I am being billed as a DJ at the Adrenalin Festival in Belgrade, Serbia on Friday, August 27, 2010 – this DJ set is NOT going to happen. The organizer (Legacy Promotion) never sent us a signed contract or the advance money for flights etc. so I will not be there. Sorry!

Just got back from the Amphi Festival 2010 where I spent 2 days hanging out, chugging vodka, meeting old buddies and new friends and generally having a good time. Oh and we also played a kick-ass show! I mean, I am generally neither modest nor shy, but packing the Staatenhaus from front to back at 14:20 with an audience that dances, claps, sings/screams and even starts a moshpit – I think that deserves the adjective “kick ass”.

I brought my boys Joe and Daniel from SAM as well as the new kid Double G and JL/Das Bus from Straftanz. So nonstop-bouncy-action was guaranteed! Good shit!

The rest of the festival was crazy, too! I spent over 2,5h by the merch booth on Saturday signing CDs, shirts, boobs or festival programs and taking pictures with so many nice people! I am really glad that I did that instead of the doing the normal autograph session in the tent! What dumbfounded me was that I seriously couldn’t walk 10 meters anywhere without someone asking for a picture or an autograph! At one point on Sunday the impromptu-line of people in front of me was exactly as long as the official autograph tent line!

Sorry to the people I had to turn down, but I had to be at certain places at certain times to do interviews!

Thanks to everyone who came to the show and partied so hard! Thanks to everyone who said hi, took photos and gave me a pat on the back. A “hello” to all the sexy girls who snuggled up and a “whaddup?” to all the dudes who shared vodka or beer with me! Hope to see you all at a gig in the future!

After two really cool shows (Gothic Festival in Waregem and DV8 Fest in York). Hung out with lots of old friends and new people (shout-out to Jan of Noisuf-X) and generally had a great time! But now I am getting psyched up for the show next weekend at Amphi-Festival!

Check out the footage from Belgium in the video above and I really hope to see you all at Amphi this Saturday!!!!

Back from a Leipzig after a weekend with 5h of sleep in 3 days. Friday night in Hamburg my man Konsul Kühlsen and I accidentally ended up at Dark Mass and for some reason I didn’t make it into bed before 8am. It wasn’t my fault, really! No, reallllly!! *g*

Made it to Leipzig alive and headed over to the Dark Flower club which was almost completely empty, because it was the week after WGT (people had no money left), one of the first days of great weather this year AND the Eurovision Song Contest was on. And really, despite what scene-people would like to make you believe: they are all a bunch of gay-schlager-adoring, sms-voting and shit-talk loving pansies. So people stayed home to watch the contest *g* It was all good, though, cause I could start the evening by being chill and hanging out with the very nice club crew: Manu, Isa, Ronny, Schelle and DJ PorNo (“Masterblaster auf Ex!”).

After a while the club filled up nicely (I guess everyone had recovered from sunbathing and the shock of Germany actually winning the Eurovision contest) and DJ PorNo and I could get the party started properly! Thanks to all the people who came from out of town just for the DJ set like Birgit or Mandy! Big <3 to Krissy for shaking ass and grinding like a ghetto girl in a Brooklyn hiphop club! That totally made my night *g*. Hi to Dejan (Haujobb) and Anja and definitely Markus Müller for mashing up Combichrist with Black Eyed Peas! Good shit, man!

Leipzig was definitely worth the trip and we are already talking about me going back later this year! Definitely looking forward to that!

Oh, and I won’t mention the 4 drunk calls I got between 8am and 8:20am on Sunday morning from a certain Canadian girl who could barely talk anymore and was apparently wearing nothing but highheels and a mexican poncho!!!

Totally knackered after a quick weekend trip to Canada and back, to play Festival Kinetik 3.0. This was the first FH-show in North America and I’m quite happy with how it turned out!!

Thanks to everyone who came to the Faderhead gig on Sunday and partied despite already having partied for 3 days and despite not knowing most of the songs! It was great fun!

Hi to everyone who partied with us (too many to mention) and sorry to everyone who got vodka into their eyes/nose/face – hm, well, no not really sorry! It comes with the territory *g*

Hope to see you all again soon!

EDIT 1:
In case you were wondering what the Hipster pic Joe Letz is talking about looks like: my girl Tara from Novi Sad/Serbia found it and sent me the link! Go click on:

Thanks, Tara!! <3

EDIT 2:
Here are a few cool live pics taken by the talented Noel that I stole from her Facebook (please don’t sue!!! *g*) …

Still pretty fucked up from 4 days of drinking, partying and lacking sleep – but Moscow was totally worth it.

Many thanks to our hosts Alex (DJ Sect) & Eva who did an outstanding job at making us feel welcome at all times! Such a big difference to the average promoter! It felt like we were family!

Thanks to everyone who came to the show to party with us and greetings to Bella, Christa, Annette and Darja! Hope to see you all again in the future!

And if you couldn’t be there, here’s a little tour video:

EDIT:
Just found this picture of me and Chrissy at 7am after the show. That’s the spirit, haha …

Back from Saturday’s show with Xotox at the P60 in Amstelveen/Netherlands. 7h drive there and 7h back took quite a bit out of me (since I was the driver for the whole trip) but we made it back safe and halfway-sane.

Gerrit and I had a lot of fun playing the show, even though only around 40 people turned up, which is definitely the lowest attendance at a Faderhead concert ever. We’ve been warned that P60 is an unpopular venue, but I didn’t expect it to be that unpopular …

Everyone who was there was in a great mood though, so we turned up the energy and got everyone dancing their asses off! Thanks for coming out and bringing the party! This was once again a reminder to myself that a show in front of 40 people can be more fun than a show in front of 4000!

Drove into Amsterdam on Sunday to walk around, grab some Asian food at Wok To Walk and hang out a bit before driving back home.

Of course we made a little video again which you can see right here:

See you all soon!

Back from a night DJing at Ringlokschuppen/Bielefeld (Germany) with my man DJ Sick.

The party was called “Fieser Freitag” (engl.: Nasty Friday) which will probably get a chuckle from my closest friends *g*

Played a VERY generic set because ultimately the crowd demanded generic songs, so that’s what they got. Tried to put in some lesser known stuff too, but sparsely.

Next up: a show with Xotox at P60 in Amstelveen/Netherlands on Saturday, March 13, 2010. Dutch crowds rule, so that should be good! Hope to see you there!

Just came back from a great concert in Hannover/Germany. We played a show with Frozen Plasma and once again the crowd in Hannover rocked! Can’t wait to get back here for the Christmas Ball shows.

Happy new year everyone! I hope you all had a good time yesterday?

To start 2010 the right way, here’s the official music video for the “Horizon Born Club Edit:

For all of you who couldn’t be at the show with Front 242 in Bochum, here’s one of those infamous “backstage” videos. Almost as good as being there yourself:

Hope you enjoy these videos!
