You might have read the following in the latest City Trash and gotten very excited:

HET COMBO & KURIOSA JOIN FORCES
After working together on the garden and preparing the big move of Kuriosa boss to Spain, Kuriosa Records and Het Combo Koedijk are happy to anounce their next project. It will be a 4 song EP with of course their classics “Te lui om voor de duvel te dansen” and “Touren met Alfred Nooij”. The other 2 songs will remain a secret, but rumours has it, it concerns 2 other classics. Working title of the release is “Donderjagen met het Combo Koedijk” and will be out during this summer, most likely after the bouwvak. t´s going to be a limited affair, probably a 100 copies will see the light, so act quick, you might even consider ordering your copy now. Of course for this it´s best to contact these schavuiten from het Drentse Land.

It´s a big shame, but unfortunately this summer it is not going to happen, probably later this year. The recordings should be finished during the bouwvak. The good thing is they will appear along side THE KRONTJONG DEVILS on stage Thusrday 19th of august of course in the back garden of Clouso in Meppel. Entrance is free.

At least the video has been ready for some time now:

Touring with Alfredo Nooij

Obviously we had some questions for the driver
of this short trip across the whole of Spain,
a man who already has a song named after him,
Alfred Nooy.
How was touring with De Keefmen in Spain?
Well touring with De Keefmen was a great
experience that only lasted 5 days. Every night
De Keefmen played a show. the bar or club was
rocking, the people in Spain like De Keefmen.
And I have to say the people in Spain I met
were very gentle and hospitable, like Raul and
his wife for offering us a sleeping place, and
Koko the record-label boss for arranging the
concert in Zaragoza. Next time De Keefmen
should tour Spain at least 10 to 14 days.
How is driving in Spain?
Spain is a very beautiful and big country, we
drove from Madrid to Zaragoza (heading to the
North East) and then to Orihuela (Southwards
near Alicante) and back to Madrid again.
We saw different kinds of landscapes, so from a
geographical point of view I found driving
through Spain very interesting. What also
amazed me was that, contrary to the
Netherlands, in Spain there isn't much traffic
(not counting Madrid). That was very relaxed.
And the food? Hamburgers or something
different?
If you like food, like me, Spain is a very good
choice to spent your time or to emigrate to.
They eat four or five times during one day.
In holland you eat three times a day. This
means that I ate 67 percent more there. In
Madrid I ate a hamburger half the size of a cow.
I'm wondering what kind of hamburgers they
have in Hamburg?
Favorite song for on the road?
Great music while driving I think is music with a
country flavour. So let's say Travellin Band a
song from Creedence Clearwater Revival.
But also the song "land beyond the moon" from
the motions is for me a typical road song.
Favorite Keefmen song?
I'm thinking of two songs. Told you once, told
you twice and Sweet Doreen. The first song is
more rocking and fucked up than the second
one which is more a ballad.
