LISTENING PRINCIPLES CALLS IT QUITS
(May 9, 2009)
We really tried, but ever since Martin left us almost two years ago, we never found the new format we were all hoping for. Members left along the way, and as of May 2009, the remaining musicians decided that it was no use anymore. Henceforth, this website will no longer be updated. It will remain online, however, as an archive and ongoing tribute to a very special band.

Two new bandmembers
(Januari 26, 2008)
The members of Listening Principles have decided unanimously that two new bandmembers will be added to the line-up, effective immediately. We will introduce them to you soon, but for now this newsrelease will have to satisfy your curioasity. Koen ‘Koe’ Houtackers is our new percussionist, second bassplayer, noisemaker and Court Jester. Renate Engelen is out new singer, vocal arcrobat, noisemaker and ‘epicentre of artistic design’.

Listening Principles website in English
(August 31, 2007)
LP have published the first two pages of what is to become a concise English version of this website. So far, only the index page and this news section are ready. The other pages will follow slowly but surely. In time, more navigation buttons will appear on the left hand side, so watch this space for updates. For those who can't read Dutch: the Download section is pretty easy to figure out without any multi-linguistic talents. Feel free to listen to as much free downloads as you like! And there are also some nice pictures that speak more or less for themselves. Check them out, see us in action...

Listening Principles studio recordings cancelled
(May 25, 2007)
Yesterday, after an long and emotional meeting, LP have decided to cancel the recordings for their 3rd album. It was after a very long talk that the conclusion emerged that there was no other option. This is what happens to bands that have been together for a long time. Individual members develop the feeling that it is time for something completely different. Our poet, Martin Beversluis, has left the band, effective immediately, because he wants more time to dedicate himself to solo projects he was already working on. The other members have decided to go on a 3-month break. On September 2, 2007 we will re-group in our trusted rehearsal room, to make a fresh start. From that moment on, this site will also be updated on a more regular basis.
