HEIDEROOSJES TAKE A BREAK!
posted on: 27-11-2009
At this moment Heideroosjes is nearly finished with a great 20 year anniversary tour. We played over 90 shows and celebrated the fact of being on the road for such a long time. We are proud we survived all those years without any line up changes and with a very loyal fanbase around the globe.
Looking to 2010 we felt we deserved a break. We still love touring, making albums and be part of the rock 'n roll circus. But we also strongly believe it's good -especially for an 'old' band like we are- to step out of the ring for some time. That's why we decided to take break for the year 2010.
Don't worry; in January 2011 Heideroosjes will be back in the ring. Recording a new album, doing a new tour. With fresh energy and full dedication.
Thanks for your support over the years and please check back on this site during 2010 because we'll put on some content every few weeks.
See you all in 2011! In the pit....!
Marco, Fred, Igor, Frank

goodbye 2008....hello 2009...20 years!
posted on: 17-12-2008
Another year is over... A year in which Heideroosjes broke the unwritten rules of punkrock and made a comedy-show. I remember the surprised faces when I first told people we wanted to do something completely different. Now, almost 70 succesful comedy-shows later, we convinced our supporters of the fact that a theatre-show can still have a punkrock feel. And yes, we're proud of that. Sometimes you have to break old rules and set new standards. So looking back at 2008 I want to thank everyone for supporting us.
What brings 2009? Well, a lot, actually. It's our 20 year anniversary! We'll kick off with rockshows in March and we'll release a double-album in May. Further details will follow half January but it's gonna be a very special album that's for sure. And of course we'll tour around the globe in 2009. I can't wait to be back on the road and visit all our friends all over the world. Damn... twenty years with the same four guys in one band. I think we deserve to be in the Guiness Book of Records haha. All those hours we've spent travelling in a van or a plane. All those waiting hours in smelly backstage-rooms. It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it! But serious; being in this band for 20 years is great. And we feel honored that we still mean something to a lot of people. So to all these fans who buy tickets to our shows, who wear our T-shirts and play our albums.... THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! We hope to see you all soon!

Heideroosjes tour with comedy show!
posted on: 04-03-2008
What the fu@k? A punkrockband doing a theatre-show? Well folks, that's right!
After 19 years of touring around the world, Heideroosjes wants do something completely new. Not forever, but just for a while. That's why we decided to make our own comedy theatre show!
Starting in September 2008 we will play 70 theatre shows in Holland and Belgium.
What can you expect? Of course Heideroosjes songs, some loud as hell, some re-arranged and unplugged. Besides music the band presents stand up comedy and other weird stuff.
We realize this is a side-step not every punkrock-fan might embrace :-)
But to us rock 'n roll is about searching for creative challenges and being excited when it comes to new experiences. So for those who don't like theatre/comedy/unplugged… don't worry; in 2009 the band celebrates 20 years of being together.
Of course a huge (and loud) anniversary tour will be part of that celebration! So.. see you in the pit (or in a seat later this year :-) !)

Heideroosjes on tour with Misfits (again)!
posted on: 14-01-2008
Heideroosjes planned a year with less tours. Last year was crazy and we decided a little break would be good. But that's not gonna happen! Legendary horrorpunks THE MISFITS asked Heideroosjes to join them on a new European tour. We toured with them in 2007 and that was a great trip. This year we'll support The Misfits from end of April till half May. All the dates will be announced on this website soon. People in Swiss, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Hungary and Chech Republic..... see you soon!!

Download new video 'United Tibet'
posted on: 29-07-2006
Heideroosjes re-wrote the song UNITED SCUM with Tibetan singer Loten. This benefit-song is called UNITED TIBET. The mix is done and we shot a video for it. The song handles about the violent oppression of the Tibetan people in their own country (China invaded Tibet years ago and is basicly destroying the unique culture of the Tibetan (budhist) people. The video will also be used as a 'teaser' for the annual Tibet-festival in Holland. Please also check www.ticketfortibet.com for more info about the Tibetan issue and the benefit-festival!
