a couple of days ago we have returned from our journey that we like to call “tour”, but in fact rather was travelling-through-germany-and-getting-on-friendly-people’s-nerves-and-occasionally-playing-a-show.
I totally wanted to write a tour diary, and the massive amount of days off combined with boredom might have been the perfect opportunity to do so, but instead i spent all free time designing the new Beatismurder Records Website.
So i’ll only post a few pictures and some life lessons i learned in ye goode ole Germany:
1.) In Germany, binge drinking before playing a gig may lead to total loss of control of everything and eventually results in falling backwards into your own band’s equipment –> bruised ribs, dead guitar.
2.) In Germany, people can organize an amazing new guitar within 10 minutes, if only you soothe them with psychedelic harmonium drones while making stupid jokes about indian music through a microphone.
3.) We actually have underage female fans. In Germany.
4.) In Germany, people steal drumsticks. Even the ones that are broken (drumsticks, that is, not people).
5.) In Germany, underage female fans with stolen drumsticks in their hands approach you and ask for a free cd.
6.) In Germany, people recognize you as the singer of Liger in random bars, and pay for your Jagermeister.
7.) In Germany, american tourists ask you if your band is Alternative, Metal or Pop.
8.) In German Hotels, breakfast eats you!
9.) In Germany, journalists always carry crayons and ask you to use them to “draw your liveshow for an article i will write about you”.
10.) In Germany, everyone is totally awesome. Even those who say we’re “Indie-Screamo”.
Oh, and did i already mention that we have underage female fans?
Thaaanks and regards to the following people (in no order at all, except for the first name):
ROBERT!!!!, Sophie, Heike, Anne, Max, Carmi, Lars, Tina, Nils, The guy who played before us in Hamburg and whose name i unfortunately can not recall right now, Tine Marie, Caro & Olli, Sometreebjörn, Esra, those boys who borrowed me their guitars in Rosenheim and Berlin, AND SORRY IF I FORGOT TO MENTION YOU ON THIS LIST!!!
A lie is a lie is a lie is a lie
Until the both of us collide
Nested spines
Stapled side to side
While the neighbourhood’s on fire
I shiver like i’ll die
So we kind of just broke up with our booking agency. It was a somewhat mutual divorce and we will stay friends and stuff (but they’ll have to keep the kids).
We’re all sad and bummed out, but here is where you can pitch in:
Are you a booking agent?
If your answer is “yes” and you can be convinced by the fact that we are A-W-E-S-O-M-E pretty good, then get in touch and taste the fame!
We’re mainly looking for a European agency, but anywhere else is just fine too. For taking over the world and stuff like that.
There’s an “About” section that can be accessed through the fancy menu on the top of this page, with all the contact details. Use it!
Same procedure as every… month (?):
New Layout, new blog.
But we’re going to stick with this version for a longer while this time. Promised!
A lot of things are happening in the Ligerverse, we will be continually adding information on our upcoming epic wins and fails and whatnot, so feel free to check back in with us.
There will also be tour diaries again. Because i know you loved them.
There will NOT be pictures of cats with funny captions. Maybe.
