it was 1986 and my best friend sister had a relationship going on with the drummer of the SWAMPSURFERS! thats how i ended up in the whole punk thing.
me and mo started a band called CRISIS OF SOCIETY, we could not play but the ideas where there!
we lived in the south of holland so in no time we played in germany and belgium.
living in the south of holland had its problems too, all the bands we liked came from up north, BGK,THE EX,LARM,NEUROOT,INDIRECT enz, exept for PANDEMONIUM but they broke up around this time
so we had our scene where a lot of stuf happend.
after six years the band broke up, i played for a while in FEEDING THE FIRE too.
than we started a new band called BOREHOLE, the music was more like the MELVINS,KYUSS AND TOOL. with this band came a whole other adittude, more commercial in a way. after some time the others did not wanted to do squat party's anymore and were asking for more money.
in the end i got kicked out/ quit this band.with some friends we starded STERF a more punkrock kinda band, this was fun and we played a lot in holland and poland.
2002 i formed a other band, more serious.with DISLEKD we did a lot of gigs and two tours until this machine grinded to a hold after eight months.
short after a band called RADIO BIKINI was in need of a drummer so i joined them, they where allready well known in the dutch punk/crust scene, short after i organised a tour and off we went,germany,poland and swiss.
we recorded 12 songs to release in the near future, first was the MAKILADORAS/ /RADIO BIKINI ep .
that year we did loads of shows in holland, june 2004 we went on tour for a month a-cross europe.in march of 2005 we did a small schotland tour.
in september i quit RADIO BIKINI for some good reasons, our last split ep with XAMORX came out.now i still play in SCATLOVER kinda sick 70ties punk band, but starting a new band soon.in all these years a saw a lot of studio's and never was i 100% happy with recordings, due of time or money. so i decide to do it myself
i have a 16 track analog recording studio now but i'm still learning and i will put some tracks on later.
the other problem with bands is transport, i allways had a small van to get my bands on the road, and other bands too.
now i have a old berlin dubbeldekker where i drive band around with, we did a tour with RADIO BIKINI,STROM and HERETIX witch was great.
i think going on tour is the best way to meet cool people and places, that the reason i do a lot for them to if bands want to play in holland, i did stuff for BARACKCA,INERDZIA,WARDEAD,AFTERBIRTH,FETCH,POUNDAFLESH,LAFRA
CTION,CHICKENSCALL,MOLOTOVCOCKTAIL to name a few.
