TOTALLY CRACKED LP OUT JANUARY - BEACH 90 VIDEO - NEW ALBUM IN MIXING - SHOW HIGHLIGHTS - WHAT'S AHEAD AND MORE...

merry x-mas everybody,
hope you are all having happy holidays!

We haven't been updating our website a lot this years, there was only one post in march to be exact. haha... so here is what happened and what's ahead for us:

TOTALLY CRACKED LP OUT JANUARY 20TH 
Excited to finally reveal the details of our upcoming release "Totally Cracked LP", out January 20th 2017 on BETWEEN THE DAYS RECORDS in the USA with European distro by the fine folks at STRIPED MUSIC. Remastered with new, updated artwork by Alex Mahola of SCREEN ADDICTS, compiling the Totally Cracked EP, Beach 90 7" and a cover of The King Kong Stomp, which were all recorded in 2007 and released in 2009. This limited release on 200 pink and 300 black vinyl tells our story of having to rename the band from the Cretins to DeeCRACKS and losing 2 members in the process. It is also a tribute to everyone helping us and working with us over the years. Thanks! There is no us without you all!
Preorders are up now though these links: USA / EUROPE
 
BEACH 90 MUSIC VIDEO
In support of this upcoming compilation release we shot a video to our old classic 'Beach 90' in the original the Cretins line-up. It was edited and directed by DER SABE. Camera by ME Video.

 

NEW ALBUM IN MIXING/MASTERING
As announced in March we did hit the studio again and recorded 22 new tunes before summer in Klagenfurt with our main man Marco Perdacher! He also mixed and mastered Attention! Deficit Disorder and we recorded, mixed and mastered Beyond Medication with him. The tracks are currently being mixed and mastered. We will pick the songs for the record after that. Expect more news early 2017 on the record title and where and when it's gonna be out. Stay tuned!

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS OF 2016
Earlier this year we were saying we are going to do less touring this year, which was true, yet still we have had the pleasure to play some really cool shows! Just last weekend we headlined this years edition of the MONSTER ZERO MASH at the pmk in Innsbruck, Austria. We had a great tour in November through Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France, including a show at THIS IS MY FEST 4 in Paris. In summer we headlined day one of the very first edition of PUNK ROCK RADUNO at Edoné in Bergamo, Italy and we got invited to London to play the Pre-Screeching Weasel show party. Here are videos of our sets at TIMF#4 and PRR#1, enjoy:



PUNK ROCK RADUNO COMP VOL. 1
As a special vinyl release in connection with the PUNK ROCK RADUNO Festival, STRIPED MUSIC, MONSTER ZERO, IT'S ALIVE, SURFIN'KI and YEAHMAN released an LP compilation with a track from each band playing the festival. A pretty cool release, so check it out here:

WHAT'S NEXT...
We have one more show in 2016 on NYE at Club Wakuum in Graz, Austria and then the new year can come! First show of 2017 will be in Bratislava, Slovakia at Randal Club with the VIBRATORS on January 26th.We will hit the road again as of May and hope our new record will be out by that time also!

RECORDING NEW ALBUM IN MAY - LESS TOURING IN 2016 - TOTALLY CRACKED EP (2009) RE-ISSUE ON VINYL - NEW ONLINE DISTRIBUTION AND INSTAGRAM

hello internet,

here is what's new in DeeCRACKS-Land:

NEW RECORD IN PLANNING
Oh hell yeah, we're gonna hit the studio again this May to record our fourth studio album. Matt wrote a bunch of new songs already and we are trying to reach a number of 75 working titles total. Further, we're aiming to record 25 songs, selecting around 14 of them for the album. So the rough plan. As always we're gonna record with our best buddy MARCO PERDACHER in Klagenfurt, Austria. We're stoked for the outcome and hope for a great result! We'll keep you updated on the progress of course, so stay tuned!

2016 TOURING PLANS
Unfortunately, this year won't see us touring as much as we used to. We'll play shows of course and you can expect some touring once the new record is out! Real life duties will keep us sidelined a bit until then. We'll have a show on April 1st in London which will be a pre-show to the SCREECHING WEASEL/MxPx gig the next day. It also is Paul Coyote's birthday! So come and celebrate with us!

