This is a platform for our affinity group, our squat Positivenest, our projects like Program Awakening, and the videos and posters manufactured by Spirit of Squatters Collective and a few others. Our idea is to bring a lot of positive messages and constructive solutions to the alternative movement. We try to avoid pessimistic news, except when we are fighting for freedom of speech. Real life starts when we turn off our computer, our tv, etc. If you want to contact us, email mgriks@gmail.com

Videos from anarchistic festival in Appelscha. (parts 2,3,4)
So, back in Holland we had a piano: that's where it all started. I started writing in english (when I was about 10) and as my main knowledge of english and music came from the radio and television, my lyrics started off as pretty bad love songs.
As I got older and got to know my first punkbands (Greenday, NOFX, Good Riddance) , I turned my back on the radio. During my time with the band DidiDATZI (the only ever Butterfly-punkband in the world) I developed more knowledge about the world and it's politics.
Some people in the band, prefered to keep the butterflyness (the careless, funny, punkstyle) in the band, although I wanted to say what was burning in my heart. The result was a new band, Animal Farm, which didn't last long because of other reasons. And DidiDATZI fell apart. Eventually, after doing a couple of attempts to start a new band, I realized that I had to go on by myself.
I wrote songs accompanied by piano or guitar. With subjects such as political issues, emotions.. From a story about an anorexic/boulimic girl to general love songs, from furcoats to friendship. Basicly everything that plays an important role in people's lives. Eighter my own, or humans and nonhuman animals, whose life I can only imagine about.
In april 2005, thanx to Non Stop Records, Budapest, my first cd came out: "People". It contains 4 piano and 4 guitar songs: Murder in Genoa, Mikey's Song, Breaking You, The time is Now, Lajka, History of a Furcoat, Morning in Budapest, a Tiny Bit Like You.
