SPEEDBALL JR "Caramba!"

LIVE DATES December, 29 2007 at Little Devil Tilburg, Nederland February, 22 2008 at W2 Den Bosch, Nederland May, 1 2008 at JH Aurora Borgloon, Belgium ************************************************************** Hi Mike, The release was a big succes! We gave a good concert with 2 dancers instead of one, and we had a Bettie Page projection behind us! The support act went down good as well and the afterparty kept going on till the early hours! At one moment during our gig, they had to close the doors of the club and cafe because the place got to crowded! The club itself has a capacity of 300 and the bar attached to it another 150. All the best for the New Year and let 2007 be a successful year for this new CD! Alexandra Speedball JR

Speedball JR consists of Fr.74 on guitar, Beatgirl AleXandra on Bass, Freaky Frank on drums, El Gonk on Hammond and Sleazy Sandra as gogo girl. The band was formed in the summer of 2000 during Ghents (surfcity Belgium) famous surf explosion. They originally played more traditional surf rock like Dick Dale, Bobby Fuller Four, The Chantays, Ghastly Ones, Surfaris, the Ventures, Lively Ones and Blue Hawaians. You can hear these influences on their first studio session which was recorded at the end of 2000 at Peter De Veires yellow tape studio. Later on they developed a more trashy sound with more garage and sixties influences and started to write their own tunes. Some of which were even used for publicity clips and for soundtracks by a local cinema chain and a German hot rod magazine.
