There will be an update regarding our tour in february/march 2012 soonish.

Good news:
Our new LP “World bores to death” arrived just in time before tourstart. We are very glad that everything worked out so well. Thx to everyone involved in this, and thanks to Honza from Gattaca/Remek for picking up the records for us and thereby saving us money. Some songs are on bandcamp already..we´ll put all songs online soon.

In a week we´re going on tour again with our lovely Dutch friends Sand Creek Massacre. We are all super excited, especially because most of us have never been to Scandinavia before. However, we´d still need help with two dates. Check out the “Shows” section for details.
Some shows are planned for autumn as well as a short tour at the end of October. Further details about that will be announced soon as well. See ya!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
]]>Morning! It’s already 3 pm, fuck! However, we just got the premaster version of our first upcoming full length album ‚World Bores To Death‘. All the eleven songs have been recorded, except for the vocals, in December 2010 at s.t.r.e.s.s studio in Puntigam, Graz by our friend Nickl again. The vocals again were recorded by ourselves in our basemant practice room in April 2011, right before we left for the South-Eastern European tour. The mix and master job this time is done by Rec-O-Rob (Robin Völkert) in Münster, Northern Germany. Thanks to Nickl and Robin for doing a great job once more. We just uploaded two songs to get an impression what it will sound like:
The lyrics can be found in the, oh suprise, lyrics section. The record should be out in the summer, at the latest before we‘re leaving for the Scandinavia tour in August. The artwork should be finished within the next weeks and the whole thing should be in the pressing plant in the mid of June. Some things never change, so we still didn‘t become friends with the idea of working a lot to get a fucking wage, but who does? Anyway, the expenses for releasing a LP are not that easy to handle for a small diy band. So if any boy or girl likes what we‘re doing and runs a label, or is able to help us to distribute it, just.. Really, we know what that means. Without you countless passionated individuals we wouldn‘t be able to start anything. Merci!
As shortly mentioned above, we toured South-Eastern Europe in April/May. The tour was great again. Starting in Croatia and Slovenia, meeting so many amazing friends again. Having a great time in Southern Italy, hanging out at self-organized farms and beeing spoiled with great Italian food, spending time at the seaside, waking up next to olive and orange plantations. From Italy we took the 16 hours over-night ferry to Patras, Greece and played our first show at the University there. The university is an awesome skate spot! Again we were welcomed really heartly and had a great time together with our long time buddies Despite Everything and a lot of other friends from Greece, also playing in several bands: Vodka Juniors, Sarabante etc. We really haven‘t meet each other for too long. For the show in Athens on the next day it’s hard for me to find words. It’s nights like this who really make me feel alive. Just crazy how many people showed up at Katarameno Syndromo and made the show to the best show this band has probably played so far. I hardly felt so comfortable at a punk rock show like in Athens. People dancing, partying, running zines and distros, sweating, communicating, just having fun together. Please check out what the guys have created with Katarameno Syndromo, it’s just amazing and something to aim for in every fucking city. We had an awesome time in Athens! We played three more shows in Greece. Larissa, Saloniki and Volos. All shows were great, so many amazing individuals and places. Thanks to Jack, Peio, Billy and Zaxos for making the whole Greece tour possible for us. Greece really rocks! After Greece we played one more show in Macedonia and one more in Timisoara, Romania again. Thanks to Marko and to the people involved in Atelier Diy in Timi. It’s a great place and collective! On the way to Romania we were going through Serbia again. Just when we passed Belgrade the Serbian cops of course stopped us again telling us we drove over a red traffic light and have to go to court on the next day in Belgrade. Sure, haha! Of course we didn‘t drove over a red traffic light. After explaining them for 20 minutes we definitely won‘t go to court and they should fuck off, it was „just“ 150-300 Euros fine, haha. In the end we drove off without paying anything. So fucking ridiculous. Sod you, stupid cops! The last show happend in Bratislava. We played Obluda for the second time. This time it was together with Tragedy, so as you can imagine, shitloads of Punks showed up again and made the night memorable for us again. Unfortunately the end of the tour wasn‘t that nice: getting our van towed in Vienna and paying 200 fucking euros to get it back again. Yo, welcome back in Austria and everything sucks ass again!
We‘re playing some single shows with Morne and Punch in June and July before we‘re touring Scandinavia in August. It’s the first time for all of us to go there and we‘re all excited about it. On the boat for this tour again: our buddies from Sand Creek Massacre, yes. Thanks for taking care of the shows, really can‘t wait for you guys again! Mikey played the bass on the last two tours and also will be playing the bass on the Scandinavia tour again. It’s great to have another friend in the Boredom boat! Thanks for travelling all the time between London and Graz!
So summer is coming again and it’s almost three years for this band. Our third record is about to be released and we visited already 18 coutries with this band so far. Don‘t know if I‘m just speaking for myself now or for all of us, but I really wouldn‘t know what else I would do if i wasn‘t able to play music, constantly travel around, meeting friends and new places. It makes me smile and feel alive and it really wouldn‘t be possible for us without the help of all of you amazing people. To finish the entry with a quote from the Despite Everything blog: „You mean the world to us.“ Cheers and see you!

