NEW POKERFACE punkrock | Dutch punkrockers | just released Swingers

This friday afterparty The Used and Anvery

New Pokerface — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 19:49:04 +0000

Friday the 20th we’ll be playing in rockcity Eindhoven again. We’ll be playing at the Anvery releaseshow at the Dynamo! We’ve known the Anvery guys for quite some time and share the love of Osker, old Saves The Day and old nineties emo. If you’re into old punkrock / emo, check out their ep at their bandcamp site:http://anvery.bandcamp.com/album/separated-by-landlines
Our show will be the afterparty for the show of the Used in the main hall, so expect lots of drunk girls, dudes and tight jeans.

In the meanwhile, we’re still busy writing better lyrics, chorusses and intros for our selected songs. It’s going to be awesome… To give you an idea of our upcoming album: we’ll be using the D-chord and we’ve got some verses with words we can’t pronounce properly.

Nice review and upcoming show!

Check out the review of our show last saturday (in dutch); kings of Breda punkrock, say what? We played in our hometown of Breda opening for There Goes Culture who released their debut EP. We certainly had a blast, the music was tight and the beer was flowing!

While we are sorting out our selection of song for our next full length we will also be playing a show in Arnhem this weekend. Other bands playing are our buddies from This City Shines and Deanmoore. Doors at 21:00, 5 euros for 3 hard-rockin’ bands in The Stage, Arnhem… need we say more?

We proudly present our new music video to our song Darlington Park.

All this footage has been shot on our show in support of the Heideroosjes! If you weren’t at these sold-out shows this is your chance to get a glipse of what it was like. The video shows us doing what we love: playing shows but also everything else involved such as partying, loading our van, driving, getting gas, dancing, smoking, drinking, all the good stuff! Great thanks go out to Kasper for editing the video and Donny and Coen for filming during these 3 days. Now let’s get some views, so share this motherf*cker!!
