Well, they were right about the gig...over 60,000 people attended the birthday of the VW Transporter in Hannover at the Messe. Our band "The Bulli Allstars" played the afternoon to get the people started. MTV Europe, Patrice, were there and Barbara Shoenenberger hosted (what a fox). They set up 2 gigantic stages 90 degrees from each other and sandwiched the crowd in the middle. Easier to rotate the bands. We started and Sasha then Sweetie Glitter and then THE WHO..To close out the night we finished with another hour of songs.. The party was really the backstage area.. I made a total ass of myself..sang "Pinball wizard" and gave a "Smile Baby" CD to Roger D. (Hey he laughed) Pete Townsend stayed in his dressing area. Rabbit (Hammond) was really a nice and talkative guy. (we had a Hammond player too, Wolfman). I stayed up all day and night(did not want to miss a thing) I only had to sing about 4 songs.
We should be getting better pictures and articles soon so I will post on the site.
Hey Funkateer-PINK gig was a blast. small crowd though (only 7000).. she made us look like angels because she gave no interview and left right after the gig. Making Funky P look like total angels in front of the hometown crowd.. We did the interview for her because there was a lot of press. Mark Medlock(Germany's Pop Idol 2007) broke his leg so he did not come. The Guano Apes had a new singer(kicked out the girl). I tell you, speak a little of the local language and the fans eat it up. This really helped us in the charts too. They even had a clip of us on the RTL Luxembourg news.( the largest TV sender in Luxembourg(Viva la Pink)
Just found out today that another group I am in (Soul Allstars) will open for "THE WHO" in Hannover (6 Oct)- some celebration for the VW bus(60 years). let you know the details as I find out but this will be a high profile gig...the WHO baby watch out Roger and Pete..the Funky P is coming. Talk later Isaac Keep the Funk Alive By the way our latest release (Heaven is around the corner) is #6 on the Lux charts. I think it is time to reach over the borders baby. Remember we don't have a manager or a record label(Help a brother out)
