Guitar, noise board, toothbrush, train ticket. All I need. Stop by. They say that the show starts at nine. I don't know Munich nine. Might be different from Berlin nine. soft.nerd will play, too. And We vs. Death take me for a ride on the Autobahn. Superexcito!

Thank you for celebrating with us at the Madame Claude last Saturday. It was a fun night full of greatness and mistakes. The album, by the way, is now up for listening and for preorders at the bandcamp page. Don't forget what I forgot to mention on Saturday: The cassette tape comes with a download code and even for those who chose to live without old-fashioned physical media it's a beautiful artifact. There are really no excuses here.

And on short notice, there's another show coming up right this week. The guys that used to host the best Wednesday thing ever are inaugurating a new best Wednesday thing ever, and I will be among those providing background music and noise, sharing the line-up with Wolfgang Müller, Peaches and T.Raumschmiere. Awemazing! Incraydabole! Be sure to stop by.

I'll play a few shows with friends this spring, to celebrate the release of "Elephant Dresses". Some of these evenings will take place in fairly big venues, so bring a friend or three and make them wear big fat down jackets. Thank you. And see you. Soon.

03 APR 10 Berlin, Madame Claude w/ Konstanze
10 APR 10 Leipzig, Paris Syndrom w/ Telekaster
08 MAY 10 München, Domagkateliers w/ soft.nerd
12 MAY 10 Dresden, Scheune w/ Hundreds
13 MAY 10 Frankfurt, Das Bett w/ Hundreds
14 MAY 10 Magdeburg, Projekt 7 w/ Hundreds
15 MAY 10 Hamburg, Übel & Gefährlich w/ Hundreds
16 MAY 10 Krefeld, Kulturfabrik w/ Hundreds

So there. We'll make it. "Elephant Dresses" will be out on April 16. The tape will be out on Froggi Records, and the digital format will be out on The Internet. And we'll celebrate:

PETULAPHANT DRESSES TAPE RELEASE SHOW

3 April 10 @ Madame Claude
Lübbener Str. 19, Berlin
Live clicks and klongs! A choir of angels! Faults and mistakes!
And superspecial guest Konstanze!

Come!

AND THEN:

10 April 10 @ Paris Syndrom
Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße 9, Leipzig
w/ Telekaster

Come, too!

And then I'm lost. Last night, all touring plans were reset. The Norwegian group of awesome dancers that I was to join for their German dates cancelled or at least postponed their tour. I'm available from May 7 to 16. If you have an idea, a venue, an opportunity, do get in touch with me.

The release date for the first Petula album remains to be announced later this month. Thus, the first PTL show in the year 10 is not a release party, but a promising event nonetheless. I've been invited to open for Fanfarlo, who I really like. I'll bring a tiny choir of people who I also really like. The day is next Tuesday, the place is Berlin's infamous Magnet Club. Will you be there, too?

It's been more than a year since we last played a show together. We'll see how this one goes over. I'm cautiously optimistic and quite uncautiously looking forward to it. Click the typo on the flyer for show details.
