ANTILLECTUAL 25y! April 9, 2018: CHANGE THE STANDARD!

On April 9, 2018 we released our most megalomaniac music video! Music video is not even the right word to describe it: for this project we made a documentary series about people changing the standard in their field of work towards more sustainable, fair trade and organic industries and societies.

We also add them to Bandcamp releases, and now we're finally able to add them to Spotify too! So please check our ANTILLECTUEEL EP with Dutch lyrics on Spotify and sing along!

When Ben joined we knew we wanted to get back into it as soon as we could! We didn't do any seated, online or otherwise compromised Covid shows and... read on at https://antillectual.com/25y

Zwolle, April 11: Skroetfest!

We had the pleasure of playing with Skroetbalg last month and we're pumped to be playing their own festival with an incredible lineup! Stompen met de Skroet

We've played Zwolle quite a few times in the past, since Zwolle has a lively DIY scene also in squatted spaces. Pics from Sep 13, 2003 at CO-9 by Mark BBK and Photo Mike Nicolaassen.

When Lee from Hike The Peak asked me (Willem) not just to do guest vocals but really write lyrics and add a vocal line for their instrumental track I immediately confirmed. The track "Reach The Top" is out now, as a double A side single featuring Judo Chop!
