Riot in Munich… People screamed so much I couldn’t hear what I was singing but I am not complaining! Munich, you’re still on the map! You were our first audience and will always be. I wanted to write the blog, but our internet connection in the bus is so slow…
Arriving in Berlin, near the place I used to live, felt so strange. I can’t explain it. On one side, my memories of a fast life, but also like it never happens. I remembered all the cafés I used to go with my friends, the clubs and after hours, the park where I used to lay down in the sun… Now, in front of them, team and precious friends, anxious to be an old boring electronic band. Lido was full, again, lucky. And we constantly have something to prove, night after night, especially here. Berlin is a difficult place for bands. I drunk a dry vodka or two before starting. Bad idea. I missed a line on the 1st track, enough to bring me back on Earth. God I had to fight for them, take them by the balls. If I look comfortable on stage, move, scream, it’s an illusion, the only weapon to catch them. If I feel ridiculous, no one wants to know and they’re right. But we made it, we made that damn show to impress our friends! It was mostly a great reward for our team to see the result of their hard work. Should we remind you we autoproduce everything, record to stage, no financial support at all. That’s why you’re more than welcome to support us and visit Fred at the merchandising stand!!!
Backstage, too much talking. Can you imagine, how much I have nothing else to say after 1h30 singing… I usually run away to the bus, put my pyjama and read a book. Silence. But we had to enjoy ourselves after that challenge, enjoy the joys of Berlin! We went to Week-End to hear Tiga, danced like back in the days, drunk, full moon on Alexander Platz! But it was time to go back to the bus, and head to Hamburg. Sweet dreams…
Cet hiver, j’ai suivi, encouragé, supporté une super nana qui faisait le Vendée Globe pour la 1ère fois : Sam Davies ! Son challenge était tellement important, impressionnant que nous étions des milliers et des milliers de fans à avoir rendez-vous avec elle sur son blog chaque jour… jusqu’à la ligne d’arrivée ! Ce fut une aventure fantastique et inoubliable que nous avons tous partagée.
Pourquoi je vous dis ça, parce que cette tournée est une autre sorte de challenge, parce que cette fois-ci non plus je n’embarque pas sur le bateau, mais j’ai quand même envie d’y participer… à ma manière !
A part MK et TH, qui vous accompagne ? combien ? quels sont leur rôle ?
J’ai bien aimé le sujet sur Mannheim ! et la soirée à Berlin ! je vous souhaite plein de bonnes surprises de ce genre sur la route ! Bises à tous… et à + tard !
I was there for your show @ Lido after missing the ones in North America. It was a good occasion to visit Germany for the first time and watching your show made this one of my greatest experiences. I believe I can speak for most of us at the show and tell you, none of us noticed you missing the first line and that the show was a success.
Week-End was a little disappointing I thought. House music just isn’t all that interesting in comparison to a Miss Kittin & The Hacker show. I asked a girl next to you if I could offer you a drink but I think it just came across as creepy, heh. What a great night though, I will always remember it. Cheers to you and the best of wishes on your tour!
Auf Wiedersehen!
Joyeuses Pâques ! Avez-vous trouvé les lapins et les oeufs planqués dans le bus ? … Patience… je vois venir une petite truffe !!!
