Hey you punkrock lovin' mofo's, welcome to the Kickass Summer Newsletter. Juicy tourstories, embarrassing facts from our youth, quotes of 2007 and some real news. Let's get it on.
Releases
Due to baths and fuckups, Live Fast Die! : Part Deux was not available at Kickass Fest. Which sucked. But it's here now and man, it rules! I won't repeat the playlist, but you can rest assured, it still contains 29 awesome hardcoreskapunkrockandroll anthems. Punk-O-Rama is long dead, long live Live Fast Die!
Speaking of delayed releases, due to a broken down camper, the Drunktank EP didn't make it to Kickass Fest either and neither did the band. It sucks, we know, but the EP has also landed at Kickass HQ. Get it NOW!
Pick On The Fat Kid Discography has more people siked than we could imagine, but everyone should have a bit more patience. This thing is still in the planning stages, so don't expect a release date set in stone.
The awesome free "This is (Kickass Records) Punkrock - 2007 Sampler" cd is completely gone, faulty playlist included. But we'll be doing a reprint next month on new colors, with a new song and with 10% less fuckups. For the collectors of the first print out there:
20 were printed on orange, 20 on green and 9 on babyblue.
Kickass HQ
It has been a busy month at Kickass HQ. Cancellations, power shortages and assholes galore at Kickass Fest, Durai tour wreaking havoc on Petit's body, printing mishaps, spagethio's fuckin' up freezers, bbq's, Tom smoking cigars, planning an E314 exit 22 chainsaw massacre and giving interviews to bigshot poets have taken all our time.
As supreme punkrock beings, we also have some demands for all of you puny punkrock fans. First off, when going to shows, go watch all the bands, even if it is for only 5 minutes, instead of "chillin" outside. Secondly, listen more to Descendents and Propagandhi. And finally, buy Live Fast Die! : Part Deux, the Drunktank EP and the Hangin' Out full from our distro NOW!
Now, gossip time. It appears Pie used to have a britney spears poster in his room. He later had a Kournikova poster, but didn't know squat about tennis. I'm guessing the first poster was still about the music, but the second one was laminated. Also, according to his mom, he hasn't changed in 20 years. He still wears the same style of oversized shorts and his baseball cap backwards. We are still trying to get our hands on photographic evidence.
Durai tour across France was awesome, but let me tell you this, the french payage is a financial ass raping and you travel just as easy/fast if you take the regional roads. Just takes a bit more mapreading. We will start planning the 2008 summer tour in January, so if you want the awesome Durai to play your town, get in touch!
And last but not least, a small sample of quotes that passed by in the first half of 2007. For non-dutch speaking people, bummer.
- There is no rape like date rape - Petit
- Dude, ik ga ne osschot chainsaw massacre doen as die ni afkomt - Pie
- Duim in mijn poep - Stijn Second Base
- Ik kan nie dood, ik ben nen elf - Pie
- Woopwoopwoopwoop - Gans kickass
