@bert_hubert Alleen bij voldoende likes gaat hij dicht.
Ik kan gelukkig aan het zout in mijn muren zien tot hoever het water in 1945 stond qua hoe hoog ik mijn meubels dan op blokken moet zetten.
Last Friday I saw 40 Watt Sun opening for Stygian Bough, and it seems to have come just in time, as it is the music really fitting in with my mood.
As a DIY band it's hard getting shows out there (and hard for us individually to find shows around us to visit). Bands In Town seems promising but isn't on the same level yet.
For Dutch shows there's now a new platform at https://calendar.askapunk.nl! Find shows you like and GO! The only way to make this work is when it's as complete as possible, so bands and promoters, make sure to add your shows there, DIY!
Go follow @shows and for those riding it, there's RSS fiets available 🚴♀️
Iedereen die dit kan lezen en geen actieve hekel aan punk en dergelijke herrie heeft moet @shows gaan volgen!
@ObsidianUrbex I do want to know the story behind this place. What is it?
These flags would be so useful in daily life when you're having one of those days and want to let people know.
'I am dragging my anchor.' 'I require a tug.' 'Stop carrying out your intentions.'
And my personal favourite 🚩: 'I am on fire; keep clear of me.'

Here's Third Ego: https://thirdego.bandcamp.com/album/third-ego (really love the artwork of this album)
and my band @Rites here: https://ritesritesrites.bandcamp.com/album/no-change-without-me
Last week @Rites got to play our first show of this year, playing with Third Ego and @antillectual
Was a very excellent evening and a good reason to pick up the camera once again!
So here's a little gallery with shots from Third Ego Antillectual

Thanks again to Minor Operations Bookings/Donations for having us over!
@ObsidianUrbex sharing here and pixelfed works for a few, but I'm used to sharing 20'ish photos per band, with option to them to download so they can use 'm for promotional stuff.
Any photographers out here care to share their two cents?
For years I've been photographing mostly small punk and hardcorebands and sharing the photos through Flickr galleries.
I wonder how other people "showcase" and share their photos?
I don't think I feel like creating and maintaining a website.
@zetthochdrei Oh! Been I while since I listened to some Idles!
Time to change that.
Hey Fediverse,
I've created a Fediverse Starter Pack for metal musicians and bands on metalhead.club:
If you're a metal fan: Don't miss to follow them! 🤘
(the pack will be updated as more and more bands agree to participate 😄 )
Next Thursday (29th) we'll be playing our first show of the year in Haarlem!
Together with @antillectual and Third Ego!
Free show! Come be angry at the state of this fucking world!

Last night got a message from my partner that Northern Light was visible even in Ghent, so gave it a quick look over in Middelburg and could see the faint glow even from my home with the streetlights on.

HAARLEM, Thursday January 29! Free show at Patronaat, with Third Ego and @Rites this will be memorable 🖤 🔥
5 years ago, on January 31, 2020, we played Patronaat and that would be the last pre-pandemic show and our last show with Toon. Just like the rest of the world we pretty much took a break from live shows for over 2 years. We returned to playing live in April 2022 at Shred Fest at Waalhalla in Nijmegen with Ben on bass.

@SteveClough I've seen their stall at Arctangent Festival, selling secondhand and new merch and having little chats with people.
