V2 Canada has added a dEUS-section to its website. Nothing on the V2 USA-website yet.

dEUS is mentioned on famous music blog Largehearted Boy. The blog is linking to the 7 days, 7 weeks download from Ultimate Guitar.

What song should dEUS add to their setlist? There's a topic on I Suffer Rock where you can tell the band what song they should play during the upcoming tour.

I should definitely check this out. Someone is saying you get a nice effect when you play Pocket Revolution with the equalizer of your pc in Techno-modus.

Ultimate Guitar has an item about the upcoming release of Pocket Revolution in the United States (on March 7th). They're also offering 7 days, 7 weeks as a download.

Found a nice pic of Tom at the Water Festival in 1999.

Pocket Revolution reviewed by All Odd Music.

dEUS.be has announced the venues for the upcoming tour in North America and Canada. San Francisco and Philadelphia are still missing. And the South By Southwest-gig is not listed in the overview on dEUS.be anymore. I updated my tour-overview with the latest info.

The Wack Attack Barrack has a deal with iTunes. It will release albums from little known artists through the iTunes Music Store. They have also plans to release two Mauro-solo-albums through ITMS. Since Kelvin Smits (Cinerex) is also one of the people behind WAB, they have also made Exit All Areas, the first album of Cinerex, available for download. Tom Barman is doing vocals on Feminax.

Joseph d'Anvers will support dEUS in France (Renne, Caen and Maubauge) in February.
Absynthe Minded will support dEUS in Germany (Münster, Essen, Saarbrücken and Stuttgart) in March.

The Bangkok Post has an article about the Bangkok 100 Rock Festival. It also has a sentence about dEUS.

...hard rockers dEUS, from Belgium, should provide some good ol' mosh pit fun.

Bee discovered something weird on the dEUS-section of popshop.be, a site that sells t-shirts. At the bottom of the page there are some t-shirts with the text 'One Advance Space'. Isn't the song called One Advice Space? Nevertheless, I can't imagine it isn't meant to be that way. There a t-shirts with the text 'Got a be your own dog' although the lyrics of Fell Off The Floor, Man are 'you gotta be your own dog'.

dEUS was added to the list of performers on the South By Southwest-festival last friday. Other Belgian bands on the list are Girls in Hawaii and Goose. The schedule will be announced mid-February.

There's a dEUS-contest on MTV.nl. You can win tickets for the gig in Heineken Music Hall on February 28th.

Update: dEUS will also play the Orange Flagship Store in Rotterdam on February 7th for MTV's Brand New Live.
