This Saturday we will bring the noise at LOWRIDERS!! This club night in Worm is right up our alley: nowhere else will you be able to hear this much bass, loudness, and filth. We’ll be going all out and so are SLUGABED, WARLOCK, COZRO, BEATNOLOGIC, SIMCOMMANDER and DJ-Y.
"We need some more girls in here" (great new track by the Boy Better Know crew)... So ladies, get there before midnight and get in for FREE!!!
How does that happen, you ask. Well.. it's easy. I was riding my bike, faking unintelligence (read: my mouth was hanging open). I didn't realize that I was doing this until something flew inside the hangar. While gathering spit to try and swallow it, I was thinking what kind of bug it could have been. It didn't have a massive body, It didn't sting me, I don't think it was furry, but it DID have a lot of paws. I could tell, 'cause I think the bug left some in my throat while the rest of it went down my gullet. The paws stayed in my throat until I ate something chunky: bread.
At home, the internet gave me some answers to the question 'but what did it look like'? Below, you can see some of the species you are most likely to swallow when you do as I did. They're quite hideous, especially up close..
As I write this, the bug is most likely digested. But the image of the insect being in my throat, struggling for it's life is stuck in my head. Therefor, I'm thinking about a Bug that I like. A real noisy one. One with a buzzing bass that a million flies could not produce.

Upon many requests we made our DEMO available for downloading! It's the ultimate selection of our favorite tracks (and of course the air horn), so you'll get a good impression of what you'll be getting into when you hire us. Are you ready to parteeeee?!? Thendownload it from our site here. Or you can have listen here...
All you Rotterdammers: if you happen to come across one of those piles of NL10-magazines this week, make sure to pick up a copy (it's free :-), ‘cause we’re in it! We made an ‘ode to Rotterdam’: a spread packed with lame jokes about local heroes, likes, dislikes, and of course the poliopigeon. If you don't live in Roffa, or you're just too lazy to pick up the physical thing, you can click on the image above to view it in all its glory.
Finally!!! Dutch Dolls cross something else besides that windy erasmusbridge; THE BORDER. We were asked to take part in an exhibition in Gartenstudio, Berlin, which opens next friday the 17th. I don't know who came up with the idea to make coffee the main subject, but that would be our favourite thing in the world!
As I mentioned before, my screenprinting-equipment is not taking me seriously. Or I should just consider a different career that does not involve screens and paint - jeeezzz. After some very necessary cursing and the impressive launch of a spoon, I managed to produce some good prints. Too bad we can't be there ourselves, but if you're in the neighbourhood, check out that cute studio in Kreuzberg. Which is only the coolest area of Berlin!
Of course, I can't resist posting Siw Malmqvistskrautclassic Wie Heiss Ist Der kaffee?
So today I wanted to write a review of the Micachu & The Shapes show at Buffalo Bar last Wednesday night. I had already missed them twice, so I was very happy my time had finally come. But when I arrived at the scene it turned out Micachu had CANCELED at the very last moment. What is wrong here?? Is this the story of my life? WTF??? I was so sad and disappointed I couldn’t be bothered with the other bands anymore (sorry other bands). Instead I ordered a WHISKEY SOUR at the bar, to match my mood...
I’m not going to post any songs by Micachu here. I can’t bear it. No, I’m giving you a song about WHISKEY and a song about SOUR. Cheers.