Here are our upcoming shows:

Friday, 1 April @ Montague Arms, London (UK)
w/ MURDERBURGERS, ATOMS, NO MATTER
Monday, 25 April @ DasBach, Vienna (AT) w/ the ISOTOPES
Friday, 17 June @ Arena Beisl Fest, Arena, Vienna (AT)

TOTALLY CRACKED! LP IN THE MAKING
Here is a goodie for vinyl lovers and long time DeeCracks fans. In 2009 we self-released an 8 track EP entitled TOTALLY CRACKED! on CD only for our first ever US-Tour. It earned us 3 nominations at the Punk Rock Night Awards in Indianapolis, IN and won the award for "Best non-local Release" that year. This year BETWEEN THE DAYS RECORDS will release a limited vinyl edition in the USA. It will be a solid LP with all songs from that recording session. It is kind of a missing link between what we were and what we are, as we recorded it as The Cretins back in 2007 right before our former second guitarplayer Marco left the band and before we were forced to change our name to DeeCracks. We're happy this is available on vinyl soon for you all to enjoy!

 
ONLINE DOMINATION
Not touring much gave us some time to catch up on social media and online related things. Aside from the new blog-design, we launched an Instagram account and put our albums up on platforms such as iTunes, Spotify, Amazon MP3, Google Play, Rhapsody and so on. Give us some of your precious money!

PAUL'S THE RATCLIFFS RELEASING NEW RECORD
In other news, our bassplayer Paul is releasing the first full length album with his band THE RATCLIFFS! It's called 'Bubblegum Warfare' and comes out this week on Monster Zero Records! If you happen to be close to Innsbruck, Austria on Saturday, come to the release party at the PMK! We're all gonna be there!

WHAT ELSE? 

Mike did an Interview for a brazilian punk community website called WE LIVE IN HELL. Also, he will be filling in on drums for 7 Years Bad Luck next week and the Isotopes on their European tour in April.

so that's what's up,
good night internet

MEXICO TOUR DOCUMENTARY ONLINE - WORDS ON CHINA TOUR - OPENING FOR CJ RAMONE IN BERLIN - AND MORE...

hello out there,

as always, we have been busy since the last update.
We toured for four weeks in China followed by a Mini-Tour through Austria with our longtime buds 7 Years Bad Luck. Here is what's new and what happened:

First, we are shocked about the attacks in Paris and our thoughts are with the families and friends of the victims. It's a shame that this cowardly terror and senseless hatred entered the world of music and entertainment. Let's not show fear!
Also, the punk rock scene lost a beloved member, an incredible drummer and a great human being. Brandon Carlisle, drummer of TEENAGE BOTTLEROCKET sadly passed away on November 7th. Love to the Carlisle and TBR family! RIP brother, <3!

MEXICO TOUR DOCUMENTARY ONLINE
On our Regeneration Tour in Mexico this past June, we were accompanied by Julian Araya Esquivel aka KID SATIVA, a young documentary maker from Costa Rica. He took some footage of our travels and shows with MALEDUKADOS and MALAS PALABRAS and put together a 75 minute long documentary of it. It gives a good view on the tour and the punk rock scene in Mexico. It also contains subtitles for English and Spanish for the interviews! Check it out:


The Great Wall of China
CHINA TOUR
What an adventure! This September we embarked on our first ever tour in China! Our 2012 stand-in Chinese bassplayer Zhong booked this tour for us and joined us for the ride playing bass for us again. He did a great job organizing the tour, booking 22 shows all over China! Unfortunately, we could only play 18 of those 22, since we faced problems with our visas in the middle of the tour, when we entered Hong Kong. We had to cancel 4 shows, wait it out in Hong Kong and fly to Shanghai to continue the tour. It all turned out fine in the end! Thanks Zhong for making this trip happen and for the great care. Thanks Kalle for taking the time to come along to carry the merch. Thanks to all the chinese fans for coming out! Unforgettable times!


