04/11/09 *autumn colours on the road to berlin* 22/10/09 *respect* The cultural party of our hometown Lo-Reninge asked us to explain to our fellow townsmen how we did it to reach what we have accomplished. Together with another local hero Johnny Clarysse we'll tell the crowd about how it feels to be a worldfamous musician. Of course this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and what an honour! We're sure we can learn a hell of a lot of Johnny Clarysse as he is a true demagogue! Watch his skills HERE! Respect. 20/10/09 *What a week!* After a tremendously depraved attack of an MBK Booster on our drummers white pony - single speed bike, we, full of adrenaline, played a splendid show at the depot in Leuven. Afterwards, while licking our wounds, especially lode, we got contacted by Marvel. Yes, the Marvel, mother of X-men, Spiderman, Batman, Superman and many more world-famous action heroes. They asked us if we were willing to give our characters to a brand new Marvel comic book called the TO-men. We were immediately completely into the idea, as you can probably imagine. We are at present curiously awaiting what our superpowers and of course also our personal costumes will be. What is the thing we are so scared off? That and many other questions to be answered with the release of the album, hopefully somewhere in December. Remember this is a limited edition version. Only 6 copies will be made. So that is one for every TO-man, and maybe one for you! Order your copy as swift as possible on tomanshop@hotmail.com. May the TO be with you! 12/10/09 *the real reason why belgian soccer does not improve* Since our labelboss Geert Mets from Zealrecords just got promoted within the Technical Committee of the KBVB, things seem to get a little easier for us.
