‎2011 was a pretty crazy year: strikes and gutters, ups and downs. Thumbs up for all your kind words and support and we hope to see you at one of our gigs during our 2012 club tour, starting in February.

First upcoming show: a special free acoustic performance at the 3VOOR12/Utrecht Nieuwjaarsduik in dB’s Utrecht with our friends John Coffey. Happy new year!

Play FIFA 12 against The Medics and FC Utrecht

The Medics — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:42:26 +0000

It has become a tradition already: Dutch radio station 3FM takes over the airwaves in December to raise money for a good cause. This year the money will go to mothers in Africa: ‘This one’s for mama‘.

If you’re a soccer and/or music fan, then this is your chance: there’s an auction going on on Ebay, here you can bid on playing FIFA 12 against The Medics and our home town soccer club FC Utrecht. Of course we’ll be playing this competition in the Galgenwaard stadium.

Show us your skills! This will be a hell of a game, don’t you think? Bid now!

Don’t like FIFA? Here’s another one. Some friends of ours are willing to tattoo a red cross on their butt for this good cause. That’s dedication! Read all about it and donate here (in Dutch).

Christmas Alarm: live in DWDD!

Last March we made our debut in De Wereld Draait Door, one of the biggest Dutch television shows. This Friday (December 9th) we will perform our song ‘Christmas Alarm‘ live on this show. Like!

More Christmas-related news: on December 23 we will play a show in the centre of Rotterdam on the 3FM Serious Request stage. It’s for a good cause, so come and show your support!

New song ‘Christmas Alarm’ on compilation

The Medics — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:51:03 +0000

Christmas songs. You either love them or hate them. We were asked to write a song for the compilation ‘So This Is Christmas’, together with a lot of good Dutch artists like Moke, De Staat, Pete Philly, Handsome Poets, The Souldiers and Miss Montreal. We decided to give it a shot. And it turned out great with the help of Guido and Brian.

Listen/download the compilation in iTunes or Spotify.
