100th gig and more
Hello everyone,

We want to welcome you to our new website. Here and there we still have some problems, but this will be fixed soon. We hope you like it.

Last friday we played at 'Total Music' in Schiedam where we celebrated our 100th gig. It was great to see so many familiar faces. This was the evening when we told everyone that Michiel is going to leave us for 6 months to study in America. We wish him all the best and we hope that they will treat our 'handsome boy' well.
We had a couple of special guests playing with us that evening and we want to thank them for everything:
Nienke (vocals), Joop (keyboard), Natascha (1st singer of AND), Norbert (guitar) and Mike (growls/grunts and them some).
Norbert and Mike are the ones who will temporarily replace Michiel when he's gone to the US. More about them will be put online soon.
As was told on stage we also want to thank the people who are always there for us:
Mirjam (merchandise), Hans (sound), Dennis (light), Kennard (sound), Maurits (sound), Marcel (guitar roadie), Nicole (make-up artist) and of course Egbert for making our new site.

And of course we want to thank all of you who are supporting us and keep cheering us on. We love you all for that and we hope that we will keep seeing eachother for the next 100 gigs to come and many, many more.
We had a very good evening and we hope you did too.

Last saturday we played at 'The Underground' in Lelystad. We played with 'Slipstream' and 'Chiraw'. It was a great evening and our last gig of 2009.

For now there aren't a lot of gigs planned because we are busy making a new EP, get the boys in shape to replace Michiel, writing new material for our 2nd album wich is planned to be released in the fall of 2010. A lot of more stuff is happening, but we will keep you posted on that. 

So please keep checking our site, leave a comment in our new guestbook and we will see eachother again soon.
 
December 18th 2009: The100th show (update)
It’s amazing how time flies, when you’re having fun! On December 18th, we will be celebrating our 100th show! We will celebrate the event on the same place where the very first A New Dawn show (way back in the day, when A New Dawn was still a project) took place: Total Music in Schiedam. Other bands performing this evening are Magion and Encorion.

We will try to make it a special show. All visitors will receive a free 12 page booklet with a lot of pictures from the A New Dawn career. Also, there will be guest performances and we will play music, that has not been played for a LONG time. 


Because we want to celebrate this event WITH you, we want to ask you to tell us what you would like to see happening this evening. We are now planning the show, but there is still room for YOUR INPUT. So, if there is a song that you think must definitely be played, or if there is a previous band member, that you think MUST perform… let us know. We will try to meet with as many requests as possible, so that we can make this night a night to remember! Write down your ideas and suggestions and mail them to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and we will do our best to make it happen. We definitely look forward to this show and hope to make it a special night for you and with you! See you in Schiedam!

Updates:
( 23-11-2009) It's about one month before showtime and we are working hard on the preparations. We have checked the ideas from you and hope to be able to make many of your wishes come true. The booklet is almost finished now and will be printed shortly. Music-wise, we are working on some very cool stuff. Because it is our 100th show, we will be playing music from the entire A New Dawn carreer: past, present and future. This will mean, that besides some familiar tracks, you will hear some music, that has been kept in the closet for a long time and also some new material. Details on the music and the special guests will be kept a surprise for now, so if you're curious, come see the band play in Schiedam on December 18th!

(14-12-2009) One more week to go before the aniversary show! We picked the songs and it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun! Besides the music, we have some nice surprises for you.

First of all, there will be the free booklet with tons of pictures from the band's history. Furter, we are happy to announce that we will have new t-shirts!!!
We received the shirts last Friday and they look awesome! The "Falling From Grace" t-shirts have now sold out, so it was time to think about new shirts. The shirts will show a brand new A NEW DAWN logo. The shirts will be on sale for the first time during the aniversary show.

So, the countdown has begun! We hope to see you all in Schiedam next Friday, December 18th!
