Tour 2007/2008
Part 1
 | Part 1
Hannover, Café Glocksee
8th November
Here we are again. We arrive bleary eyed and behatted and sit in the airport for 5 hours. Never thought there were so many activities you can do in an airport. Restless hands. Devils tools and all that. We meet jeff who will be our sound man for the journey, admire our new chikinki pants and head to the glocksee. The gig is loud and sweaty and we play with small dogs before getting really lost on route to our bed for the night where we smoke cigars in big leather armchairs. Onward.
Geldern, Fabrikhalle
9th November
Geldern must be one of the few places in germany we haven’t been to yet. We’re playing in a warehouse kitted out with mannequins. Freezing. The dressing room is a boardroom so boris gets sacked. Ah well. People from geldern are crazy we have to concede. After the gig we jump in the van to the only club to discover a couple of old ladies sat in the bus ready to go. Not for long. We drink, we dance, we notice the tv screens in the club are showing us. All night. Oh and we found jesus. He was behind the door all along.
Muenster, Amp
10th November
We like muenster. We like cats. Imagine a club in muenster covered in cats. Tonight is a night of drunkenness and old friends. Lovely. The gig is really fun and we drunkenly do a tv interview after the show which rapidly goes downhill.
Hamburg, Prinzenbar
11th November
Hamburg, Hamburg. So good they named it. We arrive sore of head and empty of belly to a session on a balcony. It’s freezing. Back at the prinzenbar, probably the most elaborate club absolutely rammed and sticky. Also the gig! Any trip to hamburg would be incomplete witout a trip to the poodle club and we dutifully oblige to catch some wonderfully silly electronica before heading off to play kicker and drink vodka shots until we can’t see anymore. Day off in hamburg the next day so boris, steve and jeff head to a spa and get told off for wearing shorts so naked saunas and swimming it is. Then off to see the klaxons and then to another club to catch dogs play, chat, drink and play more kicker before heading off to the various sleeping places we’ve managed to blag.
