It’s nice to really focus on playing and getting every note right, but we’re looking forward to rock in front of people again.
We’re on the road from April 19 again and will play shows in Germany, Belgium, France and Luxembourg till Mid June. Check the tourdates….
Afterwards we shoot videos, mix and master and do all the other stuff that is neccessary for a new album…

See you on the road somewhere!

Looking forward to meet all our british friends, make some new ones, hit the stores in Brighton for some Mod clothes and have a healthy english breakfast every day…
See you all in a few weeks!

Here are some experiences we made on the road for your entertainment:

• It’s great to play concerts in different parts of Europe. Rumst and Liege were a blast as always and we added Wilkau Haßlau to our “favourite cities to play” -list. Thanks to everyone who helped with the shows, turned up and went crazy…we love you very much.
• We enjoyed a strange alcoholic drink called the “Pfefi” (go to Dessau, if you don’t know it, it’s green and tastes very medical…), fell even more in love with Dub, when we saw Dub Spencer & Trance Hill last weekend and learned that playing at a barbecue at 4 p.m is also fun to play (thanks Mietzi, Julia and Annelike).
• Our Braunschweig fans got distracted a little by the damned European Football contest, but rocked anyway. Pregnant women turned up at the show and had fun…
• Playing in the countryside can be better than big cities sometimes, but you never know. At least they don’t have CCTV cameras, which find out about traffic violations you didn’t know exist…London is definitely our favourite place to drive a car now, although Amsterdam is nearly as entertaining…
• We had the first concert shuttle bus in our ten year career. A bus from Canterbury brought some old punk rockers and psychos to Staple, which rocked so hard that they tore down the PA and gave Rob’s guitar a few new scratches. Thanks Pete for the great show!
• Ralph and Rob took the Razorblades beat and power to new heights, while the bass player’s face changed on every tour…thanks to Rudolph, Randy, Richie and Ringo for filling Ray’s shoes, who’s now busy playing with IN LEGEND.
• Our 10^th anniversary party was fun…thanks to the Schlachthof and the Phantom Four, who did a great opening set.

So what are we doing now?

We’ll rest a little and work on new songs for the next record…studio is booked for February 2013 and we consider even more singing than on the last record.

Check out the tour dates for the fall.

We’ll go to the UK for a ten day trip and will play a lot of gigs in Germany from September to December. See you then and enjoy the summer!

after some nice shows in various european countries, we’re getting ready for our 10th anniversary party on May 11 at the Schlachthof in our hometown Wiesbaden.

We hope to see a lot of friends and familiar faces. Be prepared for some funky new songs, some cool new cover versions and our usual rockin’ stage appearance! If you want to bring a cake, you’re welcome!

Please turn up on time, we play early and before us there are the brillant Phantom Four from the Netherlands. Don’t miss them, it’s their only German show!

Afterwards you can party all night long with the THE SWING DING: DO THE HULA-HULA-BALKAN-TWIST DJ team and have a beer with us….

See you in May!!!

We start the tour with a weekend in Germany, then travel to France, Luxemburg, Italy, Belgium, Holland and the UK. Our big birthday party will happen in our hometown Wiesbaden on May 11th. See you there!

Apart from that, we have new members. Please welcome Ralph Razorblade on the drums and Rudolf/Randy/Random Razorblade on the bass guitar. Since Ray and Regina want to pursue other musical adventures, it was time for a change. The new lineup has been getting in shape. We’re already working on new songs for the next record and added some new coverversions to the setlist. You’ll be surprised!

OK, see you at one of the shows. Here’s the list:

71 shows in 11 countries

33000 km

5 drummers, 2 bassplayers, 1 guitarist

1 new record with 19 songs

We had tons of great shows, saw amazing places and met wonderful people everywhere. Thanks to everyone, who set up a gig, cooked for us, gave us a place to sleep (we appreciate it, even when it’s just a living room floor) or just came to the gig and had fun dancing, screaming and drinking..

So it’s time for a break…After wrapping up the year with a show at the Ponyhof in Frankfurt, we get off the road till march.

We wish you a happy time till spring. Have a nice christmas (if you still need presents, our shop is open 24/7), a happy new year and come back to the concerts in 2012…it’s our 10th aniversary then and we’ll be back with some surprises…Stay tuned!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
