worst show/club you‘ve ever played:
It was an indoor festival in Germany. We arrived there at 6pm and we our stage time should be at 11pm. No problem for us time to relax, eat and have some drinks. In the end we were playing half past 4 in the morning. George was already vomiting into the bonfire. Generally all were totally drunk. None of us can fully remember the show. You can imagine what it sounded like. And you know we can also just speculate as we cannot remember. A guy was falling down of his seat at the end of our set and fell asleep on the floor. It was 15 minutes after 5 in the morning. Perfect end of a crazy night and show.
funniest thing ever happened on tour:
The whole Russian tour was a blast especially because of our driver Dimov. Driving streets you would not pass with a monster truck “It’s normal, it’s Russia”. You cannot order three eggs, just two or five. “It’s normal, it’s Russia”. Start the engine of the van even before we go on stage. “It’s normal, it’s Russia”. At the end of the tour: Dimov please write down your full name and mail address to stay in contact (Dimitry something). What your name is not Dimov? “It’s normal, it’s Russia”
Favourite tour drink:
KANISTRA (Russian SCHNAPS), BORN (Bier und Korn), BETON (Becherovka, Tonic)
alltime favourite record in the tourbus:
Schwesterherz – Gedankenleser
These 5 bands inspired us:
Neil Young (Harvest)
Wizo (Bleib tapfer)
Greenday (Old stuff)
Boon (first two records)
No Use For A Name

Andreas Gabalier – The Bowser, the Mr. Bison, the final boss of all Punkrock Bands. But not sure if we want to provide a stage for this shity guy!

a „no-go“ at your shows:
Forgetting to cheer before the gig!
Future plans:
Going separate ways but staying friends! Staying true to the music in one way or another!

Remember the time back as a band with a smile on our faces!
