Well I have some bad news guys. Bumped into Kent again yesterday thanks to public transport (note to band: I'm not stalking you, honest, it's just that Bergen is a very small airport!) and I asked Martin about these mythical German dates. He said they'd been asked to go there but it wasn't going to happen. I think this latest 30-date Scandi tour is enough for them - he said they'd be pretty tired by the end of it and I guess now they have young kids they don't really want to be away so much. Perfectly understandable if disappointing. So better get yourselves over to Sweden or Denmark! Believe me, however much trouble it takes would be more than worth it. Kent ROCK!!!
That's bad news for sure. I still don't get how this music industry works, especially over here. Those rumours were spread officially by the record company! Also very sad that we have to learn about the news this way, instead of some kind of official announcement.
Verdammt.
P.S.: @sandcat: Anyway thanks for sharing the info!
Okay then. So I have the chance see them in Örebro and MAYBE they might come to germany anyway. At least for a handful of dates. Would be very great!!!!
So I won't give up hope and pray
oh I feel bad for you guys, not that it'd make a direct difference to me. It'd be only fair if they did 25 Swedish dates instead of 30 and did 5 German dates.
We'll just have to respect the band's decision. However, I'd be very surprised if there aren't more new gigs announced this year. It's sad for those who can't travel to Scandinavia. Personally, I'll be going to the March gigs in Malmö anyway.
Nonetheless, they're enough Swedish bands touring Germany at the moment anyway: last night I saw Molotov Jive open for The Enemy and tonight I'm going to Dag För Dag and The Shout Out Louds...
Why would they want to come to Germany? So you can dress them up in lederhosen and tyroler hats while forcefeeding them with sauerkraut and wienerschnitzel? Drag them around in giant wheelbarrow while a band of middleaged-men with giant curly mustaches plays pumping marching music?

Oh you live in Kreuzberg thats nice, next time I come to Berlin you will offer me a free Döner kebab, right?
