worst show/club you‘ve ever played:
There is always something positive. Playing is usually fun, there are generally cool people to be met at shows – and in the worst case you still have a few drinks with your mates.
funniest thing ever happened on tour:
Half of the band got lost for hours in Graz and met accidentally on the road home.
Favourite tour drink:
Beer, we’re conservative in this regard. Support independent breweries!
alltime favourite record in the tourbus:
Schmachwanderunk – Ey du Bauer & Los Fastidios – Antifa Hooligans. These two always lift the mood.
These 5 bands inspired us:
Social Distortion, Bad Religion, Propagandhi, Stiff Little Fingers, Rancid
one band you want to play with:
We couldn’t agree on a single favourite, but we were lucky to play with Bad Religion & Good Riddance this year, so these two are off the list.
a „no-go“ at your shows:
Nazis, right-wingers and assholes of all kinds.
Future plans:
Write new songs, play only cool and fun shows. If we can pull ourselves together, new videos, because people look at music these days.
that’s something we want to achieve as a band:
We currently live in different countries, this complicates the situation. Our main achievement might therefore be to keep the band together, continue doing the punk rock thing and to stay friends all the while.
