx Pascal you invited us to play at your anniversary gig !
11/11/2017 Last Saturday we drove to La Louvière for a gig with the Brussels based band Mista Limpio. It's always fun playin' in the Walloonish part of Belgium, also this time there were no other than nice people, but sad to say the audience was rather small. Nevertheless we played a good gig and for the first time ever we could drink Rodenbach so far from home :).
03/11/2017 The gig on 31/10 was definitely well done. The legendary Belgian punkband and local punkheroes Definitivos invited us in their hometown Kortrijk to play a gig together for the occasion of the release of their new single. Thanx guys for the hot and steamy night !
15/10/2017 Last week we played in Ninove on the 3rd edition of the very well organised Festivark, good sphere, great people, great bands, and certainly to mention an amazing but definitely last gig of WR3 (but never say never :).
24/09/2017 It was a busy September, with on 09/09 another great edition of our own small free festival Rock@Schuiferskapelle. Locals Rule of Thumb opened the evening, followed by ourselves and then a bunch of great tribute-bands: Clash, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Status Quo and the Who, the latter band maybe even the best band we ever received in Schuiferskapelle. Up to next year !
29/08/2017 I didn't have the time yet to write about it, but in the months July and August we opened during 5 Sundays a popup-bar at my place. Last Sunday was already the last time. Thanx to all you friends, family, neighbours, people from the village, strangers, ... to pay us a visit. We liked it so much that there's a big chance next year we'll do it all over again. Beer on Sunday !
26/08/2017 Hey, this was a good one, on 19/08 we played in a great pub in Denderleeuw, and as far as we can remember we had the time of our life after we played a topgig :).
09/08/2017 On 29/07 we played in Eernegem with a great tributeband of The Stranglers. Straighten out is a British tributeband that plays songs from the first three Stranglers-albums, I really liked 'em but they sadly had to play before a small audience. Nevermind, a gig is a gig is at least our motto and we from our side played a great one.
21/07/2017 On 08/07 we played for the first time ever on the Tieltse Feesten, the yearly festivities of our hometown. This was fun, we literally played for an audience with an age between 0 and 100, the "band" before us was an accordion duo accompanied by a "drummer", and the "band" after us was De Vlaamse Zanger, a guy alone who sang schlagers on a backing track. We received a lot of compliments, really I mean it, and we liked it :).
10/06/2017 Hey, this is the way we like it, play a gig in a little pub on our own gear, which means everything in control for the gig ... and loosin' control after the gig :). Good gig there last week in De Grot in Oostrozebeke.
27/05/2017 The next gig in our 35th Anniversary Tour took place in this nice little club JK Roesj in Dilbeek. There were not that much visitors but we had a very enjoyable evening where we met some nice people. Also nice to see: in the band Altered State played an ex-member of our punkfriends of the late R.A.T.S.
13/05/2017 What a beautiful day to remember, our 35th Anniversary Gig on 06/05 was a real blast ! A full house of punx enjoyed great gigs of 164 Speedpunk, The Sillycons, Mise en Scene, ourselves, Lunatic Society, Capital Scum, and Belgian Asociality. A big thanx to the great audience and the great bands ! And before we forget: the most heard comment till now on our new album THE PAST IS BACK is "the best album you've ever made".
31/04/2017 Hey, always fun playin' in Brussels, even on a Thursday, which is what we did on 27/04 in Café Central at the Indoor Pispotfest. The place became crowded when it was about our time to play, so this turned out to be good.
31/03/2017 Today the mastering of our new album is finalized, as well as the final layout for the booklet. All files were sent to the cd-company and we expect to receive our copies of THE PAST IS BACK within 2 or 3 weeks now !
30/03/2017 December and January were reserved to rehearse the songs of our new album, which we recorded in February. Last Saturday we finally could play our first gig of the new year. This was on the Oilsjt Omploft-festival in Aalst, with a mix of hardcore and trashmetalbands, and big names like Conflict (GBR) and Tankard (DEU). The place was completely sold out, so we played our punksongs for a full house in a very decent set which was very well appreciated by the audience !
