Like any webzine, Merchants Of Air is active on facebook, twitter etcetera.  Recently we created a profile on the newest member of the social network family, Tsu.  We quite agree with their terms of use and their view on social networking so we were glad to join in.  Here's a short list of websites we're on (short indeed because we don't feel like spending too much time on them).

Sludge band Herder kicked out of venue for playing too loud

Dutch sludge band Herder lives by the motto 'Herder Is Harder' and apparently, that got them in trouble last weekend.  At a metal festival in Hilversum (NL), including loud acts like The Shining, Enthroned and Sodom, the drummer was asked to stop playing so loud.  Of course, that usually doesn't really work and after a set of only 22 minutes, police escorted the band out of the venue.
The organisation mentioned that the band exceeded the volume limit and continued to do so after the sound technicians tried to resolve the problem.  Herder seems to think the whole incident is quite funny and narrow minded and will obviously continue to be one of the hardest bands in The Netherlands.
