THE PAST SEPTEMBER UK IRELAND TOUR

Oh that was total fun!
Wish we could do this all over again (well I'm going back to sing with Anti-System and Migou is going to be there with Civilian Thrower, so I think we enjoied!)
In this tour we discovered many things. We knew that english punks nowdays are mostly so sweet ad we have some friends there, but indeed in the UK everybody's polite! And when they are pissed they are crazy!
Already as we arrived in Brighton to play with Bömber and Strenous, and see again Christine  and Jules (Missing the point records)of the Flue Sniffers, we get to know that finally, the Queen died! That was a match! I never saw so many happy punks and so many pissed off trolls on facebook as we announced it! Hilarious!

Than I fell in love with cider, I stopped drinking beer there, and I fell in love with Scotland too, those landscapes are gorgeous and their breakfasts vegan version are really my thing!
We had a lot of fun and we flew 3 days playing in Ireland, we found last minute Kim and Saturn, ready to help us in Sligo as Belfast canceled our show. So we found the Deadbeats and thanks to Alex we could have a show there! While  thnx to Clodagh of GRIT, we could play in 3 different cities and fly to Scotland!

So this was the poster, but Belfast got replaced with SLIGO :)

This tour ended in Chimpy Fest where we went one day before to see Siege and Dropdead, and also our friends of Travolta and Hetze. We had a blast there as well and we left to each resp. home until November where we had 3 shows in France, so that we could play again with Disaffect and see each other indeed XD

TAKING BACK THE BLOG

 I am so sorry, I am so ashamed I cannot keep up the blog and turning myself into a brainless insta and fb poster, even tough not that much as for me PC means work right now!
So Sorry, I will definitively ask my pals of the band to help me out on this blog! 

So last news we gave was tour with Interpunkce! That was haze indeed!

After that tour, I (Cristina) moved back to Florence so we didn't see each other for 2 months until we had to record the 5 songs for the split with PERSONA NON DATA one week before the UK IRELAND and SCOTLAND tour! and so we did! The album will be out april/may 2023 and it will stay a DIY LABELS co-operation guided by bands, helped by labels.

2 of the 5 songs are already online, ofc free to download, and nope not on spotify, (what you find on spotify ain't our song as it's easy to see, but if you never listened to us yet, it's easy to fall into the trap! The song on spotify is just my personal collaboration with Krav Boca and Marco of My Own Voice and the beat down song you are hearing, it's our friends "Krav Boca' 10K"s music :P)

LISTEN TO MATRAK ATTAKK'S ALBUMS HERE:

We also printed beautiful shirts, actually Py is, since I left he's doing all the merch alone and I feel workless, at least I should write the blog:
Look at this shirt, looks like a trendy hipster made it and we sold out not only to insta and fb but also to trends! but nope, it's Py that is becoming a great artist, I think people reacted positively anyway while I didn't trust the hype! XD

we have other shirts, in case you don't like 90s Javel trend : More Shirts as music is sold out!

I think that, to show you the past UK IRELAND TOUR, I should make a new post!

Tour with Interpunkce ended, next up : September 2022 UK Ireland and Scotland!

 

Souther Tour 2022 en cours!!!

 Thnx to Migou, the few followers of our blog will know that we are on tour right now!!

Thnx a lot for having us 🖤

BASQUE COUNTRY MINI TOUR 12-16 January 2022

 We are just back from this tour in Basque Country and it's such a pity it had to be so short, still we feel really lucky to have had 5/5 shows in this difficult period!

here the rest of the flyers.

NEXT UP :
12/3 FESTIVAL IN BELGIUM

18/3 30/4 TOUR IN ITALY and ISLANDS BALKANS SWITSERLAND GREECE and ISLANDS
More infos soon!

Mini tour belgium and France was without Migou nor Ripol, but was a blast XD

 Forgot to post here, as usual, still I feel that I should do it more and more, thats why I start again XD
Sometimes when you think you're doomed you really are, sometimes yu just have to fight XD
Our 2nd official bass player couldn't come to this tour, but as in Belgium people saw us mostly with 3 instead of 4 we just went. We had fun (and cold) anyway, and it was nice to see some  friends again :)
We had a show for supporting a benefit in Paris Vitry but there we really got doomed : we found a 3rd bass player but our Antoine blocked his backed just the day after the tour, and we had to cancel.
So our last show in 2021 was in Reims as we are going to travel seperatly (ahah for once) this december to rejoin each other in January 2022 for a mini tour of 5 days in Basque Country!
We are planning a Balkan, Italy and islands and Greece and islands tour as well for march april, but I hope it wont be too early in march.
We are invited in UK again and in Poland, that means some tours, ofc, covid permitting.

THANKS A LOT EVERYBODY THAT MADE THOSE 2 TOURS POSSIBLE

 Hi and sorry for the long silence on this platform. I had the feeling nobody was reading it and in those 2 tours, I met people that actually asked me about the blog and I felt like a idiot.
So here I am again, trying to go back to old school, as I noticed I suck on modern platforms :) also on tour there was a 'shitty social media' blackout, what indeed was short but impressive.

Here we go. Publishing the tour posters as first:

Those tours where the beginning of a new era for us, or a almost new, as since january 2021 we moved to North West France (Sarthe Regio) so we are officially not a Belgian band anymore, also, those tours (together with a minitour in May and a couple of shows) where the first shows of Py at the drums, what means the first shows of Antoine at the guitar and the arrival of Panzer Migou at the bass.
I have to admit this is for me, and also for the people that follow us since years, the best formation ever of MatraK AttaKK, and I am so glad that after many many years, 7 for me and 5 for Py, we made it to find each other ;)

Now we can say to have toured in full Europe, and we need to go further, as our plan to tour Philippine Indonesia and Japan in 2021 went temporary to pieces.

For now we got still some european plans, as yes we can say we toured in every country of europe, but we didn't do full Italy for example, and the islands! that's why in March/April we plan to go there!
We have plans for Georgia in june, waiting to know more about political conflicts of neighbour countrys, as if you go to Georgia you also would love to go in some countries next to it... :P
Also we would like to show the desolated landscaped of Scandinavia and Finland to Antoine and Migou even tough we went there already twice, as we want to hit Kiruna this time!
We would Love to play in Albania and Bosnia, to finally go to Moldavia and Belarus,
we'd love to Re-plan in bigger, our England Scotland Wales tour, adding up Ireland, but with Brexit it looks like something for later as well..

We want to go everywhere and even tough most of us are in mid late 30s, we want to enjoy until we can :)
Therefore, if you want us somewhere let us know good on time! We got too many plans ^^

We still have like 20 copies of the old split album with Discordance and 20 of our last Album What the Fuck is under the spotlight'...Not so many , what means we need to make new songs for a new split this year.

Anyway those are the already planned days out / mini tours of this end of the year, hope to see YOU there X
