Last night's gig was bittersweet because we enjoyed it as always, but this was our last show with Janneke de Rooy 😢💔. We are very grateful for the years we spent together in Beyond the Pale 🙏. We have created many fond memories and we're going to miss her.

Our lead vocalist Janneke de Rooy has decided to part ways with Beyond The Pale and focus fully on her other band, Maatkare.
We are sad to see Janneke leave, but naturally we respect her decision. We hope to find a suitable replacement and start the next chapter with a new vocalist. Stay tuned!

Happy #LeftHandersDay! You wouldn't tell when you look at these axe masters, but Boudewijn (at the right) is actually #left-handed, playing a right-handed #guitar 🤯. He is amiable but headstrong. Gentle but ungovernable. And he has amazing ambidextrous skills 👌🤘🤩

As musicians we spend quite some time on stage, playing our hearts out. But sometimes it's just as incredible to be on the other side of the barrier. Yesterday, we had a blast with Mannequin Death Squad. Witnessing their energy and passion, it reminded us why we started playing in the first place 🤩🤘

It's 11/11 so happy #NigelTufnel day 😆🤘To quote the legend himself: ""Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not 10. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at 10. You're on 10 here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on 10 on your guitar. Where can you go from there?"

DYK where our band name comes from? Our very own Frank is currently exploring the historic "Pale," the medieval boundary around Dublin that separated English rule from Irish territory. All outside this area were considered "beyond the pale": wild, uncivilized, and dangerous. Pretty metal, right? 🤘

Throwback to last weekend, when Beyond The Pale (minus Janneke, who had other engagements) visited Stadsbrouwerij Sneek. Massive thanks to Marcel Jansen and Johan Braincasket for spoiling us 🙏.
Horns up to their unique blend of craft beer mastership, love for heavy riffs, and community spirit 🍻🤘
