HR in the middle of writing new album
posted on: 29-06-2006
Hello people! I got some news for you. At this moment we are in the middle of writing new songs. We have 24 ideas so far. 13 of them have been worked out and are 'real songs' at the moment. We have some work to do and around 16 songs will end up on the new album.
Speaking of that new album. Heideroosjes gonna work with producer Cameron Webb (Ignite, Social Distortion, Sum 41, Motorhead) for this album. End of October we'll fly to Los Angeles to track all the stuff we wrote.
Right after that we'll fly back to do this year's Nikolaus Raus Tour. That's right, it's in Germany! Together with ZSK, Go Faster Nuns and ACK we'll play some cool clubs in December. And if mother nature sticks to her schedule, the best bassplayer of our band gets his first baby in December! Yes, Fred is becoming a father. It's gonna be fun haha....
All this means that the new album will not be released before next year. It will be in stores around February and we will tour our asses off the rest of the year. Be aware... this is just silence before the storm will hit your town haha....
Please check back here for updates. We will keep you posted about the process of making, recording and mixing the new album. Thanks for your support!

Heideroosjes record song for Tibet
posted on: 24-06-2006
Heideroosjes have recorded a song together with famous Tibetan singer LOTEN. It's a re-written version of the Heideroosjes-classic UNITED SCUM. The new title is UNITED TIBET and the lyrics deal with the problematic situation for the Tibetans in their own country (which is occupied by the Chinese government). The Dutch Tibet Support Group asked Heideroosjes to record UNITED TIBET for a single. "Last year we played at a benefit-festival for Tibet. That day we met Tibetan singer Loten and after some chat we thought it was cool if he joined us on stage" says Marco. "To our surprised it worked out absolutely great! So when the people of Ticket For Tibet asked us to do this single, we immediately said 'yes'".
UNITED TIBET will be released in Holland and Belgium to get attention for this years Ticket For Tibet festival which takes place at August 27th in Best (Holland). For all infos about the song, release-date and videoclip please also check the website of Ticket For Tibet.

Heideroosjes sign nationwide US-deal
posted on: 29-03-2006
Great news! Heideroosjes have inked a recorddeal for North America with I SCREAM RECORDS . A compilation CD with the best songs will be released on June 6th 2006. I Scream Records, founded in Belgium in 1994, recently opened a branch of their European office in Los Angeles and have signed an exclusive distribution deal with The NAVARRE COOPERATION (www.navarre.com).
"This compilation will be entitled "ROYAL TO THE BONE" and should be a perfect introduction of the band in the US" says singer Marco. "I Scream Records is a new player in the American music industry and there for on top of what they need to do. It's such a label we as a band need since we are and have been very persistent and possessed as well"
Later this year Heideroosjes will head out to the US (again) to back up this release with live shows. (In the mean time the band is working on new songs).
Needless to say this deal is exclusively for the USA since Heideroosjes have been signed to EPITAPH in Europe for years.

Further on this disc; backstage-reports at festivals and their 15-year anniversary shows in Brussels (B) and Tilburg (NL). Besides that you'll see how the band works at the new album.
