Helllo all,

Exciting news! On July 5th my former band Mitch will do a one-off reunion show at Studio 195 in Wernhout. It's a private party, but I thought I'd share it with you anyway..

A little history lesson...

Mitch were around from 1997 to 2002. We had three songwriters in the band (Gerton, guitar & vox, Mitch, bass & vox and me, guitar & vox) and our very own producer (Patrick, drums & vox). Studio 195 was our HQ and the place we first met while working on separate projects. Gerton & I had been in BPA together before that, so we already knew each other.

We shared a love for other, ehm, dysfunctional bands such as The Replacements and Hüsker Dü and ended up combining our strengths (and weaknesses!) in Mitch. It was a great little rock 'n roll band... We released two albums (The Sound of Music and Razzle Dazzle) and one vinyl 7" (Seven of Nine). We recorded a third album that never saw the light of day because we broke up. After Patrick left, we stumbled on with a replacement drummer for a few more months but we called it quits in the Spring of 2002. 

I had a great time with Mitch. We did a lot of shows, tours with The Cords and The Travoltas, as well as great support slots for Grandaddy, Centro-Matic, Soulwax, Racoon, Supersub and our piece de resistance: Noorderslag '99. That was supposed to be our big breakthrough. But we fucked it up. Well, I did, anyway.

If you're interested in hearing some Mitch stuff, check the sales bin in your local record store (I regularly come across discount copies of Razzle Dazzle), or drop me a line. I'm sure I can whip up a neat Mitch compilation for ya.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to playing with these guys again. It'll be a blast.

Stefan
