As you all (should) know,

This bunch of inbreed wankers aka OOS has got some celebrating to do in 2010 since we celebrate our 15 years of existence + it's been 10 years since the release of our first official album 'For We Are'.

As you probably also know, we cannot save humanity as a whole ... HOWEVER, we do know how to party!

So we were thinking, why not start the year with a party in our hometown Dessel, more precisely at youthcentre JC SPIN (where we did a big part of growing up ourselves) and set up a special show for that occasion exclusively...

And so we just decided to play A DOUBLE SET that night!

The first set will be the entire 'For We Are'-album! From the first 'til the last song!
It's been years and years since we played many of those songs so this is quite a challenge for us personally!
Second set will be a regular one with a mixture of material.

MAKE SURE YOU'RE THERE TO WITNESS US GOING FLAT ON OUR FACES FOR A FULL CROWD :-) :-)

Quickly go to www.jcspin.be for info and reservations, 400 tickets available!!!

A shout to our Belgian AND foreign fans who want to join us on our trip to the US of A next year as this will be a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience for OOS and their hardcore followers!

Already half of the tickets are sold by now (with still a small year to go!) so make sure you get your tickets and reservations in time and party with us for a few days in September next year!
Go to www.progpowerusa.com on order them NOOOOOOWWWWW :-)  :-)

Hello followers,

Thought it might be a good idea to let you all know what's cooking in our kitchen these days since we've been rather silent these last couple of months. I guess you could say we kind of needed a short break from it all... After the recordings of TAOI we immediately got back to writing new material and I guess this may have been a bit too fast... Although the new songs we have written already are, again, the best stuff we've done so far, it still felt kind of soon and maybe even a bit pointless at that time... and so we decided to take it easy for a while. And we have to tell you: it felt kind of good and relaxing :-)

But I guess it's about time now we put the gloves back on our fists and get our asses back in the ring for another round of sheer musical madness!

We'll get back to writing the best new songs we can as of from now and at the same time we're already thinking about 2010 since we have quite a lot to celebrate next year!

In 2010 we'll be celebrating our 15th year of existence as a band and at the same time it's been exactly 10 years since our debut "For We Are" saw light! So I guess you could say this calls for some sort of celebration :-)

Nothing is set yet so if you happen to have any suggestions feel free to post them into the comments section below and share them with us.

Greetings,

OOS
