A couple of days ago I drove down to Dresden to spend the day with the Canadian Indieband Hot Hot Heat.
During my research I noticed that I simply missed out on about everything that happened in the indie scene for the past few years. Bloc Party may have been an exception, but even then friends started rolling their eyes when I told them about the awesome band I'd discovered ...mainly because they'd obviously been around for a while and only people who'd lived in a bombshelter since '88 may have not noticed.
My bad...
My memory for names is terrible, but luckily I realised this early enough in my life
and usually let everyone know right from the start.
Parker was quickly named Walker(Texas Ranger) and Hot Hot Heat became The Hair-Doos.
I somehow managed to get all the other names right.
Somewhere halfway though the day my assistant fell off a chair and bumped her head unpleasantly hard so we had to skip the concert and head back to Berlin a bit earlier.
We spent the 2 hour ride home musically trading in skinny jeans for baggypants, spinning early KKS stuff and joining in every once in a while. Great way to let the last hours of a day fade away.
Thanks go out to Janina from Jägermeister, Katrin of s-plus-s, Steve, Paul, Parker and Luke of Hot Hot Heat and Jule from Sleaze Mag for the great time and the assistance.
