pooping bird: Often moved about within a context of reason

Well hello there!

Time to get out of our wintersleep, don't you think? You may have noticed that we don't have a lot of
shows coming up for the moment. Well don't you worry: we're still alive and kicking.

We're working on different projects at the moment. Me and Dimi are playing in a band called Cobalt. At the moment we're recording our first demo. You can already check us out here or here.

In the meantime, Noon is trying to keep herself busy building a website for pooping bird. which is a lot more difficult than we thought it would be. So, bear with us.

And apart from the above, Noon and I are preparing for the Burnout festival, which is a gigantic project for school. I'm the head of production, and with only 3 weeks before the festival, I have my hands full with placing orders, making last minute decisions and whatnot. 

We also have kind of (well, actually really) exciting news! We've decided that we want to expand our thingy a bit by starting a booking and management agency. (I don't like the word "agency". I'm sorry for using it. It implies that it's all about business and money. That's not our purpose. So, let's just call it a collective. Sounds more friendly that way)

We're so lucky that the Antwerp based band Cat Claw (ex-Calicifer) have enough faith in us
that they want to work with us. So, yay!
They're  rehearsing in Kavka as we speak, because they're going to record their first demo tomorrow.
As we said: Exciting times are ahead of us.

Our last event was a massive succes, and I'd like to think it's because of the collaboration with the lovely people of cultusonline. We did a stonerrock special for the unlucky ones without a ticket to the Roadburn festival that same weekend. Mars Red Sky, who played Roadburn that weekend, were more than willing to play our gig in Kavka and so were Radar Men From The Moon, Cat Claw and Cobalt. It's been a while since we had so much fun and a bill full of exiting bands. Thanks again for everyone who spent the night with us!

Our next series of concerts and events will start this summer. I'm looking forward to it, and so is the rest of our team. Keep an eye on our website, facebook and twitter if you want to stay up to date.

See you soon! 

All is going well in Cobalt land

It's been a while since I've posted something on this blog, and I'm proud to say that it's been going great in the meantime. As you know, we've sort of pre-released our first demo a little while ago and even when it's (still) not mixed and mastered yet, it has already opened some small doors. We're not playing Glastonbury yet but hey, it's a start.

 Even when we're still in the making of our final song of that first demo (read: our singer can't decide wheter he's gonna grunt or squeak), we've won some free studio time at the Pianofabriek! If we work quikly enough, we can even record a song or 3! This friday is our first recording day, so wish us luck.

Apart from that, we've got some nice gigs coming up, so feel free to come check us out:

• 29th of March: Bal Masqué at Scheld'apen (Antwerp)
• 13th of April: An evening full of stonerrock at Kavka, with Mars Red Sky and Radar Men From The Moon 
• 3rd of May: housebands night in Kavka with Willow as support 

 There is even more to come, but I'm afraid I can't make that public yet.. Just sit tight for a little, and before you know: BAAAMM! Oh, well, just a teaser: there are some booking agencies interested already! I'm hoping not to jinx it by saying this, but we're having our fingers crossed. Hopefully someday soon we will be playing all of the nice venues in town, with the help of a motivated booker.
