GET THE NEW ALBUM

FREE SHOW! (23.07.2008)

We're goin' down to Moessingen this weekend for the 25th annual Umsonst & Draussen festival. We played there in 2001 and it was a great show, so we're really looking forward to it. Our show time is 22:50, so make sure to wear your drinking shoes. ***** Big thanks to everyone in Coburg who came out to the Outside Rodeo last Saturday, you guys were great. We played every song we know, plus one we didn't know, but hey, what can you expect when you play after the Jaegermeister Girls? ***** New shows will be announced shortly, watch this space! ***** Roll on, big thunder, roll on.... Nick

HOLD FAST (11.06.2008)

Brothers & Sisters… it’s been a while! Apologies for the long wait between updates- unfortunately our house was broken into, and our computer along with all our other valuables was stolen. That means that until we can get a new computer, we only have limited Internet access. Also, we can’t access MySpace from our work computers, so we’re way behind on that area. Thanks for your patience, hopefully we’ll have a new one soon.***** The other big news is that Martin has unexpectedly left the band, meaning we had to cancel several shows in May and June. Our apologies to all the promoters, clubs, and everyone who was planning on attending the shows- his departure was completely without warning, and the time was too short to find someone to fill in. We are currently working with a new guitarist, and he’ll be making his debut this Saturday in Rastatt at the Art’n’Action Open Air (see SHOWS for more info- we play at 17:00).***** Keep on keepin’ on, and hope to see ya at the shows…. Nick

3 IS A MAGIC NUMBER... (04.03.2008)

Not only is March the 3rd month of the year, but we have 3 great shows lined up for you this month, including two hometown shows.... First, this Friday is the annual MSGR fest at the Forum der Jugend in Mannheim. 5 bands for 4 euros, can't beat it!.... Then, two weeks later in Wiesbaden, we'll be at the "Kids Strike Back Festival, Vol. 2" with some great bands and a killer niter that's sure to end in drunken foolishness.... To top off the month, we're playing on the 2nd day of the "NEVER SURRENDER FESTIVAL" at the 7er-Club in Mannem. Check under GIGS for all the great bands that are playing there, baby!.... We'll have a cool new t-shirt and buttons this week courtesy of wunderkind Goetzilla (rockposter.de), so make sure to check out the Merch Stand at the shows and say hi.... Also making their debut this month will be one or two new songs that we've been working on.... We're working on summer plans right now, stay tuned for some surprises.... Thanks for your never-ending support and see ya at the shows!

KICKIN' ASS FOR THE DRINKIN' CLASS... (16.01.2008)

Thanks to everyone that came out for the holiday shows over the last few weeks (greetings to the Worms-Fraktion), they were off the hook! It was a great way to end a great year, and we can't thank you enough for all the support you've shown us. 2008 is already shaping up to be a great year (thanks to everyone in Rastatt and Saarbruecken), so take care and we'll see ya at the shows!!!

DANKE!!! (07.11.2007)

Okay, we've finally recovered from the Hallowen party last week and wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone that came out for the show! It was definitely the best Halloween party we've ever had- nonstop singalongs, dancing and drinking from start to finish. As always, you guys are really the fourth member of Loaded.******* Also, special thanks to THEM for a kick-ass show (We Are 138!) and to Anke for DJing. And thanks to everyone that came in costume- I think that was the most costumes we've ever had at a Halloween party.******** Bernd took pictures as usual, and you can check them out here: http://yossarian.pytalhost.com/ ****** The punks from Team Trash also shot photos, check 'em here: http://www.team-trash.de/component/option,com_gallery2/Itemid,63/?g2_itemId=33241 ******* There's also a nice review of the show at Regioactive: http://www.regioactive.de/story/5875/loaded_live_at_halloween.html ****** See ya soon- the road goes on forever...

2 TAGE NOCH... (29.10.2007)

Halloween kommt! Brauchste noch ein Kostüm? Check mal Deko Büchele (Q5, 11) in Mannem. See ya in the graveyard!

HALLOWEEN IS COMING... (22.10.2007)

...better get yer costumes ready! One more week dann iss es soweit... Details under GIGS. ***** Check out the latest reviews of "Hold Fast" at Enough Fanzine (http://www.enoughfanzine.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=2caab72a9b6b97b28a3e103389a640b1&rID=1814&view=reviews_music_detail), and at Crazy United (http://www.crazyunited.de/?page_id=5). Or, if you can read Italian, Marco from Klasse Kriminale reviewed the new album at Negatron, a fancy Italian rock webzine (http://www.negatron.it/content/view/19705/). Bella! ******* Blast from the past: here's a video clip of us playing "Skeleton Crew" at Berlin's Aposkalypse Festival in 2002. It was one of Martin's very first gigs with us, and was also Jesse's last gig: http://www.aposkalypse.de/video_loaded.html ****** RIP Paul Fox of The Ruts and David Fuentes of Hepcat, two musicians who were a big influence on us. ****** See ya on Halloween- stay spooky, kids...

