gigs we played here
 
 
  November 12, 2016, we released 'I Changed My Sex'.
February 20, 2014, we released the EP 'Sure 'Nuff 'n Yes We Do'.
Both albums were released by Blowpipe Records.

BETONFRAKTION will pour it's concrete wherever possible.
In 2012 the first tour abroad took place. We played squats  in Germany.

October 15, 2011, saw the first full-blown album by the band! On vinyl:
big, round, black. It's called 'Snake Nation Cropduster'.

Some history.
Once upon a spring, in the quiet village of X-burg, three people
were drawn to each other in their quest for, well... anything really.
BETONFRAKTION comes into existence.
   
 

Initiator of BETONFRAKTION is Nick J. Swarth. The former city poet
of X-burg, his hometown, considers language as a limited way of expressing
thoughts, feelings, whatever. Therefore, he often seeks the company of musicians, artists, dancers and videoproducers.

For BETONFRAKTION he teams up with composer and guitarist Frank Crijns. Crijns
is a member of Blast, a band known for its radical approach. As a composer he writes pieces for orchestr's and ensembles.

Dritter im Bunde is drummer Provocase. He joined us in January 2015.

Before Provocase there was Marzj - 2009-2014. Marzj replaced Ries Doms, who
started out with the band in the spring of 2008 and stayed with BETONFRAKTION
for one year and two gigs.
