The Irrational Library

Hey folks. After almost 10 years Mishal has decided to step away from The Irrational Library and focus on his own solo work. A big thanks to all the musical input, production and comraderie throughout the years. Success to our friend.

Tom, Lars and I will keep on doing what we do together, in one musical/poetical form or another. We will take our time, look for a new bass player and keep on going with the groove.

Thanks to all those who have gotten down with us in these past ten years. We are looking forward to many more. See ya soon.

We have updated the website! Thanks to Sem Kramer for know to negotiate this online world for us.

Amsterdam friends! This Friday night me and The Irrational Library will be back in De Nieuwe Anita for a special show together with My Purse and Dim Pinks. Doors are early and video release begins at 20.00, so be on time. We play just after 22.00 but come early and support the entire night with your gloriously hip presence.

Folks, due to illness we will not be playing at this evenings show. Please still go and check out the other great bands and super initative. Till next time.

Back into the Vondelbunker after all these years. Looking forward to this showcase of fine bands. We are on first so be on time if you wanna catch us.
