Hello out there,

it's been a while since we threw our last post out here. Five months to be exact, haha, sorry. A lot has happened since then and there is a lot coming up also. Here is an update on what's going on and what has happened...

CHINA TOUR IN SEPTEMBER
Yes, we will be going to China for almost a month from in September/October. Remember our chinese bassplayer Zhong? He did a European Tour with us in fall of 2012. He booked an outstanding China Tour with us and will come along for the ride to play bass and help translating. Our close friend and merchguy/driver Kalle will also be on that trip! Also, we will have special China Tour shirts and there will be another Best-Of CD out for the tour.

MAINLY UK TOUR WITH NOT SCIENTISTS
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:


TOTE BAGS NOW AVAILABLE AT STRIPED MUSIC

Andrea Manges put some DeeCracks tote bags in our official store at STRIPED MUSIC and they look great! Order them there and fill the order with some records, cause that's what the bag is for. We also got a few of them, so look for them on our merchtable at our upcoming shows!


NEW MONSTER ZERO WEBSITE & STORE
Our home record label MONSTER ZERO got a new website monsterzerorecords.com! It also features an all new store. Check it out and check out all the other bands on the label. Good stuff!

MIKE GOT INTERVIEWED BY NOISEY
Recently, Mike sat down with VICE's online music magazine NOISEY talking about touring worldwide as an Austrian punk band. It's all in German, but if you are interested, put it through the online translating generator of your choice, and have a read. You can find the interview by clicking HERE.
