Sadly, we’ve had to cancel our Popronde show in Amersfoort on November 6th, something we really don’t like doing. When we booked it, we knew that we might have to, but it’s always tough to cancel a show. 

However, there is a reason. A good reason even. For the last few years I’ve been working for an organisation called STOP THE TRAFFIK (Dutch), or STT for short. STT fights human trafficking and modern slavery worldwide.

As such, I’m going to have to go to India for a week. For a few meetings with people from all over the world, but also to visit some projects of real-life heroes that rescue girls from forced prostitution.

This is an issue that I feel very strongly about. You can even find it on our album Smokescreens, on the track Bloody Hands. Give it a spin.

Or better yet, write your own songs, poems, blog posts etc. about it! A wise man once said that “the only thing necessary for evil to prosper, is for good men to do nothing’. So speak up, get involved, do something! 

So, while we really hate to cancel the show, there is a good reason for it this time. We hope to be playing near you soon. Check our giglist here. First show is tomorrow (Friday) night in Nijmegen, and Utrecht this coming Sunday.
