Worm food? Warm food!!!

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

First of all: KOMma-Tom, you roq! You were the first guy who offered us a warm meal…instead of beer and occasional sandwiches only. So kudos to you! Also for your place which consists of 2 (two!) backstage rooms and a comfy medium sized stage :) That was fun!!

In advance to the show we were announced in the local newspaper…three columns wide and a big pic above the whole thing. Wow! Check the pictures section – as soon as we have included the snippet…in a few days hopefully!! The newspaper heading was “Punk!”, so we now officially also play PunqRoq, along with our regular AlternaRoq stuff.

But let’s get to the point…our support “Four Hout Fellas” were quite a show and really rocked out big time as they covered a lot of Punk classics, and also a version of a Sublime song…props to you guys! The other band had canceled and was replaced by “Noteingang”, a quite energetic and true punkband. I didn’t listen to much of it, but it sounded like fun. We ourselves did perform quite good that night, even though the always problematic stage sound was a bit of a downer. Nevertheless, we roqed, it felt really good up there, and we celebrated Malina’s birthday on stage :) She went up on stage and sang along her favorite Blash song, “Always Good”, and did a nice job there. Happy birthday once more! Thanx for being such an outstanding fan of our little band! And, last and most important, thanx to our girlfriends, who spend the evening filming, taking fotos, smiling, nodding their heads, and being there for us!!

Head on full throttle

We’re approaching the final months of this year, and things are looking good as far as we’re concerned…

-> We have confirmed two more shows, one being on Sept 19 at the “KOM,ma” in Langen, the other on Dec 19 at the “Devil’s Place” in Saarbruecken, and a additional one is still pending.

-> We have shot our first video footage which is now being edited and which will be published on this site this month; it’s a very rough bunkerstyle thingy, and we still don’t know what it will look and sound like…I’m talking about suspense here…truckloads of suspense!

-> As the summer is closing we have now installed a fan in our bunker, meaning at least a little breeze can be created so all the sweat gets blown off instead of running down all the way head to toes…which is good!

-> And……we are happy to have our mic stand back which was lost – or got mixed up with other stuff – at our gig in August. So, welcome back, my beloved good old metal-made device . Oh, and we now own a banner of our own: big, black, bad-ass design, a real burner…just wait for the next gig…and get ready to be blown away just by the look of it…really…no bullshitting!!

Ok folks, have an easy time ’till we meet again, thanks to Jah or whoever conducts this symphony of chaos we call life, and enjoy your being around…
