G-fest II coming up
As said in an earlier post, we'll be playing at G-Fest II on November 3rd, just before headliner Crystal and we've got some damn good reasons why you should not miss this gig:
first of all, Alex will be in the country for a couple of days (see previous posts), so he will be able play this gig right before he flies back to Iceland. It may be a while until you can see him perform with EJECT again.
We have a more than an hour to fill, and we've taken organiser Ludo's numerous hints into account: besides a limited selection of evergreens, we've agreed on blowing no less than 5 unreleased tracks your way, 4 of which have never even seen the stage before.
Furthermore, the organisation has produced a well-balanced line-up, with some bands we really like ourselves. You won't get bored, that's for sure
For more info + poster we refer to the G-Fest page in our top-friends list
An Alex for an Alex
a while ago we announced that Alex had accepted an invitation for a 2 year post-doc in Iceland, and now (sound the bells!) we've figured out a way to temporarily replace him.
friend-of-the-band and
Zero Gravity guitarist
Alex Vanhaesendonck has agreed to replace our own Alex during
his 2 year absence (starting October). We all know LexZG very
well, so we avoid the risk of taking a complete stranger on
board + Lexeject will be able to reclaim his place when he
returns (if he ever returns at all: we doubt if he'll ever grow
tired of having Scandinavian pussy for breakfast ;-)
Of course we hope that we can make this work without interfering
with Zero Gravity's activities.
New logo & look
W
ebsite and Myspace have been completely restyled. We wanted a more modern look and decided to chuck away the old logo "while we're at it".Thanks to Dirk from Harbinger Design
Sitting around for two years poking our noses is not an option, and neither is a split-up. We're gonna do everything we possibly can to find a temporary bassist to fill the space until Alex returns and defrosts, but we also know that this formula may not be all that appealing to a potential new member, and that we may have no choice but to replace Alex definitively. We still have about eight months to figure this one out, so we'll certainly keep you informed...
Interested bass players can always contact us, the sooner the better!
We got a very nice present from Santa this year: our very own rehearsal room! We had the oppurtunity to rent a double garage box from Damien's parents at a very reasonable rent rate (for which we are very thankful) and we isolated the whole shebang ourselves, which took a lot of sweat and even more cash...
the advantages of our new home, compared to the old little basement, are numerous: we no longer have to sit on each others laps during rehearsals, the height of the ceiling enables us to stand up straight, we can rehearse whenever the fuck we want, we don't have to drag our equipment down the narrow and treacherous stairs anymore at night after a gig, and most importantly: we no longer have to be seen entering a kindergarten once a week.
Many new songs have already been written, and we hope to share 'em with you on stage as soon as possible
In November 2006, EJECT finally decided to join Myspace, because we didn't wanna miss out on all the true and everlasting bonds of warm friendship that seem to be forged there *LOL*. seriously, we just wanted to have all 4 tracks from The Mirrror Cold easily accessible, and www.myspace.com/ejectmetal seemed to be the perfect tool for that. Allen daarheen dus...
November also concluded the shopping spree that almost bankrupted guitarists Damien & Johan and bassist Alex :). Both guitarist have almost always played on Jackson (Soloist and Kelly), but have now each added an ESP to their gear. Johan bought his ESP EX earlier this year and Damien purchased a ESP Eclipse 2 weaks ago, while Alex has been the proud owner of a Yamaha John Myung RBXJM2 for almost a year now. pictures of some boys with new toys comin' up!
November 18th marked the end of our 2006 gig schedule (unless something else pops up). More gigs will follow in 2007!
next gig: Doendersfest (october 21st)
friends.
On Sunday March 19th we'll be playing in Het Muziekcafé in Kerkrade in Holland (near Maastricht). This will be the first foreign gig in our history, and also the first concert featuring the complete Eject-ZeroGravity-BeforeSilence package. The line-up will be completed by Downstroy, a local band. We know that due to the date (sunday evening) and the distance, many people from our home base will be reluctant to come and see us. For those who do want to tag along, just let us know. We'll try to get you on board of one of the eject-cars.
More information soon on the concert-page
2005 has been good to the band. Armin, who joined in 2004, has proven to be a great asset, live as well as on the "The Mirror Cold", which we gave birth to this year. We also did some great gigs, for example Metalloween @ Blauwe Kater. We have also written a handful of new stuff: some of you may already have seen us play our new thrash metal anthem "Bias Fear" (aka "De Vette") live a couple of times. But we've also got some pretty experimental shit coming your wayz...
Needless to say that EJECT-rehearsals have been rare these pas few weeks. Satan is a really cool guy, but he can kiss our freakin' buttocks this time of year, 'cause we're remembering the birth of baby Jezus by shoving as much food, beer and wine down our throats as we possibly can. But don't worry: once we've all visited our grand-mothers and recieved all our presents we will continue to terrorize christianity and ritually slay priests all over the land...
y'all have a fantabulous 2006, may it be kinder to humanity than 2005 was.
Metalen groeten,
Los Ejectos
One thing though: the guys who organised this evening never expected Metalloween to be such a succes (I think nobody did), so De Blauwe Kater was rap stampensvol and a lot of people had to be denied access for safety reasons. Some people were asking us if we could somehow get them in, but we really couldn't help them. We feel sorry for those who came all the way to see EJECT or another band and never got in, but it wasn't our fault (it wasn't anybody's fault really)...
Thanks to everybody who came and to the other bands!
Anyhow, it will be our maiden concert within the boundaries of Brussels City, so we hope to see a lot of people there!!!
Because some of the EJECT-members have to attend a festival in Holland that begins that same evening, we'll be playing first, followed by Before Silence and Breathstealer. More details on the poster...
We can also proudly announce that we'll be playing with IN-QUEST (and others) on October 31st, @ the Halloween Fest in Leuven. More details 'bout that soon!
