We’ve set up a very sweet deal for you fans of The Black Atlantic. On Wednesday 8th September the band will perform at the awesome Popkomm Showcase Festival in the iconic Passionskirche. And we’ve decided to bring a long 50 of you guys to Berlin!

Here’s the deal. We’re offering 50 all-in tickets for 50 euro each to ride a long with the band to Berlin and be part of this very special performance. We’ve rented a big touring bus which will carry the band & crew plus 50 extra passengers. That night TBA will perform in the church alongside Moss (NL), Martin and James (UK) and Yukon Blonde (CAN).

Everybody will get a passe-partout ticket that will give you acces to every showcase in Berlin on the 8th and 9th of September PLUS you’ll get a free camping spot at the city camping (very close to the city centre). On Thursday the band will give an extra showcase in the lovely La Vie En Rose Theatre at the Berlin Tempelhof Airport (14:00-14:30). After the show we’ll regroup and travel back to Utrecht.

Do you want to be part of this city trip?

A while ago we stumbled upon this video of a dancer doing an improv on the track ‘Fragile Meadow’ by The Black Atlantic. We got in touch and when we found out the girl happened to live in Toronto and we were going there for the NXNE Festival we had to meet. This video is the end result of a day well spend in the beautiful city of Toronto. A very special thank you is in order for Tessa who choreographed an awesome, awesome dance for us.

Enjoy! Fragile Meadow.

Now you can finally sing-along to your favorite song. Yes ma’am, we’ve posted some lyrics.

We’ve received many a request from fans who are looking for the lyrics of their favorite songs. You know we listen to you guys, so we’ve spend an afternoon copy/pasting and created a lyrics page for some of our artists. We’ll be working on the other ones, but for now you can sing a long with these guys:

Well you know the format by now. An international act and a Dutch act. As eclectic as can be. Often presented by a different theme. With artwork by Sacha van den Haak (a.k.a. the Host). Well here’s another edition coming up! It’s going to be awesome!

Alarma Man and Sanchez, the Devil & the Hieropha

Alarma Man sounds like a mercilessly harsh Swedish precision bomb. Somewhere between Drive Like Jehu, Don Caballero and Fugazi! And they look like this!

The Black Atlantic guys enjoyed some well deserved time off in America after a hectic first half of 2010 filled with touring, touring and then some more touring. Geert revisited the cabin in upstate New York with his wife and baby girl where ‘Reverence…’ was recorded. Stef went on a big hiking trip with his girl while Kim locked himself up in another cabin to work on his solo project. Doesn’t get any better then this!

Or does it?

drum-roll please! Uhm, well, actually a whole bunch of artists are nominated, but the good news is The Black Atlantic is one of them. ‘One of what?’, you might be thinking. One of the lucky 12 artists to be nominated for the 3voor12 Award ‘Best Dutch Album 2010′!

That’s right, their debut album ‘Reverence for Fallen Trees’ keeps doing great things and stands a chance to be picked out as a winner during the ceremony in Desmet, Amsterdam on September 9th. There’s gonna be some voting by the public as well, so we’ll be asking for your help soon enough. For now, head over to 3voor12 where you can stream all the nominated albums for the lovely amount of zero euro’s.

And while we’re talking about The Black Atlantic, we might as well drop their USA dates for the coming week. Start your dropping…..NOW:

18.07.2010 – US – Chicago, IL @ Chopin Theatre
20.07.2010 – US – St. Louis, MO @ The Lemp Neighborhood
23.07.2010 – US – Denver, CO @ Denver Post Underground Music
25.07.2010 – US – Toledo, OH @ Ottawa Tavern
26.07.2010 – US – Cleveland, OH @ tba

I guess it’s safe to say that My Bubba & Mi left Europe heart broken when they returned to Copenhagen last may after their six week tour. We totally understand that, but after a little rest the girls are fully charged again and will soon embark on this years second European trip! First they’ll head back to Italy from July 23 till August 6 to play some summer festivals. After that they will move up north to hit the Benelux and Germany. Dates will be announced soon, but for now we’ll stick with the announcement that the band will play Into the Great Wide Open on September 4 on a Dutch island called Vlieland. The GWO has probably one of the prettiest festival locations in Europe and with bands like Modest Mouse, Wolf Parade, Nurses, The Tallest Man On Earth and The Whitest Boy Alive rocking the bill this can only lead to a stunning weekend.

So to round things up. If a) is what My Bubba & Mi feels like and b) is what Vlieland looks like, that would mean we are looking at a perfect match! Let’s hope tonights match will be just as perfect! Hup! Holland! Hup!
