Zoals jullie inmiddels vast allemaal weten verlaat Stok Bandito. Om nog één keer te laten zien wat hij allemaal met twee stokken kan (ja, creatieve gedachten toegestaan) organiseren wij op 4 februari in de Plu een lijp vet afscheidsfeest met The Bips. Details hieronder! Wij zouden het enorm waarderen als je komt, met al je vrienden, vriendinnen, collega’s, ouders, opa’s, oma’s en vage kennissen (bepaalde huisdieren niet toegestaan) om Stok een waardig afscheid te geven, maar ook om gewoon keihard te feesten tot je bol knapt. Tot dan! (Of eerder!)

As you all might know by now, Stok is leaving Bandito. Because he would love to show you all one more time what he can do with two sticks (yes, you can let your imagination run wild on this one), we will throw a lijp vette farewell party on the 4th of february in the Plu with The Bips. Details below! We would really appreciate it if you could come, along with all your friends, colleagues, parents, grandparents and plain ol’ associates (certain types of pets not allowed) to give Stok a worthy farewell, but also to just party your ass of like there’s no tomorrow. See you then! (Or sooner!)

Date: February 4th

Doors: 21:00

Location (Map):

Plu

Van Oldenbarneveltstraat 63A

So we did a couple of weekend shows in Germany, Belgium and France where we made a lot of footage. All that footage combined, made this one video, for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks to anyone who came to our shows and we hope to see you next time.

Stok, de drummer van Bandito, heeft na wikken en wegen besloten om te stoppen met Bandito. Een jaar nadat de bassist en de gitarist succesvol zijn vervangen, wordt nu ook ruimte gemaakt voor een nieuwe slagwerker.

Stok geeft aan dat hij de komende optredens tot in januari nog wil volmaken, dat betekent dus flink wat weekenden met de hele band in de bus door Duitsland, Frankrijk en Belgie crossen. Het voorlopig laatste optreden met Stok zal 7 januari in Splotsz te Roelofsarendveen zijn, met de brute instrumentalisten van Tank 86.

Just a little promotional update:

We have compiled a package for all you reviewing, booking, rocking or otherwise Bandito-enthusiastic people out there. The Press Kit contains a high res logo, our biography and two free songs from our latest EP II. We made two versions: one Dutch version and one English version and you can find them in our press section.

Have fun with it, share it and above all: let those reviews come!

What an awesome review of our two EP’s we found today. Spot on all the time (yes, also about trent).

“For this week’s ‘EP Shakedown’ I’m going to double up with a pair of EPs released by Bandito, aptly titled Bandito I and Bandito II (or just I and II but I like having the name there). You can download their most recent EP from their website, or get their entire discography (these two EPs and a single) from their BandCamp page. So snag some free music, give it a listen and read on.“

Eind oktober vorig jaar gaf Karma to Burn een weer-ga-loos optreden in De Bastille! En het goeie nieuws is: deze legendarische band komt gewoon nog een keer! Dit keer om hun nieuwste plaat V te promoten, vers van de pers.

Karma To Burn wordt vaak omschreven als stonerrock, of desert rock, of hard rock. Maar wat zeggen die kwalificaties eigenlijk over een band die hun muziek zo tot op het bot uitkleedt, volledig ontdoet van tierelantijntjes en onnodige complexiteiten. De kern is drums, gitaar en bas. Meer heeft deze band niet nodig. Simpel, intens, maar zooo lekker! Dus noem het wat je wil, stop het in een hokje, hoofdknikken doe je toch heel de avond.

Support-act vanavond is Bandito uit Nijmegen. Hardrock van de bovenste plank met scheurende dubbelloops gitaren, solo’s en ruige, schorre vocalen. Bandito is Italiaans voor verbannen, maar De Bastille verwelkomt ze met open armen! We konden ons geen betere opener voorstellen.

Kaarten zijn online te bestellen via:
http://ikdoe.nl/activities/429956:Karma%20To%20Burn

Let op: er worden slechts 150 tickets verkocht, dus wees er snel bij!

Wanneer?
Vrijdag 15 juli

Hoeveel?
10 euro

Waar?
De Bastille, Spoorstraat 11, Schoonhoven

As of right now, all of the tracks on our new EP II are available as free downloads! You can get them all on our bandcamp page. Please email, torrent, copy and upload them whenever and where-ever you feel the need to do so.

The EP is still available on shiny red vinyl with amazing artwork, ofcourse, so if you would like some decoration for your wall or just plainly prefer the oldschool sound of nice crackling goodness, come pick one up at one of our upcoming shows or contact us for more info.

So, what have we been up to lately? Well, last weekend we spent an evening in Haarlem rocking with Muhr (NL) and Dead Dove District (NL) at the Patronaat Café, which, it turns out, is a very good place to play. Joshua, the guy that booked us there, proved to be not only a good host, but also one heck of a poet. The weekend before that, we went down under in Limburg, the Texas of Holland. On Friday we were very welcome in Maastricht to play at Cafe Rambler (pictures of us are here) with The Swains (NL). Then, after crashing in a huge old factory hall without Deville and Iguana, we went to Heerlen to play with Alcohsonic (FR), Black Heat Shujaa (FR) and Iguana (DE). All amazing bands so check ‘m out (also, chèck die powstuhrr). Afterwards, Jerome was nice enough to let us crash in his apartment. Seriously, the guy has like twelvethousandtwohundresandfiftyseven dvd’s and at least as many cd’s so be good to him. (ENNE?)

In the next few weeks we will be playing in our hometown of Nijmegen as well as in Landgraaf and Barlo (not Baarlo) and we plan to have at least one new song for all of you, so be sure to come! We’ll finish this stretch of gigs with a gig supporting the kings of Karma to Burn at Schoonhoven on the 15th of July.

You’ll hear more from us very soon!
