The Crowns

The Crowns Fan Club Website

Alex — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:39:55 +0000

Two of our awesome fans, Helsy and Dina (pictured to the right with shades matching their awesomeness), have created a The Crowns fan club website at http://www.thecrownsfanclub.webs.com/ They did a great job and the website looks very professional! This once again confirms that we have the best and most creative fans of any band out there :)

Please go and check out the site, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as we did. Thanks Helsy & Dina!

We Need Your Help!

It’s been way too long since we’ve posted a video on our youtube, which is a shame for all our fans (almost 40,000, woohoo!) who have subscribed to our youtube channel. That’s why we’ve decided that we shouldn’t just release music videos on our youtube, but also add other kinds of videos related to The Crowns.

In our first video we want to do a mini-interview where we answer some of the questions our fans have about the band, about us, about life in Amsterdam or about anything else. So if you’ve always wanted to ask Valentine if he’s really a yodeling professional, or if Thomas could show off his infamous Carlton dance, this is your chance (for those who have no idea what we’re talking about, check out our bio).

You can post your questions here or send an e-mail to contact@thecrownsmusic.com

For Our Dutch Fans

Alex — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 18:11:09 +0000

Our friend Douglas Bels has created a website to support independent Dutch artists. We think it’s an admirable thing to do and we wish him all the luck. You can check it out here.

The website is written in Dutch, so unless you have a strange curiosity for weird foreign languages it might be a bit confusing if you’re English :)

We Have a Winner!

It was incredibly difficult, but we have managed to select a winner for the International The Crowns fanart contest: Jennifer Cade with her skillful and humorous drawing of our band. It took us very long to decide because it was clear that all of you put a huge amount of work into the fanart you sent us and we were extremely impressed with your creativity and talent. In the end the fanart by Jennifer won because it combines both skillful drawing with humour based on our (tongue-in-cheek) biography.

We’re very grateful for all the effort you put into your fanart. You should definitely check out some of the other amazing fanart in this gallery. We easily have the best fans of any band out there. You all rock!

Last Chance!

Alex — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 16:44:25 +0000

Today is the final day that you can submit your fanart to the International The Crowns Fanart Contest. So you better get of your butts and be creative!

We’ve been very impressed with all the amazing fanart you have sent us so far, so keep em coming. Tomorrow we’ll announce the winner and create a gallery on our website with all the fanart that you have created.

It’s Contest Time!

Alex — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:12:39 +0000

It’s time for the first International The Crowns Fanart Contest! We’re giving away a The Crowns t-shirt or top (in the colour of your choosing) to the person who can create the best fanart. Feel free to submit anything from hand-drawn fanart to computer made fanart (example here). So grab your pencil/pen/paintbrush/computer/paint-dipped-leprechaun and unleash your creativity!

The final submission date is in one week (August 10th) and we’ll announce the winner the day after. You can send your fanart to contact@thecrownsmusic.com. Good luck!

Update: you may submit as many artworks as you want, but keep in mind we pick the winner based on quality and not quantity!

Update 2: you can make any kind of fan art you want, it doesn’t have to have our logo in it. There are a lot of pictures in our gallery that you can use.

New Wallpapers Up for Download!

Alex — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:11:35 +0000

We’ve just added some new high quality The Crowns wallpapers to the images page of our website. Check them out here!

You can preview the wallpapers by clicking on the thumbnails in the gallery. To download them to your computer, simply click on the “Direct Download” link below the thumbnails.

If you want to use the wallpapers as a background for your computer be sure to pick the version that matches the dimensions of your monitor or we will end up looking horribly deformed ;)

Website Downtime

Alex — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 22:48:53 +0000

Our website has been down for about two days due the fact that the company where we host our website messed up (in a big, big way). Our previous host was slow but at least it worked! We’ve moved to yet another host and we’re hoping that the third time’s the charm.

There might be a few problems until we’ve finished moving 100%. If you notice that your user picture is missing, please upload it again. Our previous host seems to have lost them when they crashed and burned.

Some Sad News

Alex — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 21:14:29 +0000

We have some sad news: Oxyde, Toff’s cat who you all saw in the Let It Go video and who has been Toff’s companion for 16 years passed away last week.

Rest in peace Oxyde, you will be missed.

Website moved!

Alex — Sun, 31 May 2009 02:37:20 +0000

It took a bit longer then expected, but we’ve moved our website to a new location! We’ve also made a few improvements to the site while we were at it:

The site should load a lot faster than before.
The forums are less cramped.
MP3 music downloads have been fixed.
The gallery has a back link (woohoo!).

While we are moving the site will probably be a bit messy/broken so please let us know if you run into any problems and we’ll fix it for you!
