Happy new year

Hi everybody, I know I am a bit slow with updating this blog in the moment but I definitely wanted to wish all of you a happy new year :-)

Chapter one

God, time flies, did we really already finish the first European block of our tour? It went by incredibly fast and I have to say it was awesome and a lot of fun. A big thanks to all of you who came to the shows and had a party with us. Many people keep asking me which show has been my fave, but I have to say that I can't really name just one, basically all of them were really cool, but if I had to chose I would pick at least 5 shows that were incredibly cool in my opinion: Düsseldorf, London, Moscow, Milan and Madrid, in no particular running order. And if you wonder why I liked those ones the most... well, I can't really answer this ;-) They are just the ones that come to my mind first. Now we will enjoy our short time at home before we continue touring in the USA next week, so see you guys there soon.

The big day

So far the tour is running great, all the shows have been cool, but today we reached the big one, our "hometown" gig in Düsseldorf. The Philipshalle is one of my fave venues ever and we played some very special shows here over the years, but the really special thing is of course the presence of all our families and friends. I am just putting together my guestlist for today and it is "slightly" bigger than the average one... Of course this always puts a bit of pressure on us, when you play in front of your friends and families you of course want to be good, but I think we don't have to worry about that, things will be fine and it will be a great show, I am definitely looking forward to it.
