    • Is S.t Pauli an area or club or street?

    • In Germany Hamburg is the Rock`n`Roll capital-city.It has a very big "underground" scene with lots of clubs and pubs.And the BEST-it all happens in St.Pauli-so you can easily walk from club to club.All the rock bands I met they loved Hamburg because of St.Pauli-it`s also the red light district.Also those bands often stay longer in Hamburg and make DJ-events in the clubs or spontanious unplugged gigs in the pubs.

      Hamburg-St.Pauli is also where the Beatles started to become stars!!

      The only city in Europe with a similar flair is Amsterdam.

      So try out Hamburg and you`ll see...

    • At the moment for Garage Punk bands I would say all of Germany - Highlights would be Köln, Hamburg Berlin and they buy stuff. All of Spain - Highlights would be Gijon, Leon, Madrid, and the star would be Valencia (rock and roll city). South of France - Bordeaux, Montpellier, Lyon - Paris is overrated. North of Italy between Milan - Bologna - Genoa. All of Switzerland (pay is good and they buy stuff). In Austria, Vienna and Graz have a bit of a scene at the moment. The Benelux region is a bit quiet at the moment maybe some others can enlighten me as to why that is. London is overrated and the rest of Britain is hard to ring any kind of money out of to be worth it sometimes (but the people are really cool of course). I know nothing about the east except that some bands I know tour around Czech quite regularly and I was just contacted recently about playing in Moscow and St. Petersburg (Beat-Man has played there) so it seems there are starting to be bookers for Garage music out there now. Hope this helps and good luck guy.

    • What cities of Europe do you think is more positive than others to visit when you're in a band who wants to tour and sell shit.. I have heard that BERLIN is the new centre of the earth? London - overrated? what about Paris? Prague and all of this places.. Does anyone know better than me? (I think it is not hard)

       

      best wishes

    • You got some good stuff going! Good to hear about all those release party news. That record is a sure buy - Can't wait!

       

      Fuzz.o-ween ball sounds awesome too!

    • Thee Gravemen will be promoting the launch of the debut LP on Dirty Water records with two gigs in London on 28 & 29 October. Friday 28 the Gravemen are part of the amazing Fuzz.o-Ween ball appearing with The Fuzztones, Gravedigger V, Loveland and the Higher State, definitely not to be missed!!!

      Sat 29 is the official LP party at the Stags Head, Shorditch, London also playing are good freinds the Rippers from France and punk'n'roll from The Toyotas. You can grab the vinyl LP at both gigs for a discount price!!!! So get in there.

       

      A launch party is also planned for Malmö, Sweden on 5 November at Nya Tröls Bar, with guest stars Jack Oblivian, Harlan T Hobo, and the Limes, this is a small bar so will probably sell out quick so get there early to get in!

       

      Heres the video for 'My witch' taken from the new LP.....

      It starts at 2:30 in the afternoon and it's at Elvis Shakespeare Music & Books - 347 Leith Walk.

      If you make it along, say hello.
