The Setup

With the summer holidays coming to an end we’re also approaching the date where we’re gonna hit the studio to record our new full length. Within 6 weeks we’ll be entering the CCR studio’s to record the drums and the following weeks will be used to record the other parts, which will be done in both Fat Sounds studio and Ace Zecs own studio. In other words, time is ticking and we’re anxious to put the new songs on tape! What can you expect? Well, 11-12 songs and I think it’s safe to say we can assure you it’s going to be the most heavy and dark stuff either one of us has ever recorded before. The working title for the new record is “Minister of Death” and it should be out in January 2007 on GSR-music. Due to our hectic schedule and other unforeseen circumstances, we still have a lot of work to do, but I know we’re going to make it in time. Pressure is and always will be a good motivator!

We’re also working on a dvd as an extra for the new record. Since you can never have enough footage we would like to ask people who have ever shot some video-material of TSU to get in touch. Of course, all your expenses for postage or dvd-discs will be taken care of. Mail us at info@thesetupkills.com.

Besides all that, those who saw us on stage the last couple of months probably noticed that Christophe is no longer playing with us. Due to personal reasons he decided to leave the band. Something we all regret a whole lot but at the same time fully understood. We have to thank him for all the good times and we wish him all the best! Luckily for us, Nicolas from the mighty Leng tch’e helped us out a couple of times and the last couple of months, Kristof a.k.a DIE from Chimaera took over. Needless to say, we’re very grateful for helping us out. Both guys are a pleasure to share the stage with! The next couple of months Kristof will continue to fill the spot and we hope to announce a replacement when we get back from the studio at the end of October.

Last but most certainly not least, we’re also playing the Pukkelpop-festival on Friday the 18th. Needless to say we’re totally psyched for that one! We’re kicking it at the Skatestage at 12.00. We’re the only Belgian hardcore/punkband playing that day so be sure to represent and mosh hard! Also be sure to check out the other Belgian bands on Thursday and Saturday!
