Day Six

Over a year ago we announced that keyboard player Dolf van Heugten was leaving the band. The past year we had many meetings and auditions and now we are very pleased to finally present the new keyboard player of Day Six…

Desmond Robberegt!

Besides several projects Desmond has a lot of experience as keyboard player in bands like Incineration, Xystus and Zout.
We’re very excited that Desmond will be joining the band and we’re sure he will give Day Six some new creative impulses. Welcome on board, Desmond!
Behind the scenes we already have been working hard on new material as well as rehearsing the old songs and we’re ready to hit the stage again.
The first show is already planned and hopefully some more will follow soon.
So stay tuned!

Finally we confirm a new show.
On September 4th Day Six will be doing a show at Lakei, Helmond with the Swedish band Moon Safari.
You might think “and who’s gonna hit the keyboards on that evening? Well………more exiting news on that will follow very soon!

It´s been a while but last week we started de recordings of drums and some guitars of six new tracks.
These recordings will not be used for the new album, it’s kind of a preprepreproduction in which we finish the tracks.
We must say, we’re very satisfied about the result so far.
Some video footage will follow so stay tuned.

We regret to announce that we’re forced to cancel the Progmotionconcert with Sean Filkins.

Due elbow bursitis, Daan isn’t able to drum at the moment.

Day Six was really looking forward to play the show at W2, and we’re truly sorry, but please know we did everything to make the show happen.

We will make it up to you in the future!

Due some problems at the factory the release of our compilation-LP “Samples of….” has been delayed.
When the LP being released exactly we’re not sure but we expect it to be somewhere in the beginning of December. As soon as we know more about it we’ll let you know.
Luckily the progrockmagazine IOpages and Freia Music came up with a good idea.
If you become a new member of the magazine you can choose a present.
This month you can choose beside the work of Steven Wilson or Pendragon our new LP “Samples of genetic wisdom, captured to survive”. Yeah!

A new show confirmed. We will be doing a show with Sean Filkins (UK) at W2 den Bosch, on December 15th. Also the 8 bands of the Dutch Exposure project will be presented this evening. Thanks to Progmotion and Freia Music for making this show possible!

We will release a compilation album on the FREIA Music label. The album will be entitled “Samples of genetic wisdom, captured to survive”. The album contains tracks for the first two albums of Day Six, “The grand design”(2010) and “Eternal dignity” (2003). But it will also includes tracks form the predecessor of Day Six, Peanuts, from the album “Be careful what you wish for…” (2000), plus one or more so far unofficial released tracks.

The release of the album celebrates the 10th anniversary of the band working under the name Day Six. But it’s also a retrospective of the 18 years collaboration of the band with keyboard-player Dolf van Heugten.

The album will be released as a strictly limited edition of 500 copies. The luxe edition will contain 2 HQ-vinyl LP’s and one CD. The release is planned for november 2012.
Day Six and FREIA Music thank Lion Music for granting a license to realise the album.

Luckily we’ve planned a new show at de Bosuil, Weert. August 11th with Circle II Circle, Sebastien and the Mike Stone Band. Make sure you’ll be there!

Unfortunately the concert of June 29th is being cancelled due cancelation of Dominici’s tour.
We’re looking for a new date at the Bosuil, so keep posted!
