This is my MySpace, no wonder,
but this also means that this is my personal profile! So, I
am NOT accepting any friend request from people or bands that I don't know
personally already. If you think it is interesting enough for me to add you as a
friend, please send me a message first - otherwise I will most likely report you
as a spammer. Having said that, this personal page of mine is a bit of a
showcase of my interests, mostly concerning music and a bit of horror, art and
movies.
As this is a personal page, I'd like to keep this personal, and therefore this
is a list of my activities (both professional and on a more freewheeling basis):
Baroeg is a venue with a capacity of 350-400 people, celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2006. The venue is situated in Rotterdam / the Netherlands and specializes in all kinds of alternative music.
I work for this venue and have various tasks, from administration to (co)-organising events.
Brogum is a venue in my hometown for which I work as a booker and organiser of various events. This is also the venue that is responsible for the Anywave festival which is one of the longest running all-round festivals in Holland.
Timeless Wounds is a bookings agency, with this agency I'm booking gigs for bands like Houwitser, In Age And Sadness, Isole, Nominon, Officium Triste, Remains, Thanatos, The Monolith Deathcult etc.
The Dutch Doom Day festival is an annual festival solely dedicated to doom metal I organise every year in the Baroeg venue. This year the festival will be having its 7th edition. In the past we've had bands like Evoken, Reverend Bizarre, Pagan Altar, Forsaken, Mourning Beloveth, Saturnus etc.
quintessence is a webzine focussed on metal and extreme music in general, I write reviews for this magazine on a regular basis.
In the past I've been writing for Lords Of Metal (web), Vampire-Magazine (web), Zware Metalen (web) and Violence Magazine (printed), as well as helping out the now defunct zines Birkhoffblast and Shadows Of Disgust.
cultmetal.com is a website dedicated to collecting vinyl, I'm an active member and add pictures of items from my personal collection to this website every now and then.
