Dear folks!

It´s been about a week since we are back from our trip to Mexico. Mexico? Fuck yeah!
In the end of 2009 we were lucky to get to this country for the first time in our lives. What a great experience! I don´t wanna tell you too much about all those culinary and adventurous highlights, also I will skip the story of enjoying every warm sunbeam on our winter-depressed, European pale skin. But, again, I wanna let you know how thankful we are to some people who managed that we were able to play some funny shows (including a LiveTV show), who treated us with great hospitality and introduced us to their country in a way, so we will never forget it.
Some people may consider Mexico as a poor, trashy, dangerous country with corrupt cops and weird taxi drivers. I say: It´s also a beautiful big spot on earth, where daily improvisation is far more important and appropriate than in our "western" cage of standardizations.

See you again, Clondementto, Sergio, Herwig, Vrede, girls and boys!

Hey, dear people  - caught in the interweb!

We just returned from the US where we toured through 11 states in 14 days.
To make it short: It was a fantastic tour. Unbelievable how great it was and how much we could enjoy ourselves on every single day on the road. Thanks to Karl from Joyful, thanks to our pals from Haymarket Riot, The Paper Chase, Push-Pull, Sicbay, and all the other bands we shared the stage with. Special thanks to all the people who showed up at the shows and payed attention and listened and bought stuff and treated us friendly and.....
I..m still overwhelmed about how great this tour turned out.

Only, Fuck you....
- you who made our van get towed in Arkansas.
- you doorguy-bouncer-assholes in Indianapolis who threw us and Haymarket out of the venue where we just had our own release show. Fuck you!
And Thanks at the same time, because we are the one who will take advantage out of it by making you look stupid in our biographies! haha!

salut
anatol

ps: Texas is great, by all means. Great.
