Next gig:
We´re just talking about playing in Montecchio, Italy just before Christmas. Nothing fixed yet.

Worst show/club you‘ve ever played:

Open Air at lago di Garda: playing at the beach while people were taking a walk at the lakeside and passing by as fast as they could! Nice view though!

Funniest thing ever happened on tour:
We played with the Methadones in Switzerland and the other band playing that night got in a big argument backstage. As it turned out the female singer of the band was a professional Wrestler. As you might guess it didn´t end well for her bandmembers but we got to see some great moves including chairfights, tableslams and broken glass. Bad for the guys but great entertainment for us.

Favourite tour drink:
We don´t have a favourite, but most necessary: Water!

Alltime favourite record in the tourbus:
In our early days we listened to „Loco Live“ by the Ramones on the way to every show. Now we still sometimes do, although it´s by far not the best Ramones Record. Haha

These 5 bands inspired us:

Puhh…only 5 is tough! So let us try to divide a bit between genres:
RAMONES, BUDDY HOLLY, BEACH BOYS, BLACK FLAG & HEAD

One band you want to play with:
SCREECHING WEASEL or THE MR.T EXPERIENCE

a „no-go“ at your shows: 
Discrimination

Future plans:
Today laundry, tomorrow not sure!

That’s something we want to achieve as a band:
Stay true to ourselves, keep our friendship working, have fun with what we do and try make our music as good as we can
