Off to Germany.

Just checking in before we head off to Germany on Wednesday night. Really looking forward to the gigs and cruising over there. Thilo and his girlfriend, Angie, have flown over already to go to his sister's wedding so we'll be meeting them there. We've all just taken a wee bit of time off after the release of the first single. We hope you all liked it and thanks so much to those of you who have bought it and given us feedback on it. It means a lot to us. I'm really looking forward to you hearing the double A-side coz you ain't heard nothing yet!
Karina and I went to the Indian Summer festival here in Glasgow this weekend and were, again, completely blown away by the phenomenon that is the Flaming Lips live. If you've never seen them before I thoroughly recommend it. Emotional, fun, beautiful, funny, exciting, and more emotional. They will change you're life! Those guys really know how to put on a show. (More recommended purchases include their DVD "The Fearless Freaks"). The rain stayed off for us (mostly) and other bands that impressed were Wilco (they were also totally dynamite actually), Midlake, Maps and Make Model. Guy Garvey from Elbow was there presenting a show on BBC 6 so was stoating about and Karina tried to go up and talk to him (as he is a bit of a hero of the bands) but she told me she made an arse of it and ended up insulting his mate!! Nice one Kaz.
Anyway, we look forward to seeing you Scots at a homecoming gig after the Germany dates and if for those of you who are coming to see us in Germany; we can't wait to see you up the front!! See you at the beach!!
