5. Münster>Osnabrück>NeubrandenburgIts finally DAGGERS day. we get up late as usual, play PS3 at Pascal's for way too long and reach the place where we re meant to pick up the new van late. It's all good though. The Van is comfy and has a big trunk so all our gear fits in easily.
Daggers are waiting at the local Europecar station. Winter crashes down on us with tons of fresh snow. After a very emotional reunion that includes nudity we all jump in the van cause we we have quite a way to go.
being in a van with daggers is always fun, always dirty and it only takes about an hour or two until half of the passengers take off their clothes.
Arriving in Neubrandenburg was quite a sight. The AJZ is located on a little hill right in between the woods and next to a lake. huge trees surround the little cottage and all in all the place holds a nice atmosphere.
IMPORTANT: this was by far the best food i had at any show on this tour. we were served like kings and i had a hard time walking after finishing what felt like 184 plates plus the chocolatte stuff that was scattered all over the place.
The place has nice bunk beds right above the venue so we just chill there and listen to the bands play downstairs. we finish a bottle of becks alcohol free to fill it with beer to make Time's Up drummer Chris drunk but i stop half the way cause of feeling bad to play such a prank on him.
This also marks our last night with Time's Up which turned out to be new friends. They play their best set so far on this trip and we enjoy the time before our set starts.
Lots of Fog this night, kids moshing me off my feet during our own set and a stressed photographer that hates our smokeblower!
Dave and Thomas play a crazy set on the piano for everyone and get on everyones nerves for being wasted douchebags. perfect night!!!
6. Leipzig + New Years Eve Party
just a short drive to get to leipzig. Niclas the promoter of tonights show welcomes us with massive Fallafel Sandwiches that i will never forget in my entire life. i needed instruction on how to eat that monster.
The show turns out to be somewhat experimental. i play bass and dom sings. i suck hard, dom is doing just fine. all in all it was okay.
We get our shit together, collect tons of booze and move to Connewitzer Kreuz to watch people shoot their money up into the atmosphere. Tons of USK riot cops giving us nervous looks.
After freezing our asses off for a couple of hours we move to Conne Island to party til the roof comes off. We afford to pay for drinks collecting bottles and cups which makes sense since theres about 12.000 lying about everywhere. the barkeepers get pissed but we couldnt care less. I guess we drink about 50 drinks without paying just because of that. perfect!
we leave the club at around 11 in the morning and jump on and into any bush we can find cause it had snowed so much, hitting the floor just didnt hurt anymore. we get a little violent and fight each other on the way home. obstacles like cars or containers are proudly climbed upon and it ends with me emptying my stomach on some random benz.
since we get in last, thomas and i sleep right next to the door in the hallway and we can feel techno kids entering and leaving the place every now and then via our backs.
We slept like babys though :)
7. Dessau
we wake up at around 4 pm and ever since starting this tour this was hangover #1
The Beatclub in Dessau is a big place with a nice PA and a big stage. We meet labelmates DS and have a few beers before playing. The promotors prepared nice food and were extremely nice and welcoming.
I am having a hard time staying on my feet during the whole set. My nose starts bleeding as usual and i fight passing out on the last song. This marks Day 1 of my body fighting back.
We meet awesome locals and hang out a bit more. Everyone except for me gets mor PFEFFI and chill.
The dude with the pornoschnauz is THE MAN of the evening by far!
Here's a short clip of all the bands and some weird interviews of that night:
