06/08/08 | RESURRECTION OF THE GREEN MONSTER!
It is done! Thanks to the hard work and dedication of Reinoud ter Braake, our bus is finaly ready to hit the road once again! We never heard the engine run this smooth and we feel proud to take her back out there with us.
What else is new in the BiaD camp: We're putting all of our energy to writing new songs and so far things arre going realy well. We've already come up with some great tunes, but we're saving most of them for later this year. A new Instrumental track and two songs called 'Island of Marion' and 'The Vibe called Today' are already added to the setlist we are currently playing. Curious? Come check us out next Tuesday (12th of August) at Cleopatra in Groningen if you like our music and beers for a good price...
28/06/08 | Beer, new songs, beer and Sunny beaches
First of all: we had an awesome year playing shows for all of you dudes and dudettes. It would be cliché to say that it all went to fast and that we would love to thank everyone that came out to support us, but it's true so we say it anyway. Long story short, summer is coming up and we're of to Sunny beaches to come to our senses. Robert and Niels will support the Spanish soccerteam in Malaga, while Coen and Fons will be picking eachothers nose in Groningen to make sure nothing gets in the we of some well deserved fresh air.
Like every summer, we will be taking some extra time to write new songs and to get everything done for September and the rest of the year. We will be playing some late summershows, so check our giglist to find out if we will be rocking any place nearby. For pictures of the Joppop festival, check out www.joppop.nl and www.profot.nl.
We'll be back…
29/05/08 | Some good news and some bad news...
The good news is that we rocked our bottoms of at the Lopend Vuur Offline showcase and Oerrock, just as promised. We want to thank everyone for coming to have a good time with us. Especially the Oerrockshow was something we will not forget so easily. We have been recording these two shows, both visuals and audio, and lots of backstage footage, so check our website for some new videos soon to come! Can't wait to catch a glimpse of what Oerrock was all about? Check out this video http://www.zideo.nl/index.php?option=com_podfeed&zideo=6b3461536e673d3d&playzideo=6c6f53556d6c6b3d from our friends Roland de Groot en Martijn de Vries from Rotterdam!
The bad news is that our beloved bus, also known as 'the green monster', might not hit the road ever again. We will try to do eveything to bring her back to life, but things don't look pretty for now. You can leave her a message in our guestbook and we'll make shure to gently whisper all those warm words in her fuel pipe.
Just because our bus is out of order, doesn't mean we are! We will do one more show for all of you rockers before the summer kicks in, and it's a free one! We feel proud to invite you all to the place where we gave birth to a lot of musical ideas, Oosterwolde. Here we will rock the stage with Voicst, van Katoen, a Silent Express and many more at the Joppop Festival. Check www.joppop.nl for all the details and we would love to see you there to drink some... well, let's say it is not going to be a sober night...
And for all the lucky ones with a Pinkpopticket: See you there! RATM, rock yeah!!
cheers!

After months of hard work we are proud to announce that Krause won the Lopend Vuur Pitch! Why are we so proud? Because Sony BMG assured us that our plan was more than okay and that they’re willing to help us out on a few things. It’s going to take a little longer before we can tell you all the ins and outs of our plan, because we need to find some sponsors first… anyone?

16/01/08 | NEW VIDEO ONLINE!
Overcrowded, sweaty and energetic are the only words that come close to describe our show during the Eurosonic festival last Friday. Our apologies go out to all the unfortunate ones who weren't able to get in. Of course also we could have never expected this many people to show up. In spite of some technical problems we rocked our asses of to give everyone at 'de Kar' what they came for. The round of applause we received after the show was overwhelming... Thank you!!
It's time to sit back in your easy chair again, because we got a new video online at our myspace! We signed up for a new contest called the 'lopend vuur pitch' and in order to join the fun we had to make a video to introduce ourselves. The last couple of months lots of bands uploaded their videos and any day soon five bands will be selected to write a marketing planning with the help of ten professionals. The people at Sony BMG will then finally pick one band they want to provide of a proper budget to realize this marketing planning. Sounds like a good deal huh?
For all of you rockers in need of some serious headbanging: check out our gig list to find out where we will strike next!
