update (04th sept. 2010)

ok, from now on i will try to keep this news-section more regularly updated. I might be changing the page to a wordpress or blog, as this would make things easier.

Also i was thinking about setting up a facebook account, but i am not really sure, if i should follow or refuse this last trend...somehow it might be necessary to keep the label+mailorder running, but i get the feeling this whole web 2.0 kills the punkscene/-spirit in the same way as it helps it. I still don't know...we will see.

--------------------------------

Now some news:

We had a great tour in Mexico and the USA with FINISTERRE and there are so many people we would like to thank (especially Diego, Dan, Will  Luis). The LP & CD are out now for some time, and i am luckily surprised how good it actually goes. There had been amazing reviews, which you can read at the bands myspace. Next shows will be in two weeks together with our frineds of ZOSCH! and then later a weekend with PROTESTANT. There will be also another tour in december/january, which will be going to switzerland / france.

--------------------------------

the SANDCREEK MASSACRE / BOREDOM - split EP is almost out. I guess it will be ready next week. We are still waiting for the covers to arrive from the printing company. SCM had some lineup changes and Boredom will play some shows in spetember and october. Check the dates at their website: http://boredomoverall.blogsport.de/

We have a new squat here in my city (cologne) now for more than 4 month. Four month is actually a really impressivly long time for new squats in this area, as most attempts to squat new places have been ended by the cops after 1-2 weeks. Of course it's not always easy to handle an open-space - especially with this size (aprrox. 20-25 rooms on 1500 square-meters) - but it absolutly great to have a self-managed space for political actions as well as for DIY-Parties / Gigs. Here's the website of the squat: http://unsersquat.blogsport.eu/
