Scheune Dresden - 24.11.2011
This was the unofficial end to the Let’s Just Pretend It’s Summer Tour for us - POTSDAM is a one-off amazing-magical Christmas-and-Hanukah special shizzle. This demanded special care and attention. Put on the best show you can.
Once again the brilliant KINKY WHITE HORSE opened the show for us.
The atmosphere was fantastic and we will always love coming back to Dresden. And we will....
GETADDICTED Cologne - 19.11.2011
After several hours of sharing baths in the Cottbus hotels (the photos ALMOST made it on here - next time, promise) we set off on the mammoth journey across the Bundeslands to Cologne.
The GETADDICTED people are all really sweet and it was a lot of fun to play a party gig again. It’s always a rush to go on stage in the middle of the night, in the middle of a party, because you never know...
Gladhouse Cottbus - 18.11.2011
The only time we’d ever been to Cottbus before was when a few of us fell asleep on a regional train on the way home from work one morning, so it was nice going there on purpose for once.
The drive from Berlin was incredibly short, so we were a bit confused getting out of the bus and decided to drive around town for 3 hours to make it feel normal and to insure the usual grogginess achieved...
Pop.NotPop Festival (Keller Klub) Stuttgart -...
It is a long way to Stuttgart by car. Well, from Göttingen it isn’t that bad, but the way back is loooooooooooooong. It takes years.
Back to that later.
We played in the Keller Klub alongside a band (“band” might be the wrong word, but then again, “project” is a horrible word, they definitely aren’t a “project”) called LAING. If you live in a cave...
Apex Göttingen - 11.11.2011
The 11th of November is special for some, because they either like 11.11.11 thing, or because it is the date of the armistice a.k.a. the end of the first world war. Blah. Whatever. “Words”.
For I Heart Sharks it is special, as it is the anniversary of Simon’s birth, known to other people as his birthday. Blah. Whatever. “Words”.
We’d never been to Göttingen,...
Sweat! Club Leipzig - 10.11.2011
About three years had passed since our last visit to Sweat! in Leipzig. To us, Leipzig has always meant a lot, as it was our first ever concert outside of Berlin. Back then, not even the promoter really knew what we sounded like, and I think we played an absolutely terrible show. Can’t really remember, though.
This time was very, very different. Support came from KRAHNSTOVEN, a synth based...
Mau Club Rostock - 05.11.2011
We’d been looking forward to tonight for quite a while - and then a week ago we found out KRAFTKLUB (Sex auf Deutsch) had also been booked to play the same night. The terror kicked in. Both of us in the same place, both with an off-day the day after. It was bound to end in tears.
The concert was amazing. 14 years indie party in Rostock, organised by a really nice team of people who’d...
MDR Heimattour Weißenfels - 04.11.2011
We played in Sachsen-Anhalt with the beautiful and talented LAING. Check them out.
They gave us a very sterile backstage, so we decided to get as many cliches into one picture as possible. A triangle, planking and colour gradient. Word.
Ow.
Cairo Würzburg - 03.11.2011
Bavaria isn’t a word often synonymous with crazy parties (apart from Oktoberfest, of course) - but after Würzburg, I think people need to start thinking differently.
AUSVERKAUFT. SOLD OUT. Woop woop.
Our attempt to get 5 million people in a car made for 4 ended up in tears after a police car stopped us after an entire TEN METRES. Oh dear. But we don’t drink and drive. No sir. We...