]]>Maybe just because of all those facts, we‘re going to enter the studio tonight again. We‘re going to record our first full-length album which will be called „World bores to death“ with our friend Nickl Gruber. He already recorded our demo together with us in our basement practice room last year and I can‘t wait to spend nights full of trying new sounds, drinking beer and recording songs again. We already have finished 10 new songs for the album. Next week we‘re going to play in Slovenia together with our good friends from Leechfeast at their tape release show and the day after we‘re going to playing in our hometown again. It’s the release of our split 12inch with Rivers Run Dry, so they are playing too. Leechfeast are also play again and also our friends Scraiste from Vienna are joining us for the show. Yes. That sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks so much to the Rivers Run Dry dudes for taking good care of getting the 12inch released. Thanks to Luis Sendón, our friend from A Coruña, who did an amazing artwork for this split too. Thanks to all the nice people participating in diy labels and who helped us to collect the money again. Without all your help we really would be fucked. So this is what the split looks like:


It features four songs of us and three of Rivers Run Dry. It’s released by Dzsukhell Records from Budapest, Halvfabrikat Records from Sweden, Panda Panda Records from Ljubljana, Dream Comes True Records from France, Ita! Ita! Records from Hungary and Car(a)mba Records from Poland.
So at this point I also really want to thank the people from Trieste and apologize once more for us being so fucking wasted, trying to destroy the whole city on our way home and due to that fact possibly really exhausting to them too. Thanks for all your patience, you‘re awesome. Best food ever and we fucking love motorcycle poses! Thanks to Pianoearthquake. Thanks to all the people who set up shows in September and October too. We spent beautiful weekends together with Alpinist and the Holy Mountain in Croatia, Hungary and Austria. You‘re awesome too and so are those both bands and you all know it anyway.
I also updated the blog site a bit. The biography section is new and I added a link section too. We made a bandcamp site too. You can find the link to it in the discography section. It’s easier to listen to songs there. We‘re touring in the beginning of January together with Sand Creek Massacre again. Fucking hell! The plan is not to die in one of all the squats…falling asleep fucking wasted and being amused nearly to death. That can be dangerous. You never know. Anyway, this time it’s Praha, Berlin, Hamburg, Emmen, Amsterdam, Köln, Mainz and Erlangen. Vera will not be able to play the bass on this tour, so our friend Mikey from England will join us on the bass. After that the next tour will happen in April/May. We already started to book the dates. You can look them up in the shows section. It’s Italy, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Romania, the Ukraine and Hungary and again we would welcome any help of people setting up shows in these areas. Thanks. On the 1st of May we will possibly have a day-off in Greece. This is what our Greek friends told us about it in advance:“Don’t‘ be scared, be prepared:“ Haha. I‘m excited about that and still try to follow as good as possible what’s going on there since the shooting of Alexi by that fucking police asshole two years ago. The situation there just can be something we should really aim for in all the fucking nation states all over fucking Europe. Those guys are strong-willed, they really want to see everything collapsing and they want to create something new after the total collapse, something better, something different, something which is not so much end-of-the pier and bullshit. Admirable and also something to be jealous about! And still, it just depends on us to create the same situation and that’s probably also the best solidarity act we can show them. The time has come. But that’s not the topic now. The entry is already too long to read just the half of it again. However, the next summer seems to be far away at the moment but will hopefully bring us through Scandinavia, the Baltic states and Poland, at least that’s the plan. The new album should be out then too. I will post the tour poster for the upcoming tour with Sand Creek Massacre in January here later too. It really seems like it’s high time to escape this fucking cold reality again. I can‘t wait, I‘m almost looking as much forward to tour again as I probably enjoyed the feeling I got when I was on my first punk shows as a young teenager. Let’s have some fun again, let’s have some joy and leave all the shit behind us! That’s what the Holy Mountain told me:“ This life is all we have. This life, this fate. Here is no exit! Defeat means death. Here is no fucking exit!“ Haha. Cheers buddies!

]]>

This beautiful piece of artwork is done by Kaska Niemiro (behance.net/dogstailart) and the pressing includes 524 pieces on black vinyl. Don‘t ask me why it’s exactly 524 fucking pieces. Anyway, it’s released by Contraszt Records from Germany, Dzsukhell Records from Hungary, Halvfabrikat Records from Sweden and Panda Panda Records from Slovenia. Thanks so much for supporting a bunch of losers and helping us to collect all the fucking money which was necessary to make this happen. Cheers to Philipp, Danne, the Rivers Run Dry dudes, Luka, Tjea and the Melete guys. Thanks to Kaska who really had to suffer a lot because of me being a fucking slob and lazy in answering messages, but really good in forgetting things and sending wrong infos. Despite all that, she did an amazingly beautiful artwork for us. Looking forward to hang out in Berlin with you and have some beers together. No thanks to the Dutch ‘turd’ named Sand Creek Massacre. The truth is: we‘re just releasing the split and touring together with you losers because we didn‘t find a better option, haha. Kusjes aan jou! Ganz geil alles!
We‘re finishing everything for the upcoming split 12 inch with Rivers Run Dry now and still would welcome the help of a label for distributing the records and making the money issue easier for us work-shy fuckers. We also have finished enough songs for a full length album which we want to record in the winter time. We play some shows with Alpinist again in September and believe me they are worth to drop by on a show. We‘re also playing at Schrottbar Fest in Biel in the beginning of September, so it would be nice to see you somewhere around. More tours trough Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Turkey and the Balkans are planned for the beginning of the fucking year called 2011 in your ridiculous calculation of times. Yes!
Wow, it turned out as a pretty long entry. Not bad, so that should be enough for the next years and we can enjoy our own laziness to the fullest again. While writing this entry I‘m sitting in Laayoune which is part of the by Morocco occupied territory of Western Sahara and I just experience Ramadan and Islamic Culture. Even though both sucks big time the only things I really miss about this shiathole called Europe are way too loud punk shows, ice-cold beer and of course some of the people who make it worth to come back for some time. Can‘t wait to hit the road again and to get fucking wasted, stoned and to continue the war against everything that surrounds us and all the other clichéd things that are strongly connected to the idea of an average storybook punk rocker, haha. Talk to you here in the fucking year called 2013 in your ridiculous calculation of times again. Earliest 2013! Cheers!
