At 86 the oldest member of the band. Played in legendary seminal punkbands like Dr. Aadjesvlees, De Stakkers and the first ever Antidote (o.k., second ever). Books: anything by Drs. P. Music: nothing by anything that's not called Angry Samoans.	Typical part time punk. Listens to Burt Bacharach and K3 at home. Has memorized all 4 Rubberen Robbie LP's (including the backwards parts: "Nadneroejtem Tawgonkooejnek, Oz Oz!"). Thinks the ultimate Sound Check Word is "Slaapapneu".	Plays in about 26 bands (used to be 27) cuz he's so darn good. Used to be our guitar player, but just when he bought himself 5 expensive guitars and 2 expensive amps our drummer quit so now he plays his no-budget drum set with cracked cymbals.

SACK-O'-DAUGHTER! June 26, 2005: The moment we put down our guitars after our Parkhof gig yesterday, Niels' mobile phone rang and he had to hurry home. This morning at half past eight Jessica and Niels became the proud mum and dad of Maartje! UK (MINI-)TOUR JAN 2005! Jan 29, 2005: Just got back from a great (mini-)tour of the United Kingdom. We played London, Leeds (the famous Fenton pub where the likes of Gang Of 4 cut their teeth) and Southampton (farewell gig of the brilliant Wreck Of Old 98). We drove on the wrong side of the road as if we'd been doing it all our lives. We met a bunch of great people who put us up in their dilapidated punk rock tower block apartments and cooked us baked beans and toast breakfasts. We bought a lot of beer cans at Tesco (this "free beer for the band" thing still hasn't caught on in the UK yet). Had great weather & lots of fun. And didn't lose any money, so I guess we're gonna press up that new EP soon. Our friend/fan/mersh man Frommel does a weblog which has some pictures & stories about the trip, check it out! NEW RECORDINGS December 14, 2004: We've just finished cutting a couple of new tunes as a three-piece. Maybe it's gonna be a 7 inch, who knows? "Baby, I'm Born Old" and "The Men With Bogart's Face" are among the titles recorded. It hasn't been mixed yet, but judging from the aural evidence at the moment it's going to sound a bit trashier and dirtier than the 10 inch. Of course PLONK Recording Service were pushing the buttons again. SACK-O'-THREE October 2004: Our drummer Jochem has left the band. He's really busy on the work front and on top of that, is going to be a father this december (Stop press: Jochem and Sas got a bouncing baby boy called Manus on November 29!). We've already done a couple of shows as a threesome, with Robert pounding the skins, and we'll go on as a trio until some drummer out there who wants to Punk a mean fucking Rock gives us a call... OUT NOW! 26-03-2004: Our brand new 11 song 10 inch on U-Lit/Geesthuis! (See Sackography) Hier een reportage over onze gig samen met De Kift in Krommenie, September 2002.
