A blogspot blog about the Dutch sludge / doom / stoner metal band Starve. Een blog van de Nederlandse stoner / doom / sludge metal band Starve. Uit Nederland (ook wel the Netherlands) dus.
Our homeboys in Fire Walk With Us will be releasing their split with Izah next week. They asked us to bring down the house before they play, so that they can dance on the ruins of the venue.
SO COME AND BANG YOUR HEAD AGAINST THE WALL LIKE YOU NEVER DID BEFORE!
In other news, we recorded two earth-shattering songs for our upcoming split with Agathocles. Once mixing and mastering is done we'll post something online. Stay tuned for that.

Things may seem a little quiet right now, but we have some things up our sleeve.
First of all, next weekend we will be recording two songs for an upcoming split with Belgian mincecore maniacs Agathocles. One new song, one cover song. More info on that coming soon.
Second, we are heading back to Scotland in April and this time we'll cruise through the rest of the UK too. If you want to book us, please get in touch. We still have some available dates.
Third, we will be playing with Hyperborean doom warriors CONAN and Dresden / Leningrad at the Winston Kingdom in Amsterdam in February.
That is all. Now put on one of these records:

We had a great time at the DUTCH DOOM DAYS. Good food too. Thanks to everyone who showed up early and watched our show.
Our next show is at the Manifesto in Hoorn:

Come and bang your head against the stage like you never did before.

Our next show will be at the OCCII in Amsterdamned with Monotonos and Switchblade:
That's all for now. We'll probably be recording some new tunes soon, so be ready for that.

Well, it seems miracles still happen. Our split 12" with Terzij de Horde has arrived. Finally.
Check out this pic of the clear or 'crystal meth' vinyl here. Sorry, no blue meth, the cook at the record plant isn't THAT good.
The record release show is Sunday the 16th of September at the ACU in Utrecht with Badger Records labelmates Terzij de Horde and Ortega, and the line-up is completed by the Hyperborean warriors of CONAN.
However, we can understand if you do not want to wait any longer for this gem so you can also pick up a copy at our Incubate festival show earlier that day (at the Little Devil, Tilburg) or... You can order a record directly from us!
Just drop us a line at ilovestarve@gmail.com and we'll sort you out.

Rumour has it that our split with Terzij de Horde will be arriving at the Badger Records field outpost today. Who knows, it might actually be true this time.
To celebrate this we have planned two shows in one day - the 16th of September.
The first show will be at the Incubate festival and needless to say we are pretty stoked to be playing there:
After that we will be racing back to Utrecht to make an appearance at CRY ME A BADGER FEST at the ACU:
After the great time we had in Scotland we can only hope that these shows will be as cool...

Unfortunately our split 12" with Terzij de Horde will not be available during our shows in Scotland. However, you can now listen to all three of our songs (and the TDH song) on the new Badger Records bandcamp! While you're at it, you can order the split there too!
Two hours of Eyehategod was amazing last night. My ears are still ringing. Thanks to everyone that showed up, banged their heads, bought our shit and talked to us in a drunken mix of English and German. Awesome Scheisse.
Next up, SCOTLAND!
As mentioned before we will be playing Incubate this year, on Sunday the 16th of September. We will have to do some meticulous planning and high-speed driving (unless someone has a spare flux capacitor that we can borrow) because on the same day we also have a tentative release show planned for the split with Terzij de Horde (The third time is a charm, hopefully...) at CRY ME A BADGER FEST. Apart from Starve and Terzij de Horde, our labelmates Ortega will also be playing. The show will be headlined by the barbarian warriors of CONAN (UK)!
For us, there is no summer. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm.

Confirmed shows so far:
23.08.12 Bar Bloc+, Glasgow 24.08.12 The Moorings Bar, Aberdeen 25.08.12 Flanagan's Bar, Elgin 26.08.12 Need help!
If anyone can help us out with a show on Sunday 26.08 please drop us a line on Facebook or through ilovestarve@gmail.com
Also, we will be supporting Eyehategod in Köln on Sunday the 12th of August.
If you live near Amsterdam, and/or love punk, hardcore or grind, you should really go to the last Lärm show at the OCCII in Amsterdam tomorrow.
If, for some reason, you cannot make it there but happen to feel the need to bang your fucking head to some groovy metal instead, come to this show:
Unfortunately, our split with Terzij de Horde will still not be available at that show.
The good news is that we will be playing a show with them at the ACU in Utrecht soon.
In other related news, we are working on a weekend tour of Scotland. If you can help us out with that, drop us a line at ilovestarve@gmail.com while banging your head to this:
We are thrilled to announce that we will be playing at the longest running doom metal festival in Europe: the Dutch Doom Days!
Starve will be playing on October 21st with Celestial Season, Gorilla Monsoon and Poema Arcanvs.
We are also working on some small tours, but in the meantime get in touch to book us for your venue, living room, squat, basement, retirement home or caravan.

p.s. no solid news on a release date for the split with Terzij de Horde yet.
Attention all zombie lovers! Last year, we were lucky enough to be part of the filming of an incredible zombie movie project called Il Campeggio dei Morti Viventi. The director of the movie even created an awesome video for our song 'This Town is Dead' using footage of the movie. You can check it out here:
Since this is a 'no-budget' zombie movie, all the money comes straight from the cast & crew - and unfortunately, they still need a bit more to be able to finish the movie. So they need our, and your, help.
If you love zombie movies, or if you love Starve, and have some money you can spare (and have Paypal) send some to ilovestarve@gmail.com and in the subject or message body let us know that it is for Il Campeggio. We will make sure that the money gets to the creators of the movie. Any amount is appreciated!
- STARVE
p.s. If you want to do a bank transfer instead get in touch with us.
Next Friday, Starve will be playing at a benefit for a squat in Utrecht. Other bands are Kezus Krijst and the notorious Drugsmokkel featuring PJ AKA The Silent Driver. Great dude.
After that we only have one more show planned for this year, so get in touch to book us.

p.s. Integrity was fucking awesome last night. Everyone was turning, everything was circling - there is no reality.

Unfortunately, the split with Terzij de Horde has been delayed for now. No news yet on when it will be coming out, but it should be soon. When it does come out, it will be suitably celebrated with a release show, probably somewhere in Utrecht. Keep your eyes open for that. In the meantime, you can still stream it online (see this post).
Also, be sure to come to this show, we will be playing with Rot in Hell, Integrity, Deathrite and Hessian. A very international line-up:
We are working on some trips into uncharted territories (for us), but in the meantime we are always looking for shows, so get in touch if you want to book us. We will bring our own supply of earplugs.
The gentlemen over at LURKER'S PATH are the first to have a stream of the upcoming STARVE / TERZIJ DE HORDE split 12". Check out their review and the stream, or listen to it directly below.
