MUSICIAN NEWS MAY 2010 The new Plastered CD is finally finished after years of procrastination. It's called "RIP" and contains 4 instrumentals and one vocal track ( Michel Gambini, vocalist from Retturn. and Seita. vomits his lungs out of his throat). It was recorded at the now non existent "Tapeless Studio" in Amsterdam, further recordings and mixing done at my own "Studio 5". Let the record label search commence! Here's a SNIPPET to whet the appetite. Blisters. have reformed! So far we have played a couple of gigs and have somehow managed to record a CD's worth of material at "Solid Ground Audio". It's like we've never been apart. The chemistry is still boiling it's way through skin, steel and wood. I'll be mixing it at my place. There's a couple of movie clips on youtube from da gig in Volta a couple of months ago... And here's some photos from the recording session. 
Quite a few friends dropped by to get drunk and embarass themselves. 
Back Stabbath played at a DNK evening held at OCCI., Amsterdam. Our mainman Leon was unfortunately in London at the time so Igor Beans came off the substitute bench and with a no input mixer managed to dribble all over the table. OCTOBER 08 The small tour of Germany went more or less according to ze plan. Most interesting venue must have been the FFUS wagon
in Stuttgart. This was an old train coach that we literally shook with noise so it felt like it was back on the train tracks and
running out of control with drunk driver and no brakes!
The gig at Silke Arp-Bricht , Hannover was filmed...
still waiting for a copy. It was great to play opposite the reptilian splendour of Evil Moisture.
Fuckin' Bastards also played. They were, like
always.... absolute fucking bastards. There were a couple of loudness complaints from neighbours to Salon
Bruit in Berlin. This was during our special "quiet" set that we had rehearsed in
order to fit in with the strict loudness policy that they have to apply. Oh well.... we really did try to keep it down, guys! The best gig we played was in Wallywood Gallery
, Berlin. This was swiftly followed by a TERRIBLE gig in Namur, Belgium. My electronics refused to function and it left Boban
and Leon to slowly drown in confusion.. Ouch! While in Berlin we recorded some tracks at Headcleaner
studio by my pal Basti. There appears to be an album's worth of truly hideous torture in the can.

JANUARY 08 Last year was taken up mostly with producing records for other people. This left little time for my own projects.
However, we did manage some gigs:including a couple in Rotterdam Did a show for the Auxxx night in Amsterdam Also played on the culture ship So...Ladies and Gentlemen..prepare yourselves for 3 clips from Take this ...
Want more? Then take this ...
Had enough? Well..take this ...
FEBRUARY 07 Just back from a small but intense tour of Catalunya. I went first with my friend
We will never forget the first concert in Barcelona with a front row public that started crawling around on the floor on
top of each other during our performance. It sure felt like the right response at the time! Main organizer for all this was Sam Roig from Big help also came from Kike (check out his band
The Manresa based band Big bear hugs to: Sam, Sabina, Kike, Dimoni, Arnau, Pau, Dani Venezuela, David, Marga, Juan Palau and the guy
who said he was offended with our show and that i smelt bad! AUGUST 06 Harakiri sisters were
invited to play at the Exit Music
Festival in Novi Sad, Serbia.
It turned out to be a fantastic experience for us...it's a 4 day long
festival held on the grounds of a huge medieval castle. There were something
like 10 stages going on simultaneously. We played on day 2 and it went
well. We'd spent the 3 previous days and nights writing the one long
song that for some reason seemed to be a good idea at the time. It did
mean however that i'd work on the track until falling asleep, then Junko
would take over...then she would sleep..and i would carry on. We seemed
to pull it off, though! Highlights of the festival were a manic gig from Harakiri sisters kiss the feet of the people who made this possible
for us: Boban, Biljana, Tamara, Maia, Papun, Mamun.
Harakiri sisters suck the toes of our new friends: Marko, Nina, Pedja,
Zexon, Chomi's giant brother and so many others..all with wierd names
that we'll never remember!
Played a solo gig in JUNE 06 Harakiri
sisters are busy writing material
for the forthcoming album. We seem to drift together every few weeks
and work for a couple of days, then go off and play with other groups.
A self imposed deadline was necessary! We plan to have the album finished
by this autumn. We played a couple of gigs in Amsterdam: Club
Tokyo, Winston Kingdom and Subacultcha,
Bitterzoet. FEBRUARY 06 Plastered
are back from a 15-Date tour of Belgium, France and
Spain...
here's a little something for the organizers and fans: Prize
for the most interesting venue must go to "La
ferme Lambarre" outside St. Palais. We played during
their regular full moon party. The
30 minute drive from St Palais to Lambarre took us deep into Basque
Country...and with our mysterious host Lutxo
leading the way, we were convinced that we had got into a "Blair
witch / Texas chainsaw massacre" situation! Plastered
are currently working on a new album, hopefully to be released before
the end of 2006. |

Best
stage was in Tubize: we performed in a
barn with candles for light, surrounded by manikins and an invisible
public!
