Now in Köln, also known as Cologne, also known as German Fetish-shop numero uno!

Guten tag! Eine hesclichen shnautzhe!

What is up dudes? We're in Cologne after a pretty long drive. Satan is seriously leaking oil, so we've spent between 50 and 2394 euros on oil today. It's crazy. This is crazy. Who's fucking idea was this? A stupid persons! Stupid!

OK. We're having a good time! We headlined in Berlin yesterday and it was DA BOMB. I was seriously tired (getting old) so I fell asleep backstage while the first band was playing, and I slept all the way through the second bands set, who are called Horrible Trees. Our good friend Christian is in the band, and I was really looking forward to seeing them. I hate falling asleep. It's the worst thing that happens to you. Except maybe if someone dropped their cargo on your food or something, or replaces salt with sugar or something nuts like that. I woke up and ten minutes later we were onstage playing Cats On Fire. There was a really nice crowd, and some people said nice things to us. To our faces and ears. We don't understand german, so they just spoke english. Except this one guy, who spoke danish. That was cool. We had a great time, although the sound on stage was a bit dodgy, to say the least.

We did an interview for the german branch of Bandbase. Check it out, peeps:



We slepped at Christians place and he offered us this whiskey which was nice. I don't remember the name of it. But it could have been something like: 'Whiskey-Whiskey-Woop-Woop'. But probably not.

So I think this jabber was enough for now. We love you, and we miss you.

We're in motherflippin' Berlin!

Although it took us like 7 hours to get here from Hamburg (What's up with that?). We had a good time in the van though. Martin, Daniel and I made some really nice poems about corn and other stuff. Yesterday we drove by a guy that was really messed up and he gave us the finger (you know, the fuck sign). So that was kind of weird. Other than that Hamburg was really awesome. The staff was extremely nice to us and made all kinds of sandwiches and were talkative. The support band Faraday played a very nice gig, and I guess we had some 40 people in there (capacity was 60), and they enjoyed our gig and we had to play an encore and stuff, which never happens. At all. Ever. Uh uh.

Casper (our friend from Århus who once did something pretty dirty and weird while driving a truck) is driving the van for these dates. He drinks our beer, and smokes all the time and calls us names, just not our names. Satan and him are getting along ok, although I don't know what it means in car-ish when a windshield-wiper starts malfunctioning? Anyone?

The soundcheck is now over, and it was interesting. The venue is really awesome. We just did an interview and we sound so stupid. The asked us to do an acoustic song, so we played a little bit of the middle part in Dads. It was..... also... interesing.

I'm gonna get some food. I'm dying here.

Tour update 1

Hey guys

THE TOUR IS ON!!!

We are currently sitting at Haus 73 in Hamburg. The promoter was kind enough to hook us up with a free breakfast which is absolutely legen...... wait for it..... DARY.  We played at the Astra Stube  yesterday. Very small venue where the stage is about the same size as the floor. The crowd was awesome and the other band Faraday was equally awesome and the singer Till even let us stay at his couch and floor. Awesome. 

In a couple of minutes we will get on the bus and head for Berlin where we are playing at Live At Dot. Hopefully it will be just as good as the opening night.

More to follow

And the tour beginns....!

You like the new T-shirt?!

This is it! Tomorrow we jump into our old friend Satan, the Mimas crew with our manager Martin, and head on our first tour around Europe to play some gigs and promote the release of The Worries in France and Spain. We'll be playing some cities I've always wanted to visit and some other amazing cities I've never been to like Zurich, Paris, Madrid and Luxembourg. It's going to be fun! And it's probably going to be hot as hell, as we're driving in a black bus, with no air-con and only the two front windows can be opened.. Yes, that is stupid. But hey, nothing will stand in our way. I've bought a lot of extra socks, underwear and I've bought a season of Family Guy and that show called Taken. Good times.

So I havn't packed anything but I am washing some clothes for the trip. If you guys think of anything really handy to have with you on a very hot trip around Europe please let me know.

I'll try and update this site, and we'll be doing a video-diary at www.bandbase.de I'm also going to be tweeting like a maniac.

Aight. I'll leave you with this piece of music, cause I can.

Capillary Action

Oh man.... These guys onthe photo are staying at my place and arrived yesterday. We had some really nice food, beers and wine and played some good old Nintendo Nes (which both Drummer-Dan and Trombone-Sam are really good at)! These guys are from all over the states but the band, which is a project led by the very good Jonathan (in the middle) and he's from New York. Lauren (correct, the girl) is his girlfriend and will definitely be the coolest mother some day. Bass-Spencer hates my stove as it was giving him a really hard time, but on the other hand I think Elva (my daughter) made a nice impression on him, and vice versa. They're good friends by now.

Well! They played a gig tonight here in Århus (they've been on tour for THREE months) and it was.... mindblowing! Seriously, I've never experienced such an incredible musicianship and talent combined with a really, really high level of originality. Everyone who was present in the audience shat bricks (to use an expression I learned from Dan the Man). You should check them out right now. If I know these guys right they're probably in touch with a promoter in your city and planning a gig somewhere near you. Check out their myspace here!

Thanks to Capillary Action for stopping by Århus, it's been such a plesure having you! Be back soon!

Best,
Snævar

Poitiers

Just got the last date confirmed for the tour which will be in a little french city called Poitiers at a venue called Cafe Du Clain with our friends in Alaska Pipeline. The gig is on June 19th, oh yeah.

A little fact about Poitiers: Poitiers was founded by the Celtic Pictones tribe as the oppidum Lemonum before Roman influence. The name is said to have come from the Celtic word for elm, Lemo. (Yes, this was just copy/pasted from wikipedia)

I love cats.

I know..

You guys probably be hate me for not writing here that much. I kind of feel bad about it. So, I've decided that every mondays and fridays will be my blog days! Maybe I won't be blogging twice a week but definitely once a week. Twitter has totally taken over me... Sorry Blogger... Sorry myspace, sorry facebook, sorry official website..

I really had to show you this. A fellow named Carlos made this website, and I think it rules. Our first fan-site, so I really think you should check it out and say hi to Carlos for using his time to promote Mimas to the world. We sure need it :-) www.mimasasylum.com Thanks so much Carlos!
