Hello from Holland

Subject: Hello from Holland Sat Jul 24, 2010 6:04 pm

I was thinking: "Where shall I introduce myself?" Well, I think I found just the right spot.

I'm Stefan from the Netherlands. I live in the south of it and I love it. Last year I went to the westcoast of the U.S.A., it was wonderful. I think i'm going to return in two years, but then I'll visit the eastcoast. And of course New Jersey! I'm looking forward to it.
I play in a rockband with some guys from school. My username is called theBasemen and that's what the band is also called. If you search on Youtube "Basemen" you can find me at the bottom of the page! I'm the drummer and singer of the band. We write our own songs. But this was at our first gig, so we played some covers too. Troubled and Surviving Mondays are from our own. We will have our second gig tomorrow in front of 250 people. I'm quite excited! I hope you love the songs!

Greetings from Holland,

Stefan

I haven't seen the Gaslight Anthem yet, but I'm going to visit them in November. They're gonna play 'round here that time! I prefer the new album the most, American Slang, because I think the guys have made their own sound. The others were almost simulair to a Clash album! Greetz!

Welcome

I got a simple kit. It was very cheap (about $250), it is from Musicstore in Köln (Germany). The brand is Fame, it is the housebrand of Musicstore. I also bought a guitar there last week. It's a Squier Telecaster. In Bruce's colours, if you know what I mean.

Our performance yesterday went very well. The croud was excited and we were too! Afterwards I got a lot of positive feedback, so that was fun!
