Rocco del Schlacko Saarbrücken - 11.08.2012
The festival with the oddest name is actually a very big festival which ignorant people like you and me had never heard of. 30,000 people were there to watch bands like Korn, Social Distortion, The Wombats, Heaven Shall Burn and… erm… I Heart Sharks.
We played on top of the Red Bull bus, which on this day had been transformed into a real stage with massive speakers on each side....
Olgas Rock Oberhausen - 10.08.2012
Back to a normal, two-festival weekend. This one was full of rock stuff - we have a guitar and drums, that makes us a rock band, right?
Although the show was in the afternoon we had a great time. Thanks to everyone who was there.
Revellers.
Earporn Island Festival Lübeck - 04.08.2012
Lübeck. The city with lots of church spires and angels with skulls for faces. Beautiful place.
We played on a beach near the harbour. Well, I say beach, but it was one of these things where people take sand - which is the most annoying part of a beach anyway - and put it somewhere near water and call it a beach. BUT, having moaned about that, everyone was really friendly and there was a pool, and...
and a few hours later... Juicy Beats Dortmund -...
Naturally there was a traffic jam and all of the roads we blocked and it was raining and bla bla bla. Nevertheless, we arrived on time to watch the end of DILLON’s set, which we really enjoyed. Big fans of her voice and sounds.
The concert was the perfect end to a perfect weekend filled with lots of odd experiences and situations.
We didn’t have time to take any photos, but we played...
Omas Teich Festival Großefehn - 28.07.2012
Last time we played tow shows in one day we had so much fun, we thought we might repeat the experience. Last time both shows were only 70 kilometres apart - albeit in two different countries - but today we were playing in two places 350 kilometres from one another.
We had a great time at Omas Teich. It’s always difficult to play during the afternoon as people aren’t always in the mood...
Rocken am Brocken Elend - 27.07.2012
To play a festival in a place called Elend bei Sorge is already a pretty bad omen - directly translated it means Misery by Worry. Or Despair by Worry. We couldn’t decide. Some guy in a pub on the way told us it was where the Black Plague broke out in Germany. Lovely. But that was a long time ago.
As we arrived the weather was beautiful. Clear blue skies and a cool summer breeze. Summer....
