2006

Intwine plays at the Vrienden van ('Friends Of') Amstel Live at the Rotterdam Ahoy' Arena. With Belgium's Sarah Bettens they sing the song Not An Addict, the hit by her former band K's Choice. The live recording is the bonus track on Bettens' single Come Over Here. In February Intwine pays a visit to the slums of Rio de Janeiro, which experience leads to the single Peace Of Mind. It's a protest against poverty in the world and suits the general theme of (Tilburg's) Mundial Festival in June, where the band shows a TV documentary about their trip to Brazil the day before they play live. Percussionist Ferdinand van Duuren leaves the band after personal and artistic differences. Feel It is the first single of the album Pyrrhic Victory which is released on 9 October. The song is the title track of the Dutch film Nachtrit (Night Ride). The song For Goodness Sake also features in this film.

Because of internal troubles, the V2 label is not able to promote the album. Intwine therefore handles all promotional activities themselves. During the 2006/2007 season, the band tours in the Netherlands with their Rumshop Session Tour. The band records a DVD during a show on 13 September at club 013 in Tilburg. One of the guests during that show is rapper Brainpower. Intwine and Brainpower write a song together with the video game Assassin's Creed. The track The Chosen (Assassin's Creed) is released mid-November through the PIAS label.
