Even before the album's launch, Die Heuwels Fantasties released two singles as free downloads on Last.fm which attracted thousands of listeners. These tracks reached number one on various campus radio stations and the first music video, Vinger Alleen, spent three weeks at number one on MK. This track also earned them a nomination for Best Video at the MK Awards in March 2009. [1]
