Mihoen!

Mihoen! started out in May 1996 when Arno (vocals) and Rene (guitar) decided to start a band and absolutely had no idea what would become of it. They met Pepijn one night at a party in Utrecht, who knew Rene from way back when they used to go to the same highschool in the south of Holland. Pepijn owned a bassguitar (although he had no clue what to do with it whatsoever) but seemed like a nice enough guy so they let him join. They played together a couple of times, got a 70's rock drummer, kicked him out after one session and put up ads again for a new one. Irmin called one night saying he had been in a grindcore-band, wanted to play punk and offered to bring his double-bass pedals. A week later they met eachother, quit doing coversongs after about 15 minutes of trying and decided they would write their own songs and figure out how to actually play their instruments along the way (errug punk allemaal, niet?). That night two complete songs were written and the four of us became great friends. And now we are four years later. We've put out 2 demo's of which the second became the 'Raast door...' 7" and recently we've put out a split with teenage thrash heroes COCKROACH (which is sold out already) and are currently in the process of rounding up the second splitrecord with Utrecht's crust sensation THE CONTAINER CRUSTIES FROM HELL. Besides all that we are a LIVE-band, it's what we do best and what we enjoy the most (yawn!), so that's one of the things we have been doing intensively the past four years. That's about it, it's a true story too...
