The band will now sit down and plan the next move with their management team at Cruisin music who also represent The Stranglers and Tina Cousins. The first chapter of a post-Beat Crazy world is to be the live album (to be recorded at The Borderline on Friday 14 July) which will include new songs, tunes from 'The Journey' album as well as older Amsterdam classics. Ian and Amsterdam are also hard at work writing the follow up to 'The Journey' and were very happy with the way the new songs went last Saturday night. The boys hope to commence recording on a new album later in the year with Ian commenting "My pen is on fire at the moment, all the receptors are up".

Ian and Paulie from 'Amsterdam' will play a 30 minute acoustic show this Thursday at the Magnet club in Liverpool in aid of a local Anti-Fascist movement.
Plenty of other musicians will be helping out as well and the night has been targeted by the Nazi's as one to disrupt. So if you have the chance come down and support the cause.
