| [14.11.08] November month to remember! |
| November. The month that gives us an average age of twenty years and makes it hard to blame 'bad shows' and animalistic behaviour on the fact that we were just a bunch of outrageous teenagers. We're grown up now, no more nonsense... YEAH RIGHT HAHA!!! Upcoming shows in November are this one, this two and this three. We would enjoy your presence! |
| [29.10.08] Bald and outrageous! |
| Did two gigs in a weekend a couple of days ago. Good sound, tight shows. Not too many people showed up in Boxmeer, but the ones who gave it a try were very cool. Thank you for that. And thanks Robin Looij for the organisation of Rockin Hard fest 2008, you did very well! Next weekend it's party time in Bergen op Zoom, where we play with Dowzer and Appendix (flyer) , and Vlissingen as a support act of Dutch stoner band Spooner! Come over and hang out with us! |
| [13.10.08] Writing... |
| Had a great time playing three gigs in a row a few weeks ago! Big thanks goes out to Kleazer, for letting us play in Vroomshoop, to the Dieksiepop crew for showing up and make some very nice pics and videos, and to all the people who dropped by to see Overgrown rock out in Roosendaal (thanks Sophie, Rick and Frederique for the photo's, they are smashing!). On this very moment we're writing our asses off to get the tracks finished before we'll hit the studio in March. Stay tuned for more Album-info! We'll meet again in Essen at the Rockin Hard Festival where OG is gonna trash the stage together with Peter Pan Speedrock and The Spades! See you here. See you there. See you goddamned faces everywhere! |
| [22.09.08] Germany Tour cancelled + RocknRoll Weekend! |
| Very sorry to tell you that our Germany Tour has been cancelled. We were really looking forward to it, but due to failing booking agencies it was no longer profitable heading to Germany for only two shows, as our Debut Album is ofcourse priority #1. Maybe next summer guys! If you haven't been at one of our shows (shame on you!) this weekend will definatly be THE time to see us live! Friday 26th we'll be in Het Front in Vroomshoop, Saturday 27th it's gonna be one hell of a party in Udenhout at Mugfest and Sunday 28th, last but certainly not least we'll trash the Tongerloplein playing a home game as a special act in Roosendaal! After stroking the last chords on Sunday we'll almost immediatly Head Off to Utrecht to watch the quiting legends of The Hellacopters perform their best show ever! All our respect goes out to these great rockers! Join us this weekend! |
| [07.09.08] Hand Over The Scepter! |
| That's the title of our debut Album, which we're going to record in March! We chose Jochem Jacobs from Split Second Sound to produce the Album and make sure it contains the most awesome rocksound ever! Really looking forward to record H.O.T.S. No doubt we're gonna have one hell of a time in the brand new Split Second Sound Studio in Amsterdam! That's about it for the Album I guess... Oh yeah we still got new gigs confirmed, 9 shows in Septembre and Octobre... Busy busy busy! Amongst these gigs, a gig in Udenhout, where we are supposed to play in an empty swimmingpool. How familiar sounds that hehe ... |
| [30.08.08] Gigs-Album-Studio-Tour-Germany-NEWS NEWS NEWS!!! |
| The gig at De Rots in Antwerpen together with Gipsy On The Rocks was great! Certainly not our tightest show ever, but hey, it was Rock and Roll! G.O.T.R. on the contrary were very tight and played a good show. Time to bring them over to Holland I think. Meanwhile many gigs are confirmed amongst others; Hoefslag Festival, Rockin Hard Festival and another German gig. Check the Live section for more info. If we got any time between these parties, we'll talk with several producers. Cause who's gonna produce our Debut Album? This is soon to be announced together with the name of the album! See you at one of our shows folks! |
| [24.07.08] Digital Sampler Vans Warped Tour '08 New Jersey + Won Altstadt Battle of the Bands! |
| Good news! Good news! Past Sunday we won Altstadt Battle of the Bands! The jury had to choose 1 band out of 5 acts and we were the lucky ones. Really a positive thing for the band, to win 2 band-battles in a few months. Let's carry on those moments! Other great news is coming all the way from America. We're on a Digital Sampler that will be handed out during the Vans Warped Tour in New Jersey. The sampler, which looks like a creditcard, has an unique code on the back. With this code, 2000 lucky Americans who receive this sampler can download one of our songs for free! Check the picture and see what the sampler looks like. For now it's time to... Kick out the jams motherfuckers! |
| [14.07.08] Altied gezellig in Haarle! |
