Lido Berlin - 29.10.2011
We’ve never felt as nervous before a concert.
Kinky White Horse kicked off with a mind-blowing mixture of balloons and melodies. Safari followed suit, showing exactly why we needed to have them back in Berlin, and were very much appreciated by the crowd.
We’ve never had as much fun on stage. Best crowd ever! Let’s do it again. Let’s just pretend it’s summer. Every...
Molotow Hamburg - 28.10.2011
OUR RELEASE DAY. SUMMER IS OFFICIALLY OUT TODAY!!!
Hamburg. Hamburg. We Heart Hamburg.
Breathless.
The bar sold out within two weeks, so we were moved to the club. It was soooooo hot. Possibly one of our favourite concerts. Ever. Such an amazing crowd, such brilliant people. We want to come back to Hamburg. Tomorrow. And the day after. And again after that.
The best cake in the world.
Kassablanca Jena - 27.10.2011
Before we could get to the concert, we had a few stops to make at a few radio stations on the way down. Radio Eins was the first one, where we met the lovely Anja Caspary and chatted a bit about Summer.
The second would have been MDR Sputnik, but some builders found a unexploded bomb from WW2 next to the building an hour before we arrived. Oh dear. We went back the next day. The building was...
T-Mobile Street Gig Marburg (Jennifer Rostock...
Today we played support for the lovely Jennifer Rostock in a greenhouse (sorry, botanical garden) in Marburg. It was like being in a jungle.
Support shows are always a tad difficult, but as per usual the crowd were lovely and sang along the chorus to a certain song which some of you know.
None of us stole any plants, so that’s a plus.

Today we sent out all of the pre-orders and pledge albums. These are only the ones from our online store!
Thank you so much, everyone! The post office lady almost had a fit.
Order your copy today. Word.
The first pile.
Rosenau Bayreuth - 22.10.2011
A short visit to our label’s office preceded the concert, where we ate cake and made a little video of us sticking our limited edition Neuzeit singles together. Coming soon! We’ve always had a good time in Bayreuth, usually with the glass walls of the uni venue, Glashaus. This time we were in a place called Rosi’s as part of an indoor festival. Great crowd, great voices. We had...
Kulturfabrik Mühlhausen - 21.10.2011
This week our escapades took us to Mühlhausen, which is apparently bang in the middle of Germany, right on the equator. We took the time to try out some new drumming parts, a little nervous of what giving Pierre a floor tom my lead to. Twas ok. We played there with a band called SUPERSHIRT. They have a song which we really liked which goes: Buy less, then you won’t need so much money, then...
Another photoshoot - 18.10.2011
Today we went around Berlin in a van and stopped by at all of our favourite places to photograph our faces for an article in a magazine coming to your coffee table in the very near future.
One of our favourite records. Clearly. Photo by Anna Karetnikova.
FZW Dortmund - 14.10.2011
The album is coming out in exactly 14 days, but we decided to start selling it live on every date of the tour as of today. Every copy we took with us to the ruhrpott city of Dortmund is now gone. More of this, please.
The concert was a lot of fun, it’s getting better and better now people know the words to the songs, not that we’re lazy and don’t like singing, but it’s...

Emil Zittau - 01.10.2011
Satellite navigation systems are tricky things. Yesterday ours didn’t really know much about roads in Saxony and, woah, 500 metres until the border, and suddenly we were in Poland. We like Poland. Pierogi, kocham cie!
We almost asked one of the tired-looking pretty girls waiting by the side of the road the way to Zittau, but she looked busy.
When we actually found Zittau, which is tucked...
