New old looks...

The smartest and sharp-sighted among you might have noticed that we've once again changed the looks of this site. Unfortunately, there were slight security problems with the old one (in other words, some fucking spammers were using our domain to send millions of spam mails, hi motherfuckers!), so we had to send her to sleep. While we decide what to do with the site (which was needing a revamp anyway for some time now), we've decided to put this lighter version of it, not as fancy, we know, but trustworthy...

Mal wieda janz weit draußen

Endlich hatte uns Spandau wieder. Cleanest club alive. For sure. Muss immer wieder betont werden.
Und jedes mal schön zu beobachten, dass wenn man dort musikalisch nicht als ZZ-Top-Verschnitt, Manowar-Coverband oder Bluesrock-mit-Schlagzeugsolieinwürfen-Combo auftritt, man zunächst mal angeschaut wird,als wolle man Rockmusik im Savoy in Göttingen präsentieren.
Sorry.War ein kleiner Insider.
Doch wie immer hatten wir dann unser ganz spezielles Lieblings-Publikum (das is nichma gelogen) recht bald im Griff und alle waren glücklich. Wir auch, denn das "schlecht geprobt ist gut gekonzertelt"-Prinzip hat diesma prächtig funktioniert.
Ich stelle immer wieder fest, dass wenn man das Gefühl hat, nicht ganz so dolle eingespielt zu sein,sprich wenn man sich seiner Sache nicht so gaaanz sicher ist, dann konzentriert man sich etwas mehr und stellt auch ab und an fest, dass da ja noch zwei andere auf der Bühne sind, die auch mitspielen wollen. Und das gerne mit einem zusammen .
Ich fands super!
Alles in allem ein gelungener Abend... danke an alle, die dabei waren.
Zum Abschluß noch folgendes: Letztes Jahr ist mir wie Ihr alle wisst nach dem Sage-Club-Gig der Gaszug meiner Amelie gerissen. Freitag ist mir nach dem JWD-Gig der Kupplungszug meines Cinques gefatzt.
Ich hoffe für meine Bandmitglieder,dass wenn uns bald der weltweite Erfolg einholt, nicht die Bremsleitungen unseres Tourbusses versagen oder der Schubregler unseres Privatjets klemmt.
Denn dann is Schluß mit lustig!
So long,
TT

So long ago...

Yesterday I spent a few hours recording old MiniDisc demos into the computer. There was a lot of crazy stuff from around 1999-2000, including very early demos of Sovereign's Crown, Berlin, The World's In B&W, Mars Is Waiting and a bunch of pre-productions of Why Cow?, Sugar And Caffeine, Frames Of The Past and similar shit from that time.
Some was recorded with my old but precious Yamaha cassette four-track (a gift from Jorge), some was done with the band during summer of 2000, with Miguelo on drums, Jorge on guitars, and me on everything else (that was during a short bassist-less period where I had to take the duties of the four-strings on stage). Funny times, and very creative ones indeed. Sometimes I miss the old fashioned way of demoing ideas, just pressing "rec" on the cassette recorder and playing and singing the first shit that came to my head. Nowadays, with so much digital recorders and the search for perfection (even in lousy demos), some of that old spark gets lost in the way, and you tend to overthink the songs too much. Shit, I think I'm bringing out the mic and the MiniDisc out again to keep it ready... (the cassette recorder died long ago).
I also found some very interesting riffs and ideas I had completely forgot. There's a way cool one of me fucking around with a distorted 12-string Rickenbacker which sounds killer even after all this time. Gotta bring it out again.
Ah, I'm getting sentimental...