MINI-TOUR WITH 7 YEARS BAD LUCK
A week after the China Tour we hit the road for five shows in Austria with our buddies 7 YEARS BAD LUCK. Great times as always! Thanks to everyone for coming out to the shows! Here is our 30 song 'CAROLINE' played during soundcheck before our show in Innsbruck:

EQUALITY FEST AND 'TOUR SUPPORT FOR CJ RAMONE IN GERAMNY
This Saturday we'll be playing at this years edition of the Equality Fest at GEI in Timelkam, Austria. Our friends WILD EVEL & THE TRASHBONES are also on the bill as well as other good bands. We're sure it will be a party!
Next week we start a little tour in Czech Republic and Germany to follow an invitation to be the official tour support for CJ RAMONE in Germany. Here are the dates:
27 Nov @ Klub Voko, Most, CZ
30 Nov @ BI NUU, Berlin, DE
1 Dec @ Underground, Cologne, DE
2 Dec @ Goldmarks, Stuttgart, DE


30 SECOND WONDERS COMPILATION
30 bands performing 30 second songs, all on one record and we are part of it with our song 'Caroline' (watch the video above!). Italian record label ONE CHORD WONDER Records released this compilation in late September. It's a 12" white vinyl release, with a screenprinted B-side, a nice booklet and it comes with a CD and download code! We have a few copies of it, you can find it on our Merchtable at the upcoming shows. Stream it below:

2ND PREE OF 'BEYOND MEDICATION' IN THE HOUSE
This morning we got the 2nd press of our 2014 album 'Beyond Medication' delivered. Another 500 LPs for those who don't have the record yet, haha. They will be available again at the MONSTER ZERO online store and our merch-distributer STRIPED MUSIC shortly!

GREATEST HITS (CHINA TOUR EDITION) PLUS CHINA 
TOURSHIRT AVAILABLE
DMC Records from China put out a Greatest Hits CD for our China Tour and we also had special shirts printed for this tour. Both are now available online over at our merch distributer STRIPED MUSIC! Place your orders!

Since the last update in March we had a nice tour through Belgium, France, UK and the Netherlands with NOT SCIENTISTS from Lyon. Bjarke Knudsen of the 20 BELOWS joined us on bass for that tour and became the 10th bassplayer in DeeCracks history. He had one week to learn all of our songs and did a hell of a job! Thanks again buddy for doing this! Great times! It was a nice tour, being on the road with good friends like Bjarke and Not Scientists is always a blast! Great memories!
Here is Bjarke playing his first show with us at Crossbonefest in Belgium:
 

CANADA & MEXICO TOUR
In May we embarked on an oversea tour. Our almost full bandmember Paul Coyote was with us on bass for that. First, we did a nice 2 and half week run throughout Québec and Ontario in Canada with touring-buddies LOST LOVE. Thanks again for taking us out on this tour guys, it was a blast!
         Live at Pre Pouzza-Fest Party in Montréal                      Live in St. Luis Potosí, Mexico
The last week of this tour we spend in Mexico, playing 6 shows touring with MALAS PALABRAS from Costa Rica and MALEDUKADOS from Mexico. Thank you all for your dedication and for working your ass off for this tour! We love you guys! Special shout out to Mormi and Rulo for all their work! It was a tough tour, but an incredible experience. We will never forget this adventure!

FESTIVAL BEAT, RADIO BIRDMAN & MONSTER ZERO SUMMER MASH
In June and July we played only 3 shows, all of which in Italy. We were part of the famous FESTIVAL BEAT in Salsomaggiore. It was the 25th edition of this festival and were playing at Devil's Den in the evening before the festival started on the main stage with the MONSTERS and RADIO BIRDMAN headlining that night. he next day we had the honor to open for the legendary Radio Birdman in Bologna. Great weekend! On July 31st we played at the MONSTER ZERO SUMMER MASH at Edoné in Bergamo. We love to party in Italy!

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS 'STROLL THE STREETS' & 'DON'T RELY ON ME'
Olivier Theriault does not only play a mean guitar in Lost Love, he is also a very talented videographer. He had his camera on and ready on our Canada tour this May and used the material to cut two music videos out for us. Check them out:
