in 25° C. so...the tour with Love

BIG UP! that was pretty something, dear city of love! und danke nochmal,

09.05.09 - BEFORE THE TOUR
...desk work

27.04.09 - ...SOON
hui! pretty soon i'm going to be on tour again.
can't wait. until then i need about 4 tons of ideas
for some new songs. i got a new set up in mind. let's see what it can
do for us. last night i grabbed a pencil and brush:

27.03.09 - SOME NEUIGKEITEN
A)
Björn + me = FROGBONESALAD. the split tape is finally here...yeah,
with the actual covers. if you want a copy, feel free to drop me an e-mail
at derfroggi[at]gmx[dot]de
...for some souvenirs check out Björn's BERLIN/HANNOVER album at
kleinhenz.se
B)
booking change: Kolleqt called it quits (i guess), so now you can find
me at the very likable headquarters of X IS FOR KISSES
- booking & freindship. thanks, stefan!
contact:
X IS FOR KISSES
xisforkisses.com
stefan[at]xisforkisses.com
11.03.09 - FROG BONE 1/2
ok...the tape release show(s) for the split tape
will apparently have to do without the actual covers,
since the print shop is a lame one, haha. but what the hell, exclusive
provisional covers are everybody's darling anyway, right? so björn
will perform some magic and everything will be finy-fine.
......... make sure to be there:
14.03. berlin - valentin
stüberl
17.03. hannover - nice/nice
exhibition space
26.01.09 - FROG BONE SALAD
my dear friend Björn Kleinhenz and me will

of course: froggi records!
more news on that one soon...

wonderful musical friends, adding their spice to the soup, can be witnessed

12.01.09 - A LITTLE OUTLOOK
it's funny...people around me, let's say my age, they don't like wishing
each other a merry christmas. everybody think's it's lame. i realized
they compensate it by wishing a happy new year ...in quite an old fashioned
way, but i guess that's less lame. well, anyway: happy happy! new
new!
so, what's ahead?:
a) i'm pretty much looking forward to going on tour with
Love
Of Everything, the solo project of Bobby Burg, who otherwiese spends
time playing in bands like Make Believe and Joan Of Arc ("hui!").
that's going to be this may. there are some dates
listed already.
b) i just finished editing a new album called "fingertier".
it's the outcome of a improvisation session i had in my room some months
go. some pretty raw stuff there, brace yourself! (°_°) it just
needs some nice artwork and then it will be ready for rocket launch. i'm
thinking cd and tape version...

c) + ! my friend Stefan will now be doing some booking
for me. welcome aboard, yo! get in touch with him for shows: stefan
|at| kolleqt.com !
23.12.08 - HOLIDAY HIT SINGLE
here's my little present for your holidays. i found
the key to a perfect christmas song. well, of course first of all it should
be 3 minutes and 30 seconds long (logo). and i reduced the whole thing
to the
vital essence, the one instrument that makes a holiday smash hit. so enjoy:
Kid
Ikarus - holiday hit (glöckli2008)
so...happy tralala and a healty new year to all of you!

into my room. (sorry, Lisa.) the track is a demo i originally made for