UPDATE (02.10.2007)

First of all, BIG BIG THANKS to everyone who came to the show at Juz Mannheim. What an incredible night, with nonstop singalongs, dancing and stage invasions. It was the kind of gig that made us realize again why we play music. Thanks again, it really means a lot to us. BARMY ARMY RULES O.K.! Special thanks to the ARGIES, MARI & THE KRAUTS (great first show) and DOGGIRL for helping make the evening a success. Bernd has fotos at his page: http://yossarian.pytalhost.com/ ******Our last three LPs were recently featured in the "Mannem Uff Vinyl" exhibition, a retrospective of bands and musicians from or who spent a part of their career in Mannheim. It was mostly older acts like Joy Fleming and Caterina Valente, but our homeboys Achtung Spitfire Schnell Schnell were also included. If you missed the exhibition, there's a book covering the whole history of vinyl records in Mannheim. I think you can order it through nekk99.de. Respect to Goetzilla (rockposter.de) for all the fine artwork!******Coming this week on Mad Butcher Records is the "Skannibal Party Vol. 7" international ska sampler, featuring our song "Love Will Stand." We'll be getting some copies soon, so if ya want one, holla at ya boy. It'll cost 5 ois.*******HALLOWEEN PARTY: Coming up on 31.October at the Cafe Central in Weinheim is one of the oldest Loaded traditions (going back to when we first started). Special guests this year are THEM, a kick-ass MISFITS cover band. Sabine & Julia will provide all the cool decorations as they do every year, and I'm sure there will be other surprises planned for that night. After the show, I'll be DJing, so make sure to wear your drinking shoes. The show is on a Wednesday, but the next day is a holiday so there's no excuse not to miss it! Make sure to wear a costume- not only is it more fun when everyone is dressed up, but you pay less to get in. It's also our only show until December, because Martin is finishing up his diploma.*******See ya soon...

HOMETOWN THROWDOWN (14.09.2007)

Tomorrow night we're back home in Mannheim, playing at the Juz again (first time since March'06 w/Banda Bassotti). It's gonna be a wild wild night, so make sure to get their early- the bands start at 21:00. Special guests are THE ARGIES (77' punk & ska from Argentina), who we shared some fun gigs with in Italy a few years back, the debut gig of MARI & THE KRAUTS (yes, THAT Mari, plus Metulski, Janusch, and Hoeflich!), and fine punknroll from Weinheim's DOGGIRL. The alcohol will flow in rivers, the moon will be stomped, and the pogo will be a-go-go. Tonight we ride, goddamnit!*******Thanks to everyone who came out to the Nonstock Open Air last Saturday. We had a great time!

RETURN OF THE PACK (29.08.2007)

Ahoi! Hope everyone has had a great summer so far. Here at Loaded HQ we're getting ready to head back out on the road for the next few weekends.****** This Friday we're in Munich at the Backstage, and everyone who comes is on the guestlist. That's right, it's FREE, so you have more money for Jaegermeister (or a Loaded CD). We play at 21:00, so get there early. Russkaja and ALaSka play as well, and after the show there's a ska niter. On Saturday we're in Augsburg for the first time in like 8 or 9 years. The show is at the Mahagoni Bar in the Katakombe, and as far as I know we're the only band playing.********Next Saturday we're playing at the 10-year anniversary of the Nonstock Festival in Fischbachtal in the Odenwald. Loads of bands, drinking, camping, and other fun stuff all for a low price. Check their webpage for details (see GIGS).********We've got two big local shows coming up as well: 15.SEPTEMBER in the JUZ MANNHEIM, with our old friends the Argies, the first gig from Mari's band Mari & The Krauts (featuring Janusch, Hoeflich and Metulski, I think), and Doggirl. Come support the Juz and local bands! Then, on 31.OKTOBER, our annual HALLOWEEN PARTY at the CAFE CENTRAL in WEINHEIM returns. Start thinking of your costume now. More infos coming soon!!!*********Thanks to Kuba and the Mighty Sounds crew for the best festival ever! We really had a great time, and really recommend the festival to anyone looking for a fun trip next summer. 10,000 ska & punk fans can't be wrong! Also, if you're in the Czech Republic this summer, make sure to pick up the July/August issue of Filter (Czech's biggest music magazine) for a sampler of Mighty Sounds bands featuring Loaded, Peacocks, Flaming Cocks, Mad Sin, Slackers, & more. Sexy time!!!***********Okay, thanks for tuning in and thanks for your support. Konichi-wa, bitches.

MIGHTY SOUNDS! (12.07.2007)

New Album !! (14.03.2007)

Good morning neighbors,
We just posted a third track from our upcoming album "Hold Fast." The track ("All I Need") is also available with the new Plastic Bomb zine CD (issue #58).
The new album will be available from 16.03.

We just got our copies of the CD and LP and it looks and sounds fucking great. The LP is gatefold and is limited to 777 copies; the first 100 are on colored vinyl (Chucky and Rene- hab eure Kopies), so contact Dirty Faces soon if you're record collector scum like myself. Just a reminder: our Album Release Party/First Show After Babypause is coming up soon- Saturday, 24 March, at the Cafe Central in Weinheim (see the flier on our page for more details). It should be a wild party- people are coming from all over (well, Ireland and California anway). In addition to the new CD and LP, we'll have new t-shirts, patches, buttons and God knows what other crap for you to waste yer money on. Plus Currysau Kartell is playing. What more can you ask for from a Satuday night? Thanks for all the comments over the last months, it's great to hear from all of you. We try and write back as soon as we can, so please be patient with us if you don't hear from us right away. The road goes on forever, Loaded

Just a quick update... (09.02.2007)

Over the coming weeks we'll preview more of the new album, so check back regularly (shameless, I know). -The album is at the pressing plant as we speak, and will be released again in CD and LP format. The LP will come with a cool gatefold and is limited to 777 pieces, with the first 100 in colored vinyl. Artwork is once again by the mighty Goetzilla (rockposter.de). -Album Release Party is on Saturday, 24.03., at Cafe Central in Weinheim. It's also our first gig after the babypause, and some old bastard's birthday as well. Special guests are Currysau Kartell. We'll have new t-shirts and other crap that evening as well. Kauf den scheiss, alda! (www.cafecentral.de) -Tracks from the new album will be available on upcoming Plastic Bomb and Ox samplers, as well as the long-awaited Rhein-Neckar-Fuck sampler from pogoradio.de. -Gigs for the spring and summer are currently being organized, so stay tuned... -Our "other" webpage should be updated shortly as well.
