ANTILLECTUAL 25y! March 6, 2003: playing with AGAINST ME! in Den Bosch.

This week in 2003 we played with Against Me! at De Overdosis squat in Den Bosch! Booked by our friend Thomas (who still does a lot of our artwork), it must have been AM!'s first euro tour, as... read on at antillectual.com/25y

Antillectual Antillectual from Nijmegen, the Netherlands plays a socially conscious, melodic blend of music, ranging from ‘90’s skate punk to ‘00’s emo and ‘10’s orgcore. Creating their own unique blend of stolen riffs and borrowed song titles, while carrying the torch of European punkrock.

BandCamp is the most artist friendly platform. On BandCamp Fridays they even waive their fees and ALL proceeds go to bands/artists. We'd like to point this out once again as it is BandCamp Friday TODAY!

Our first upcoming show will finally bring us back to Rotterdam! We played the legendary Poortgebouw in 2001/2002/2005, Waterfront in 2008 and Baroeg in 2018.

When we decided to make the ANTILLECTUEEL EP in Dutch we thought it only made sense if we combined it with some shows in the Netherlands. Now that people enjoy the EP and the shows, things are getting a little out of hand! More shows added, all with fun lineups 🔥🖤

ANTILLECTUAL 25y! February 20, 2004: Our first tour ever!

Our first real tour, meaning multiple shows abroad, was four shows in Italy in February 2004. We played a one-off show in Bremen with an Italian band called Nervi who enjoyed our set and invited us to Italy... read on at antillectual.com/25y

CANADIA! Can’t wait to return

CANADA TOUR

You already know we’re playing Pouzza Fest in Montreal in May, now it’s time to announce most of the shows we’ll be doing around it! We’re teaming up with our Czech friends from KRANG for 10 days in Quebec and Ontario.
More shows coming 🔥🖤

As a DIY band it's hard to get shows out there (and hard for us individually to find shows around us to visit). FB events used to be pretty ok for that, but FB's functionality (and morality) has gone done the drain.

Who knows, this might become the new punx.nl...

For Dutch shows there's a new platform at calendar.askapunk.nl! Find shows you like and GO! The only way to make this work is when it's as complete as possible, so bands and promoters, make sure to add your shows there, DIY! And for those riding it, there's RSS fiets available 🚴‍♀️

20 years of Riekus

ANTILLECTUAL 25y: February 8, 2018!

The LOUD & RISING TOUR with Green Lizard and This Means War. This was definitely an interesting one, putting a grunge band, an oi band and us on one bill, but it worked out well! We'd never really done a "Dutch tour" before, and... read on at antillectual.com/25y

Thanks for reviewing! How's the Dutch coming along? 😀

ANTILLECTUAL 25y: February 1, 2002!

Feb 1st 2002 marks the first (ominous) lineup change. When we started playing shows we knew Pieter wouldn't be able to commit 100% to play bass with us. His first band Last To Go was busy and he just started studying in Delft. A...
