Friends! This is gonna be a good year for Black Bottle Riot. We kicked it off @ Eurosonic/Noorderslag in Groningen last week and it was a KILLER NITE. 100% Party. We’ll be comin’ your way sometime this year. Contact our booking agent (kevin@sozconcerts.nl) if you want to be totally sure of that.
So… Got the debut record? Got the T-shirt? All designs of ‘em? Well, at this moment we’re recording a couple of NEW TRACKS for a 10″ record. VINYL indeed. Totally fresh originals by yours truly, thus prepare to expand your BBR merch collection this Spring.
And folks, if you like to read and your outta books: check this BBR interview at NU.NL. Or this review plus interview in FRET magazine. Cheers!
Thanx to the following folks for a great “Let It Snow Tour” this December: our buddies in De Staat & their great roadcrew, the nice bunch of people that work at W2, MC Schaaf, Metropool & Paradiso, the party-cyco audience that came out to the shows, the maniacs who filmed the shows and put ‘em on YouTube, and – certainly not least – the BBR (for this tour) down-sized, wonderful roadcrew of Rob Roadie & Vicious Veltman.
Rock out with this live video of In The Balance (notice Mike breaking a string halfway thru the song)!
Odd Field Film did a great job: in 48 Hours they made this video. From scratch. Thanx, Odd Folks!
Friends! Last weekend we shot a video clip for the stone cold rocker ‘Turning The Tide’. Our friends of Odd Field Film did an excellent job, according to us. They are maniacs… Cracks in the ceiling! A Boozer’s Shoot-Out! You can see for yourself within time what we like about this new video, as it’ll be on YouTube as soon as December 8th.
Tank it up, we’re goin’ on a roadtrip!

Thanx for an awesome night at Doornroosje, friends. It was a SOLD OUT night! YES. Sorry to the many folks who had come to nothing but a closed door. What a way to start our journey together.
We started 11-11-11 with a spray can or two, as you can see in this video:
De Gelderlander (newspaper) wrote an article on our polite way of tagging, go HERE to read it.
