After
this quite succesful evening – there were around 200 people watching us
– a bunch of gigs followed. An article in ‘De Hoogstraatse Maand’ made
Whypoal world-famous in our region, especially because of our name. (A
‘Whypoal’ is in our dialect a pole, which is placed around pastures and
is linked with other poles by barbed wire). A lot of gigs – and a lot of
better songs – later, we decided ‘round Christmas 1997 to dive into a record
studio in order to put some songs on a demo. At Jack’s Place ten songs
were recorded and nine of them were put on the demo, titled ‘THE CHIX FILES’. 
With
this demo we got the opportunity to play with bands like Concrete Cell,
The Travoltas, Convict, etc… and with the legendary SATANIC SURFERS. (this
show was foreseen at Cahier De Brouillon in Hoogstraten, but exactly this
show was cancelled by the Satanics because of the illness of their singer,
damn !!!). In the meanwhile we also set foot on the territory of the world-wide
internet. Our site « http://come.to/whypoal » has already got
a few transformations and is – following our modesty :) - worth while a
visit. Exams in june 1998, but also in august & september meant a short
break for Whypoal. But in october 1998 we were rehearsing again, which
resulted in a couple of new songs, who were much more melodic en mature
than before. These songs will probably be put on a splitt-CD with a punkrockband
from Lokeren. (foreseen for the autumn of ’99). Untill that time we will
still playing gigs, so if you wanna check us out live … then go for it
! ! ! !
