Well, basically we sat down and dominik drove. Many many kilometres. We sometimes got out of the van and took a piss or woke up and read very interesting novels. Occasionally we listened to music like Johnnie Rook or Turbonegra.We crossed mountains, and picknicked in sunny meadows or just stopped at a gasstation. At nights we played clubs.
Like first one, Weinheim, where blikkboks and we played really sweaty shows right before the US troops of Turbonegra took over. What a great night. And morning, cuz when the sun came up we were still dancing in room number 12. Turbonegra rules!....
We headed to Lennestadt, where we played with Adam West. From the ....US.... too, but not really troops. They didn’t bring bubble-gum and had a strict non-smoking policy and so we didn’t know where to go and just stood outside and ate crisps. The show was ok, but I think kids there would have preferred the Ramones.....
Then it was another ..500 miles.. to Pilzen, Czechia. The Pod Lampou was a great club. Such nice people and great show. We sold so many merch we can basically now lay back somewhere at the Isla Bonita. But that’s not us. We go on no matter what! Spread the oldskool punk attitude. So after the show we watched Turbo Negro on dvd and saw lots of people changing from dancing to lying between barstools. ....
My mother always used to say if you can do it at night, you can do it in the morning. No matter how I tried, I have to say my mom is not always right. Somebody dragged me 600 km's to ....Vienna..... ....
Next door Walls of Jericho and some 8 other hardcore/metal bands played that night, so at first I was wondering why they booked us on that date. But luckily it turned out there were lots of people who preferred to hang out with us. Awesome! I liked it a lot, Wien war super, as always.....
In ....Stuttgart.... we met Sucubus. Dominik explained to us that’s creatures sucking out life in men. So no wonder police came when they played. Once we got rid of them (the police, not the band) we rocked out on the aquarium. Not only the girl from ..Rio.. had a great time, so did we. Thanks Micha and Café Stella!....
Then we thought we wanted to play heidi and peter. So we went to Luzern. Boris is one of the finest people in the universe and it was so great and after our show we even did a rehearsal on stage to which people were dancing. The spliffs. The spliffs.....
It was so great at Sedel we decided to cancel the rest of the day and stay there. What a place to be woken up by cows licking at your toes and then getting free tickets to see Abwaerts and Tight Finks. So that’s where we were and we danced the night away.....
When we crossed the Gotthart, we were in the snow. Dominik went out of the van and walked in a lake. We ate olives in the van and just stared at him. He wanted to take pics of Bambix in the snow. We only ate more olives and stared at him. We went on to ....Italy.... on the Roman road. ‘What scenery!’ Sjappi said whilst turning from left to right in his pyjamas. ....
....Brescia.... was nice. We got pizza margarita. You know, the one you never order. But then again, we got six. So six of the one you never order. We played with a great band that night RIV and we had the best sound on stage. So we rocked out, and people were staring at us as if we were eating olives. That’s why we went to Milano the next day. Cox ..18. a.. great squat, great people, the food?!, the table with food?! It was as if the queen and her following had entered the building. Gig was great, we liked it a lot and so did the audience, Rio had his birthday and since he came from Japan, Sjappie did a Japanese version of the song we thought we all know but didn’t . Thanks guys!....
The road back was awfull. Don’t wanna think of it. But we were at the Subway, in Weinheim, where you can get a meter-long sandwich with a complete sheep in it. I stayed in the van and drank some left-over olive-water. But anyway, a Subway where they play Snuff and lots of metal should get a medal. ....
At home I thought , wow what a superb, fuckin’ great tour this was. Then it was time for a wee nap. Bye! XX wick ....
