So that’s it for this year! We finished 2019 this week by playing with Sports Team (thursday, Forum, London) and Fat White Family (yesterday, Melkweg, Amsterdam). And what a crazy year this has been. We can’t thank everybody enough who worked so hard for and with us. You know who you are! XXX And thanks so much everyone else for supporting us, buying records, listening tunes and coming to gigs! It’s great to make friends around the world from Iceland to Mexico, from the UK to the USA, from Germany to Spain, from the Netherlands to the Czech Republic. Get an impression of our 2019 in this newsletter. See you next year! The Pips

Of course this was the year of Boat, our debut album. We released the 10 track album on the brilliant Heavenly Recordings on May 31th! And later in the year the legendary Burger Records released a cassette version.

It is special to hold your first album for the first time!
|
And this is crazy too: in the centre of London

This was Norwich, one of our 50(!) UK gigs this year

You never know if people are going to like your album. But luckily they did. See here a small selection of the reactions.

Wow! We played 108 shows in 12 countries in one year! Small venues, large halls, tiny festivals, huge events, new fans, old friends. These are the shows we’ve played divided per country: UK: 50 / NL: 26 / America: 11 / Germany: 6 / Belgium: 4 / France: 2 / Spain: 2 / Portugal: 1 / Iceland: 1 / Italy: 1 / Switzerland: 1 / Austria: 1 / Czech Republic: 1 / Mexico: 1. It was so much fun to travel the world, but the most special non festival gig was selling out the 800 capacity Scala in London.

Playing Glastonbury was a dream come true. The legendary festival was everything we hoped for. And more. It was more than special to be part of that event and play 3 gigs, one of them at the huge John Peel Stage.
