GO EAST YOUNG MAN !!!

Chemnitz was cold as the proverbial witches tit but Subway To Peter (love that name) was a great venue. Really good crowd and despite my amp Getting a little bit fucked up we played a great Rock N Roll gig. The post gig pageantry (as predicted by exiled Irish Rock N´Roller John McKeever) involved the house special...Vodka with Garlic in it. Guess What....It was fucking lovely. Way nicer than ordinary vodka...It almost felt like a meal. The Highlight of the Chemnitz experience though was the Band Room that we slept in. Ill post some photos of that when i get the chance.

Next was Berlin. Colm joined us for the Gig and Shaun for a few tunes, Georgia Girl was a beautiful moment. The crowd were great. Best gig of the tour so far. Schokoladen is a top venue. Later on we went to Le Cercle Rouge - a beautiful new bar owned by Fredovich from King Khan And The Shrines. We had a couple of swallies a couple of Tequilas and mused over the inappropriateness of having a band called KKK Radio and having a song called Black Hitler but how amazing it would be to hear it announced on the radio. The simple pleasures of shite talk!!! - Great Night.

About to jump in the van to go to Kiel now. Ill post some photos soon.

  1. Chemnitz has a face only a mother could love, but you could say that about my home town aswell. My memories of the place are of snow, freezing temperatures and good stout on tap, garlic vodka, dancing on tables to sally mclenane to the sound of breaking glass, furniture and the beer tray i was bashing on my own skull. The next morning to ease our heads we played "russian front" in the derelict tennement buildings up the street, much to the confusion of some 80 something pensioners when we crashed into their yard shouting that the Ivans were coming in pigeon German. I hope i see the big chimney of the cement works there soon!
