Boy, that is a rude time we are having right now. The last gig went okay, but it was not the crackling firework we expected it to be. Some 10 days ago we played the first show of the TRIPLE CROWN TOUR at the Cave in Frankfurt; only (?) some 35 paying guests attended the show, making it a crowd of 50 including all the guest list guys. One problem was definetely the entrance fee of 9 Euros on a Wednesday night, but we couldn’t do anything about it even though we tried hard. The sound onstage was not perfect but still okay, and we heard that the sound in the audience was not that good: only one guitar and too low voices. Anyway, we had some fun up there, mostly due to the truckload of accidents that happend: a broken bass drum kick thingy, breaking guitar strings all over the place, the famous guitar-change-chaos-with-adjoined-cable-salad, out of tune guitars, lights so bright you couldn’t see your own fingerboard, and so on. It didn’t feel quite right, even though our fans and the other bands told us we we’re quite good that night. But the feel wasn’t right, damn it! So, off of the stage, and getting drunk was a nice option. Bif thumbs up and thanx again to all our fans for attending the show, “hut-abs” to the Bläuen Szöök and Careless, thanx to Chris for letting us play the Cave, and a big fuckoff to the overpriced guy mixing the sound; he was okay, don’t get us wrong, but 130 Euros was definetely far too much for the performance he delivered.
And by now the band is on sick roll with a swollen knee and two flus…so we’re out of order right now; hopefully we will be back at our bunker by April to practice the new song waiting there for us, and preparing the next gig on May 1 at Darmstadt…
