Darlington Park video online!

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!!

2011 for New Pokerface

Thomas — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 17:34:25 +0000

2011 was a fantastic year for New Pokerface. We made an awesome record, called Swingers and did tons of great shows with cool bands! In Breda we did our own Claiming The Crown festival which was great and will have a fourth edition next year on 21st of april.

We’ve played shows with some of our favorite bands like the Heideroosjes, No Use For A Name, Iron Chic and had a great time being on the road with our friends and comrades from other bands.
2011 also brought us new merchandise, an awesome social media photofuck, new gear and lots of new friends!We’ve lost the Punkrock Soccer tournament 2011 but we still got the cup.

By the end of 2011 Bert’s brother started his own booking agency, Unternative Bookings, and started to arrange shows for us and for other bands. We are very pleased with that and we will continue to work with him in 2012. If you want a show with us or want to exchange ideas for your own band, please contact Coen.

For now we are writing for our next full-length, we are planning 2 international tours and are having a ball with arranging shows for 2012.

To sum it all up, we’ve introduced our music to a lot of new people and we hope we will do that even more in 2012!

Reliving Heideroosjes support

Thomas — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:02:24 +0000

Last week we played three shows with the mighty Heideroosjes. They have released their last album and this is their final club tour. We felt quite honoured to be asked to be their supporting act for three consecutive days. In the past we have already shared the stage with acts such as The Gaslight Anthem, Anti-Flag,No Use for A Name, Iron Chic and Peter Pan Speedrock. Now we can add Holland’s biggest punkrock band ever to that list, and what a trip it was!

As a band we will always strive to play our best show yet, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a heavy metal bar, a squatters complex or your grandma’s garage, we will play it. With the Heideroosjes we got to play in the bigger venues Holland has got. These three days took us to Heerlen (waydown south), Groningen (way up north) and Leiden (somewhere in the middle) and all places were packed. The audience that go to a Heideroosjes show ranged from 10 year old girls rocking with their mom to mohawk punk-rockers, which is nice to see. Audiences have been great for us and we loved every show, over 1500 people got to see us and we hope to have entertained everyone. We sure had the best time ever!

Seeing the Heideroosjes doing what they do best night after night is quite inspiring, what a live act! Full blown energy on and off stage, that is what the Heideroosjes stand for, every show was another highlight! The Heideroosjes are a cool bunch, great musicians and capable drinkers, we’d like to thank them (including their crew) for having us on tour and being such nice guys. We sincerely hope the hangover is not too hard on ya!

Now we’re gonna edit a video of all thefootage we shot during these shows (thanks Donnie!). Also, our merchguy Mark once again proved to be a master at selling out! Last but not least our booker Coen (unternative bookings) has done a great job getting us more beer!

Check out this video of New Pokerface performing Man vs Man @ the Nieuwe Nor (Heerlen)

Heideroosjes shows are awesome!

New Pokerface — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 11:57:29 +0000

We have played two shows with the Heideroosjes and they were true punkrock shows! All sold out (is that punk?) and the Heideroosjes are making clear why they are still the best Dutch live band!

The Vera and de Nieuwe Nor (pictures) are great places to play and it is even more awesome to play at these venues when they are packed!

Thanks to everyone whe has seen us already and bought/took anything from our merchandise (yes, the stickers count as merchandise).

Tonight we’ll be playing the LVC in Leiden and we are going to enjoy it as much as possible!

ps en Deventer jullie kunne wel Go Ahead hebben als voetbal club, maar ik zou goffer snel kaartjes gaan kopen voor de laatste Heideroosjes show die niet uitverkocht is, want je zal weggeblazen worden!!

This Week: 3 shows with the mighty Heideroosjes! (all sold out!)

Thomas — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:33:52 +0000
