Germany Fall Tour - PART 1

1.10
Early morning, Rainy and windy. Four tired swedes pack up the van and leave for autobahn.
This time we have a new 4th member – Thomas, on vocals, percussion and computer.
First stop – Nörgelbuff, Göttingen. It's been 2 years since I last played there – with Indienational tour (Arlock, Haggren, Cuff) This night we had a support act with a beautiful voice: Corinna Weber, thank you Corinna!
Good to be back at Nörgelbuff. After the show we went to stay at a friend, Tom's place. Tom is a brilliant drummer and a very good man. Midnight tea and whiskey.



2.10
Tom helped us to get a german cellphone number, which is so much easier when you speak german - Thank you, Tom!
On the road again going to Berlin and Osterkirche. What we didn't know was that they are rebuilding all the roads in Germany, as they do in Sweden at the moment. (Anything to do with politics.......?)
We got in to this magnificent church a little bit later than planed but well on stage everything turned out good. The room was breathtaking. Here we met Barbara, a very nice photographer who found the music a few weeks ago and joied us for the night – looking forward to see the pics! After the show we went to a little restaurant a block away and had excellent food and beer, then stumbled into our appartement and had a little dancing party before we went to bed. Sadly we didn't have time to see more of Berlin city since we had to leave so early the next morning, but we had a good time in Wedding.



3.10
Wuppertal: steep hills and old houses, a train that is hanging in the air and fun little pop-a-coin-in-machines on the streets. Christoph and Anna who is running 'Domhan' where we played are amazing people, what a wonderful family...and the whole place were glowing of this friendly and warm atmosphere.
Such a nice show and night and what a breakfast the next morning!



4.10
We had a walk to a market where the local artists had their things put out, listened to some nice jazz tunes and had icecream before going on a stroll in the city. We managed to get lost and ended up walking around in a very luxurous neighbourhood before we found our way back to the bar approx. 2 hours later.
Then a quick coffee and goodbye, hope to be back again, and off to spend the next 2 days off at Immylou's – my german home.
On our way we stopped to get lunch and we found some really cool stairs which we will again visit on friday to make a music video. Petter got a big piece off glass in his pizza, suddenly noone was hungry anymore...But when we reached Immylou's we were spoiled by indian food and wine, and a good nights sleep.




Catlove, good friends and nightly talks. 6.10 we will go to Subrosa, Dortmund and continue the tour. More updates will come...