| Dieksiepop 2008... Hell of a party! Played a very nice and tight show in front of approximatly 200 people. As soon as we stroke down our first chords, Anthonie and his friends changed in animals and tore several pieces of fine furniture apart. In a few minutes the floor was covered in couch-stuffing and pillows were flying trough the air! Check out photo # 3 if you don't believe me. Showtime's over, selled some merch, drank some (many) beers (and blue vodka for Marty) and watched the show of the Trailer Trash Tremblers. Nice boys, uhm... I mean "Good boys"... 'Cause Nice Boys don't play Rock and Roll! And that's just what it was! Thanks Anthonie and friends for the very good organisation and the animalistic behaviour! Thanks Lin for the photo's and sociability! And Thank's Bernard a.k.a. 'I'll drive over your feet if you don't get out of my way!' for driving all the way to Haarle and back with the trailer! All in all Overgrown has experienced another great show @ Dieksiepop. I would say, see ya guys again! |
| [23.06.08] Ben ik tot in den Doodt... |
| It was supposed to be a fun trip. Driving 1,5 hour to Boxmeer to see Oranje beat the Russians and play one of our finest gigs afterwards with a smashing line-up. Unfortunatly the story knew a completely different (read: fucked up) end. After arriving at the venue, the organisation told us about the change of plans they had. We had to play at 1.30 instead of 22:30 after the game, cause the headliner wanted to open the show, so we had to headline. Ofcourse this was bad news to us, as we had to drive 1,5 hour back home and simply were not paid enough to be a headliner. When we saw our national team lose against those commies, most of the people who came to see the show went home. Beaten, dissapointed and angry as we were, we desided to tell the organisation we would leave and not play. So we did. Three hours driving for absolutely nothing and a very bad feeling. It was not more than normal that we got wasted at Lex' after such a bummer that night. But hey! There is good news! (Look below) |
| [11.06.08] Den Vaderland getrouwe... |
| Currently we are writing for our Debut Album, which title is soon to be announced. No more news actually, except for the gig in The Box on the 21st of June. We're playing there with great names such as The Undeclinables, Mans Ruin and Hooghwater. For now it's time to watch soccer and support our glorious nation! |
| [23.05.08] Vote or die mthrfckr Vote or die! |
| The 'Chill Before Serving' video was broadcasted by music station TMF last week! To get more plays in the near future we need your VOTE!. Just click on the green thumb and enjoy the masterpiece shot by the Overgrown '88 Porncam. A very gratefull thanks goes out to all of you people! |
| [27.04.08] Won Slag om de Rooi + New Gigs + German Tour! |
| Yesterday we won bandbattle 'Slag om de Rooi'! Did a very nice show in a packed Ojc De Werf. We were chosen by the jury as the best band of this years edition out of 8 acts. The price is to share the stage with San Andreas, Tenement Kids and The Undeclinables @ Jaarmarktpop 2008! This is our fourth festival-gig next to Klompop, Dieksiepop and Rockin Hard. New gigs are still being confirmed till August, cause we will be taking a break for a month to celibrate our holidays! When the days run shorter again and the temperature drops, we'll be grabbing our guitars, sticks and mics, throw them in a van, and head to Germany for our German Tour in October! The first show we'll do in Germany is in Berlin @ POPKOMM. We're busy planning shows for the tour right now. All in all it is a wonderfull time for Overgrown and it's friends. See you at one of our shows! |
| [13.04.08] Where’s the Chgeest? |
| Just came home from three amazing days with The Mochines. Played gigs with the guys from South Afrika in Altstadt, Het Muziekcafe and Little Devil. Got really wasted in Eindhoven, but I believe the show was fucking cool and really crowded too. Eindhoven Rockcity for sure! Our new set went very well because we got used to it finally. After rocking, boozin’, shouting and singing along with Kiss, Hellacopters and Turbonegro for half a week, it’s time to study again… What a bummer. Thanks guys! Hope to see you again next year! |
| [29.03.08] Shit kickers, furry cuffs and a billy club... |
| Past 2 shows supporting Bloodlights were awesome! We played 2 nice gigs ourselves, witnessed a really really tight rockshow and had some 'interresting' chats afterwards. Yet, we're busy writing songs to replace some cheap old songs in the live-set. Come see us 10/11/12 april together with The Mochines in Eindoven/Kerkrade/Tilburg to hear our brand new songs Hey you acting outta line! and Lucifers Law. Ch to tha eers |

| Now I can sense the smell of danger! We've been asked to play 2 shows in Rotterdam and Wortel(first Belgian show) as the support act of BLOODLIGHTS! Ofcourse this means a lot to us, as this band is a huge inspiration. Also got a mini-tour with The Mochines for you in april so it's gonna be a hell of a time in march/april! Our video 'Chill before Serving' reached 2500 views this week. Check it out at our Media page and mind the Gig page! |
