Happy Christmas from Captain Oats!

I'll see you soon with a new site, new songs and ... an EP! I'm doing these things first with Third Street Promenade, because yesterday we've recorded our five songs all day long and I want to finish that first. So, enjoy your holidays and keep an eye on these two sites!

I hope you like it.

Captain Oats at the Phenix launch

Well, it has been a while! Because of the gigs with Third Street Promenade I didn't have much time for Captain Oats. However, today we played some songs at the NSG for the launch of the school paper called Phenix. Sad but true, Bouke played the drums for the last time, because he's too busy and he's also in another great band called Tourette Quartet.
There's also good news: Meyke made some great pictures with her brand new camera! Furthermore, I think I've learnt a lot from the past six shows, so hopefully it all will get better and better!

Captain Oats at The Matrixx

Last Friday Captain Oats performed at The Matrixx for Dance 4 Life. For those of you who weren't there (or for those who want to see it all over again ;) ) a video has been made! Enjoy!

Delay

Unfortunately, there is some delay in a show we're going to play. I'm saying we because Bouke (drums, you know him from the newest video's) and maybe even Ernst (former 'Rijpe Peren' bass player) will join at least temporary (maybe if they like it, they'll be addicted to Captain Oats as much as I am ^^ ). Anyway..the delays. The opening act for the college paper has been delayed, because the paper isn't finished yet! There some technical problems, so the date has been changed from November 3rd to November 20th.

For a moment even the show (Dance4Life) in the Matrixx was at risk, because the organisation wasn't aware of the bands who wanted to play. They've set up some rules, so other bands are having problems due to the fact that a drums aren't allowed and everything has to be (semi)-acoustic. This isn't a problem for me, because I'll grab my semi-acoustic guitar and play some sweet Captain Oats tunes! I'm sure the organisation will agree, so everything is going to be alright.

By the way, the new song (coincidence or not: it is fully acoustic) will be released soon! Yesterday I made a kind of demo, but I had some problems with the different tracks for the guitar and vocals. Things will work out!

Captain Oats? I think it's someones band.
Today's Random "Next Blog":
Captain Oats
(I think it's someones band.)
Well, Captain Oats is featured on a blog. No, not because he/she liked the music, but because he/she accidentally hit the 'Next Blog' feature and came right here! You have to start somewhere, right?

(ps: there are some shows in november!)

A new song!

I just finished the concept of a new song! I'm going to record it in a few days and it will be totally acoustic. A video will be released on the places where you'd expect them, (here, google, youtube, hyves) because this is going to be the song I'm going to participate with in VirusFreeGeneration.
For more information, visit their site. Anyway, it's powered by 'Kunstbende', so I think it'll be good. We'll see if they'll like. More important, I would love to hear if you like it.
Keep an eye on this site!
