This weekend (friday) we’ll be playing in Atak, Enschede. It’s our last gig for the Popronde this year.
It’s been a fairly hectic couple of weeks for us Ollies. We’ve been working through quite a lot of shows in Germany and Holland and we had some great times with an awfull lot of good people.
Like the men from ClubSKA, Radio Duisburg, with whom we did a radio-interview. Or this guy Leo in Eibergen who, out of the blue gave us a very special plant to take home as a souvenir from the woods.
Talking about unreal experiences…
We had two serious candidates for the “Ollie Q. & The Deep Six Fan Of The Month Oktober”competition, Ulla and Olli.
So far it looked like Olli is definitely favorite to become Fan Of The Month, according to all the guestbook- entries we received lately.
And who are we to argue with that? Look at him: He’s got all the handsome qualities it takes te be a winner ain’t he?
But still, there will allways be others. Maybe even more handsome, more devoted… Like this friendly young student in Boslust, Utrecht who was wearing a black Ollie Q. T- shirt and somehow knew most of our ollie-songs by heart.
Unfortunately, we don’t know his name. If he might be choosen to become “Ollie Q. & The Deep Six Fan Of The Month Oktober”, it’s going to be hard to send him the “Ollie Q. Fan-Surprise Box” So, anyone who can tell us more about this young man, please let us know…

Thursday, October 6th, 2005Just like every month our Ollie Q. Street Team decides on who might be the lucky one to be chosen as the”Ollie Q. & The Deep Six Fan Of The Month”
For this month we allready have two serious candidates to join the competition.
First we got Ulla, a dedicated Olliefan our Street Team caught working in a drugstore somewhere in Nijmegen while she was scaring away customers with her copy of “Waking Up Dead”
But now we also have Olli (Yes, that’s his real name!) from Osnabrück, also crazy about
Ollie Q. & The Deep Six.
Wondering who will end up to be “Ollie Q. & The Deep Six Fan Of The Month Oktober”? Ulla or Olli ?
Or do you know any other candidates our Ollie Q. Street Team needs to concider?
Let us know exactly what you think… write the book.
Having Flys?
Tuesday, October 4th, 2005Well, “Times fun when you’re having flys”. Getting ready for a few more shows in Germany this weekend after just returning from the area this past Sunday.
Sometimes it is hard to tell reality from fiction and the more we travel the more unreal our experiences seem to be. Next week will be using “All terrein” vehicles and carrying a few weeks rations to get to the gig because we never know what awaits us. So without too much detail, because you would not believe it all even if we told the whole story. In fact we find it hard to believe ourselves. So let me talk about what we know is real.
On september 11 we play at the Easy Smokers Lounge in Rotterdam, which was probably our best gig in September, though WE played well at all gigs, but playing is just a portion of gigging. On September 23 our friend Tjeerd got to play with the dispicable 5 much more then he had expected in Maastricht and it was good. Last Sunday we got to play at WESTWERK, Osnabrück, a gig we had been waiting and waiting for,.. really excited. The show, the club and the people were great thanks to allska for making it possible. And thanks to the Keymaster that finally set us free Sunday morning 
. One more , thanks again Los Placebos for letting Rolfi play with us again.
You can never be too thankful these days. Because who knows who will have to save you next week.
