30 dec 2007• Friends Another year draws to an end and it’s a time for reflection of events that have passed and a time to look forward to adventures that are awaiting in the new year. For “The Bent Moustache”, 2007 was a pretty exciting year. There was the release of the debut CD “Forst” (on the Amsterdam based “Transformed Dreams” label), which was met with favourable reviews. We toured the USA for 8 weeks as openers to legendary indie heroes “Sebadoh”. We did a VPRO “3 Voor 12″ session. There were gigs played in London and Holland, and culminating at the State-X festival in Den Haag. And there were various line-up changes, but I’m glad to report that we have a stable band line-up now which has brought new energy and fresh and exciting ideas to the band. Welcome Nora, Maaike and Gijs. 2008 promises to shower us with goodies galore….we start by playing at the wonderful Merleyn in Nijmegen, and then embark on a 2 week tour of Italy and Britain at the end of January / start of February (check “Shows”). As well as 8 shows in a row in the UK, we have been asked to record 3 radio sessions (Resonance, Salford City Radio, XFM). Good times! We will also do a tour of Holland in late May with the wonderful “Shrug” (www.myspace.com/robshrug). And there will be a new record out by us before the end of the year. Our cup overfloweth with goodness and we wish you all a very happy and healthy 2008. Peace out |

| Happy Newyear A very happy new year to you all. Many thanks for taking the time to check-in with our little band.Did you get any good presents for Chrimble? I got these ace KRK V6 monitors for my/our studio. Sounding sweet! I’m sitting in the studio with a wee bit of downtime, as we are in the process of mixing our debut album!!! So far so good. We have recorded 11 songs, all bursting with juicy bits and pleasing to behold. The “Distressor” is purring and the tape echo unit has chugged into life. It will officially be out in Europa on 7 May, and we will, off course, be selling the said record on our next tour. “And when is your next tour?” I hear you all cry……… Well, we are accompanying the succulent “Sebadoh” through the United States of America and Canada! The tour take place between 26 February to 16 April (check the full tourdates on the “Shows” page). We’ve still got to come up with a title for the album and a sleeve. Any ideas? Send them to us. I hope this is the start of a fab year of making, playing and listening to music. I hope you will have listening pleasure too. |
