Biography

The Story of Malkovich

Malkovich Band Photo

(2000-2008)

Malkovich was a Dutch hardcore punk band active from 2000 to 2008. Their sound developed from chaotic hardcore into a mix of punk, metal, rock and jazz.

From their first documented show in Amsterdam in January 2001 to their farewell in October 2008, Malkovich played 341 documented shows across 18 countries. They toured Europe and the United States, performing at festivals including Groezrock, Fury Fest and CMJ. In 2007, Malkovich received an Essent Award and performed at Lowlands.

The band released two full-length albums: "A Criminal Record" (2004) via Reflections Records and "Kings n' Bosses" (2007) via Go-Kart Records, alongside the releases "Malkovich", "The Foundation Rocks" and "017".

Malkovich's final show took place on October 3, 2008 at Akhnaton in Amsterdam - a sold-out farewell that marked the end of an era. This site preserves their recordings, concert history and original announcements.

This is the last call. The Malkoholic Party is nearly over. It lasted 8 years and it's been a hell of a time. We started as a noisy chaotic band with not much aspirations but somehow we developed into something that attracted a great variety of people and we managed to do some great tours all over Europe and even do some trips to the US. We delivered 2 EPs and 2 albums which show that Malkovich was and is a unique punkrock monster and we're sure that the future will prove that we haven't received 10% of what we deserved. We have made a serious bunch of friends and had a ridiculous amount of fun being on the road. It's been great, but it's over now. We have different goals to pursue now, musicwise and on personal levels too.

We will celebrate the end of 8 beautiful years on October 3rd at the Akhnaton (located at the Nieuwezijds Kolk 25, in the very heart of Amsterdam). We will have a bunch of friends share the stage with us, before and after our final gig. You know that this is going to be special, even more special than all the other Malkoholic Parties you've attended or heard about. So, join us on that special date and celebrate with us one last time.

It's been a while since we posted some news here, but have we got something for you now. Our videoclip for "043" has been finalized and has been premiered on MySpaceTV. Luuk Bouwman (Aux Raus) directed this little movie and you'll see for yourself that he did a great job.

In the meantime we've been preparing ourselves for the Dutch Courage Tour with Malle Piethe And The Bimbos and Aux Raus. We're also finally going to cross the Canal for a bunch of shows in the UK from December 4th to 9th. More details on these dates should follow shortly.

We are extremely pleased to inform y'all that we received an Essent Award. This is a prestigious price in the Netherlands that's being awarded to 5 upcoming bands/acts every 6 months. The price includes 5000 euro, but much more interesting it also offers us a spot on the Lowlands Festival bill. For a band like us it's such an honor to be able to play a festival like that. So, if you're attending the festival, be sure to be in the India tent on Saturday at 14:45. Yet another party you don't want to miss.

Other news is that we are planning a bunch of tours. First we are trying to fill some dates in September and October for Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Than we are hoping to fly to Iceland for a couple of shows and then on to NYC for CMJ and some East Coast dates. Then when we return we hope to finally hit the UK in early November. If you think you can help us with any of these tours, please get in touch with us or our booking agent.

The vinyl edition of "Kings n' Bosses" is available now through us. It comes in a fabulous deluxe gatefold and the first 300 copies are on 180 gram (black) vinyl. The rest is on 140 gram black vinyl, which is available from our label Go Kart Records.

So get your digital asses to our webstore and get a copy of the LP while they're still here. And why not get one of those crazy Malkoholic shirts, too, while you're at it?
