ITS B-B-BLEEDIN' B-B-BALTIC!!!

After a crazy long drive yesterday im mainly fucked-up snowy conditions myself and Michael reached the former East-German town of Schwerin. Hats off to Mick for his driving skills as well as patience and concentration, it really was a treacherous journey. We recieved a warm welcome as well as a hot bowl of soup from the owners of Cafe Kuntabund, lovely venue reminded me of the kind of place youd see photos of the Velvet Underground playing in NYC back in the day, lots of the small venues in Germany actually remind me of that, anyway, i digress. The gig was great, the best one on the tour so far, im staring to get my voice back and the comedown from all the heavy drinking of xmas and new year is almost over and im back on an even keel. Im trying to eat as healthy as possible and limit my drinking to seven nights a week.

This morning after a nice breakfast with Bea the owner of the venue and a bit of a walk around Schwerin we set off for Kiel taking a slightly longer and safer route. The city of Kiel is situated on the Baltic sea, its a big shipping port, its fucking freezing. Im writing this from tonights venue 'Prinz Willy' where i have played before its a great little spot so im looking forward to the gig. Im also looking forward to tomorrow which will be my first day without doing a gig in 14 straight days...its tough at the bottom.
