Dear people, out there in the internet and the world,

 we have awesome big crazy massive news: we’re dropping our second EP “CENTRE COURT” on 6th January 2018. Four new songs on which we worked half a year to make sure they sound exactly as how we wanted them. And now we feel they’re perfect to face the world outside our computers. You’ll be able to listen to them everywhere you can find music. We’re so excited what you’ll think of it. And: There’ll be a new music video soon - to a song called “bottles”. We’ll keep you updated here and on our facebook page. But for now, we’ll leave you with an arty cryptic explanation, what the CENTRE COURT is about and why we named the EP after it.  

 Don’t stop, there’s no time. Not even for a short moment. Come on, fast now. Look! There’s a youth in a world full of flaws which no one could ever fix but them. But this youth won’t. This youth just revolves around itself. Why aren’t they bristling with rage? Just standing there on the court drinking wine, smoking cigarettes, yapping about life. What do they now about life? They can’t be serious. Just not here, on the beautiful tennis court. Who has a will to this day? They are just standing there, apathetic, without a volition at all. Just come on. We don’t have time. 

 Dare to follow DOTE to the CENTRE COURT. A space for everyone, for everything there’s space. Here lies an ocean. Here lies glass. Here hides sex. But beware: don’t trespass the lines. You could asphyxiate. 

 The CENTRE COURT is everything. The CENTRE COURT is nothing. The setting of a life in a box. Is your heart yet numb? Do you still feel the hands of the others? Can you remember? Just for one time: stand still. 

 Love you all, 

boom! sometimes in life, you get caught up in dreams.

gladly one of ours is becoming very true: we are touring through the UK in december. this gives us such an insane dose of excitement that we've totally stopped thinking about everything else.

we are so happy to finally play some shows in our favourite country. along the way we will be joining the fantastic Khartoum and Midnight Mouth to name but two.

love,

this coming sunday sees us return to the stage, this time for a debut appearance in krefeld.

the blauer engel is celebrating it's 35th birthday and is putting on a whole load of live music over the course of the weekend. entry is free, so no reason not to be there!

as ever, merchandise will be available after our set, so come along and say hi!

hungry? 

well, we can't live on beer you know!

tomorrow see's us take to the stage at the neuss food festival, taking place on the grounds of möbel höffner in neuss. 

lovers,

last saturday saw us play our final dinslaken show of the summer.

so, naturally, here's the final dinslaken photo gallery of the summer.

saturday, well, tomorrow, see's us return to the stage, and return to dinslaken. 

drinnen und draußen festival, organised by randale & triebe, featuring an indoor and outdoor stage featuring live acts, then moving on to dj's after 10pm. the action starts at 4pm and goes on way into the early hours. should be a blast!

we will be hitting the indoor-stage at 6pm, so come and find us, and don't forget to come and say hello at the merch stand after the show.

see you there. 

mallorca. what is mallorca about?

drinking beer, getting brown (well, red first), drinking beer, drinking sangria. but the main question is; what does the drummer of an indie band do there. well, drinking beer, mainly.

our song 'islands' was an inspiration for me to make a little vacation here between gigs. i played the song to many people here already - they didn't really get it though. maybe because it's not Helena Fischer or any other schlager artist from Germany. well, there's no real indie scene here. 

but, i don't care. i quite like it here. did i mention the beer...

see you at randale & triebe

so, you thought we'd forgotten about you right?

wrong. here's the action from the second half of our saturday double last weekend.

the first part of our saturday double started in geldern. it was scorching hot. despite the sweat situation, it turned out to be an awesome afternoon. 

saturday 2nd september we make two festival appearances in one day.

first off, we take to the stage at Geldernsein Festival in Geldern. ticket and other information is available here: https://www.facebook.com/geldernsein/

we should be taking to the stage in Geldern at around 13:00, before packing up and heading off to our second show...

...which takes us to Attendorn and Uelhof Rockt. information about the festival can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/368406843248152/

 so, two shows, one day, two chances to see us!

as usual, merchandise will be available after our sets at both festivals.

hey,

last saturday saw us take to the stage at the burgtheater in dinslaken. what a venue!

as ever, thanks to everyone who turned out. we had a heap of fun.

you can catch us again this coming saturday in geldern and attendorn.

hi!

this coming friday, 25th august, sees the bus stop in dinslaken for the S.Y.L.S. Festival.

the Burgtheater looks amazing, and should be incredible with an audience! 

all being well, we should be hitting the stage shortly after 7pm, so come along - it should be a blast!

merchandise will be available immediately after our set, so as usual come by and say hello and feel free to make a liquid donation.

for more information about the festival, look it up on Facebook.

see you on friday! 

hi!

our second performance last weekend took us to delbrück to play dachsbau festival '17.

it was wet, very wet! but, we didn't let that spoil things, and yet again, so many people braved the weather to come and support us and the other artists - thank you so much.

hi!

here's a little look back at our show last friday for MG Kitchen TV. 

a big thanks to MGKTV, to our hostess, and to all the people that came to the show - you were all wonderful.
