Note: initially recorded as a pre-production for a planned demo, this session was okay-ed to act as a 'Doorgeplugd'-session, with the interview taped days before the broadcast. Two weeks after this broadcast internal tensions burst and the band split up!

Note: although not the soberest people in the world when starting recording 'Loser', they succeeded in laying down one of the most memorable tracks of all sessions. Undoubtedly the most aired track of any session and regularly aired on other programs as well (With me present as a guest ofcourse!).

First Broadcast: October 27th 2000.
Tracks: Mountains Of Zoom/Monstrueux Rarité/Monstertruck (Acoustic Version).

Note: One of only two sessions, of which the included interview was NOT broadcast. Due to technical problems, as some members of the band preferred to join in with the interview running around the studio and screaming both into the mike and against the walls on the other side of the room. Merely due to the happy and chaotic moods in the band and forcing them to perform acoustic, which they never did before!

'Doorgeplugd' Session 1: Collin

Between September 2000 and December 2001, a set of sessions was recorded live and produced by John Radersma, owner of recording- and rehearsal studio ‘Plug Unit’ in Reeuwijk, Holland.

Collin (Gouda, Reeuwijk).
Recorded August 30th 2000.
First Broadcast: September 29th 2000.
Tracks: Sad/Swallow/Filter.

Note: Only the singer and guitarist were present during this acoustic session. 'Sad' is a rough mix-version of a session used for a low-profile promo. Members of the band '3 AM' were invited to act as audience, to give the session a bit of a' live'-feel. This idea was abandonned after this session and never used again. As was the intro they recorded for this broadcast, containing the words ‘Going Underground’ and ‘Doorgeplugd’.
