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.
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!

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.
Starve have recorded a video for the song ‘Hard to Forget’, off the upcoming split 12” ‘A Chosen Hollow’ with Terzij de Horde. This 12” should see the cold light of day early in 2012 and will be released by Badger Records.
Check out the video, directed by Mike D. of Dead Area fame, here:
