Last show of the year / insane party

Casper | 15th December 2008, 15:22

You better be here, you don’t want to miss the last and best party of the year, do you? There’s no entrance fee, the only thing you have do is be on time (cause it just might be too busy..) and bring some cash to buy (one or more of the) 5 new releases, including our own Youth EP, which is avaible as of now in the webshop! On behalf of the Snowstar Family, hope to see you there!

YOUTH EP RELEASE

Casper | 15th November 2008, 18:32

Finally!
After a couple of months of sharing our four newest songs with you online, the time has come to physically release the four tracks plus a brand new ‘‘Safe’‘ remix by cut-copy heroes Nobody Beats The Drum as an EP! In collaboration with Snowstar Records and 3FM Serious Talent we are absolutely stoked to finally show the EP to everyone, which comes in a flashy digipack for only 6 euro’s.

Release Live @ 3FM
Starting december the 12th, when we will officially release the Youth EP during the radio show Move Your Ass on 3FM (between 22.00 and 1.00 at 96.8 MHz), you can finally hold the Youth EP in your hands, put it in your stereo, read the lyrics, show it to your mates, trow it at your girl/boyfriend during fights or just plainly look at it (it’s quite stunning, you know). We will sell the EP at shows, but there obviously will be an option to order it via this site (and others) as well.

Releaseparty and tour
To promote the Youth EP, we have been setting up a tour in early 2009 and thanks to Snowstar Booking and 3FM Serious Talent it’s shaping up to look pretty awesome, but there’s always room for one more show, so don’t hesitate to hook us up with … anything! Mail to snowstarbooking@gmail.com for tips and info. Of course there is a releaseparty as well, December the 27th in dB’s, Utrecht. This evening is the fifth anniversairy of Snowstar Records in collaboration with 3voor12 Utrecht, and together with bands like Florida Snow, Guinevere Leaves, Grapes of Grain and The Subhuman (who will all release new material as well) we’ll make it a night to remember!

Supporting The Rascals in Tivoli

Casper | 14th November 2008, 16:53

And another ‘‘The’‘ band to support! One of 2008’s most exciting bands (especially live!) , The Rascals, is coming to town and we are joining them for one fine evening. In our hometown, Utrecht, in Tivoli de Helling on December the 3rd to be exact. You of course heard of frontman Miles Kane’s project The Last Shadow Puppets, with englisch rock royalty Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) and producer James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco). Tickets for our show with The Rascals are on sale here. By the way, expect a big update (I’m talking EP release news and awesome live pics here) tomorrow!
