This weekend was fantastic! We played a show in Panningen, and we made nice and cosy bandweekend out of it. The show was awesome, Cedric Snowstar organised a great punkfest, although the pancakes weren't that tasty. Cedric and GoApe! thanks for the cool night, the drinks and the backline!
Check out this photo of us with Cedric! And check out this photo of NIRC + crew!
Bart tried his Microkorg for the first time in a few songs, and it rocked. We'll integrate some more synths... And we improvised a pretty scary ending to Pleasant Thoughts, video coming soon!
Thanks to Arthur and Iris we drove safely all weekend, thanks to Lara we have some cool new bandphotos. Like the pic on the splashpage of nirc.nl. And four new portraits. Owow, we've grown old fast...

THIS FRIDAY NIRC IN CONCERT!

To the people! You might have heard about the awful plans mister Balkenende has with our national popculture. He wants to cut back on subsidies for Dutch musicians. NPI organises shows throughout the whole country on October 1 & 2. And we wouldn't be NIRC if we wouldn't participate right! F*ck Balkenende! :) We'll play in the Peppel, Zeist with Snatchin' Jenny and Carrera.

Date: Friday October 1
Place: de Peppel, Zeist
Time: 21.00 hours (we'll play first)
With: Carrera, Snatchin' Jenny

AUTUMN

We're back! But what's new? Not much. We're all busy doing our own stuff, no NIRC-ing going on.
Remco is busy with school and music and being a student and uhm, beer. And he and I are working on some new Stuck In A Day releases.
Abel just started a new study, something with computers, in Den Bosch, and he seems to be enjoying himself.
Bart's still working very hard at the supermarket, and his music-technology-courses just started. He and I are working on the Findel songs, it's almost finished and it rocks.
I just started (again) in my third year Digital Media Design, and I'm having fun. And I'm busy with SIAD and IS. And I'm playing with my new phone all day . :)
We're all looking forward to the shows in november, be there cause we'll probably play a new song called Landscape!
Some real news: Findel and Impossible Situations will join forces on an acoustic show in Amersfoort, October 26! We'll let you know the details, but write it down in your agenda, cause it will be great or at least hilarious.
So don't forget about us, write something nice in our guestbook and play those mp3's again... we'll be back before you know! ♥

SUMMER

Hey everyone! A word from us before the summer starts. Thanks for all the nice feedback on our single, we had almost 300 downloads - good you liked it. Well... most of you. :)
Bart is already off to France with his family to catch some sun, Bram will be heading to Antwerp this week with Stephanie, Abel and Iris will get some fresh air in Switzerland, Remco is still working his ass off but he will tour Europe later!
When we're all back, we'll record some new tunes, promised!

SINGLE ALMOST READY...
Yeah! The "Right Now? & Lie To Me" single is almost finished, we'll be recording the last vocals this week. So we'll probably bring it along next week in Leiden!
