[October 2007] Happiness and sadness in one month....


First. the recordings of Seiphian:) they went great and the band is very happy with the results. You can hear a song in the band section and of course on my and the bands Myspace.

The week after we we're busy with the final preparations for our first gig. Then on the Friday before the gig our rehearsal room burned down completely. With the amps of Fon, Niels and Nico and my drum kit at the scene.
So on the Saturday we worked hard to get our gear complete so we can go to Belgium, which we did. Luckily my new drum-kit will be made as i'm typing this and in about 6 months I have my new set complete:) Ooh the gig in Gent went down pretty good:)

Than our gig at Staddijk in the "hometown" of Seiphian. Well We never, never never could have imagine this! What a crowd, what a feeling and what a response. Just thank you guys for being there! It's was strange to see 60 people head banging in front of you:)

For Seiphian, we are now planning some new dates. The first one at the moment will be January 5th at De Box in Boxmeer, Hope to see some of you again.

By this way I would like to thank, once again:
Jac Bogers, for helping me out on such short notice with a new drum kit
Asthenia and Severe Sin for helping is out by lending Seiphian their amps!

Thnx, you guys Rule

Cheers Joop


[September 2007] Back to some old days!

Hear ye, Z Custom cymbals are gone...

Yeah... I'm starting to go back to my Avedis crashes. Instead of two 17" and two 18" crashes of the Z Custom series of Zildjian I have now one 16" Avedis and one 18" Avedis crash. I still need another 18" and a 17" crash to complete my cymbal setting. I also bought I new China. An Avedis Low China 18". At least for my Seiphian kit that is. Speaking about Seiphian...

We have our Seiphian.com domain. Thnx to Nico (our bassist). At the moment you can find only a biography on the site. But in time we will launch a complete website (like dûh). Ow the recordings are now planned for October 6th!!

And here is the flyer of Kingfest!! Headliner Elleanore has been replaced by Context.
