2010! · 211 days ago

Dear friends


Racoon wishes everyone a very very happy New Year. May 2010 be another beautiful year for all of you.

You may have noticed that no Racoon gigs have been announced yet for the new year, and, as far as Holland is concerned, the tour calendar will remain quite empty for several months. Meanwhile we are keeping busy though, working on our new (and already our fifth) full album, which, if all goes as expected, should come out later in 2010. Before that time, we might be throwing ourselves into another foreign adventure or two. Keep an eye on this site for more info. And as usual we'll also keep you posted on all developments around Racoon and the new album in the news section and thru our newsletters.

Have yourself a good 2010 !!

Love,

Bart, Dennis, Paul & Stefan

iTUNES LIVE AT CHASSE BREDA ! · 247 days ago

Since this week our new live album "Live At Chassé Theater, Breda", is also available on iTunes. However, a mistake seems to have been made with the track listing as mentioned on iTunes, and the songs do not correspond with the titles. We have been assured that they're doing everything to correct the entries asap. To avoid disappointment, we would advise not to download the album until the problem has been solved. We'll keep you posted.

NORWEGIAN RELEASE "LOSE ANOTHER DAY" · 281 days ago

We're looking forward to October 26 and the release of "Lose Another Day", Racoon's first album to be released on Norwegian soil. The album will feature some of Racoon's most favourite songs, one of which is "Love You More". This single will also hit radio stations in Norway later this month.

The album will also set the tone for a series of Racoon shows in Norway in November and December, for which we will be joining our Norwegian friends of Minor Majority once again. Fun guaranteed. Let's pack some warm clothes, guys. Brrr…

"LIMITED EDITION" LIVE ALBUM NOW ALSO AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR ONLINE STORE · 306 days ago

Dear friends,

We’re thrilled about the flood of responses we’ve received about the new live album Live At Chasse Theater, Breda these last couple of weeks.

Up until now the album was only available at the theater shows that we’re playing in Holland right now. However…

Given the overwhelming demand for the album – especially from people unable to attend one of these shows – and with the aim of keeping our fans happy, we’ve decided to also make the “limited edition” available through our online store (i.e. here).

It looks like a ‘regular’ version of the album (without the fancy artwork) will also hit record stores in Holland later this fall. We’ll keep you posted.

Meanwhile the limited edition with the special packaging can already be found here. Enjoy!

All the best.

NEW THEATER TOUR & 'LIMITED EDITION' LIVE ALBUM · 317 days ago

After a two-week tour in Germany, Racoon is back home on familiar turf. Time to rest up a bit and recharge the batteries !
We’re really looking forward to September 23rd and the reprise of our “Before You Leave” theater tour in Holland.

Picking up where we left off last fall, we do have a nice little extra to add to this tour:
We can proudly announce the release of a ‘limited edition’ live album, with special packaging, that will only be available at the upcoming theater shows. Because we’re more than happy with the end result, we’ve decided to release the recordings of an entire theater show onto a double-CD. To enjoy as a whole or to pick out your favorite tracks ! The perfect way to re-live the show in the comfort of your own home (or car).
Alongside newly arranged versions of well-known and lesser-known Racoon songs and even a few cover songs, this double disc also features ‘Rudest Behaviour’, a previously unreleased Racoon song that we no longer wanted to keep to ourselves.

You can already listen to this new song and get a taste for the rest of the tour and album in the ‘listen’ section of the widget below. Enjoy !

For concert tickets for the upcoming tour, we gladly refer to the official ticket outlets (see the links under ‘tickets’). A few shows have already sold out but you’re bound to still get some tickets for another show in your area. See you there !
