You know what, we can’t wait until next June to hang out with all you sweet peeps.
It’s xmas time and you should get hammered with mulled wine surrounded by friends.
So, please join us for a frosty booze cruise.
Thursday, 29th November:
NOTHINGTON will hit the autobahn to play a farewell tour and they want to play Hamburg - Twice!
We start on Thursday with a boat ride!
A boat ride in frigging November?
Yeah, to people living in California this might be new, but we got seasons over here.
Anyway, it is their last tour and they wanted to play on a boat for a very last time. Who are we to refuse that!?
NOTHINGTON will be supported by ALL ABOARD!
They have a boaty name and they watched all 11 seasons of Ice Road Truckers, so they know how to handle the low temperatures.
There will be room for 96 people (including staff and bands) on the boat = We will sell exactly this amount of tickets. No throwbacks to 300+ people waiting in line to see PKEWx3 on the same boat some moons ago.
In case the Elbe river is frozen or the weather conditions are too terrible to debark, we have a plan b and will put this show up in our favorite dive bar instead. Deal?
After the boat ride, a quick pizza stop at Überquell, and then there are two more amazing bands playing our second living room:
CYANIDE PILLS - Sweet as Lumumba pop punk from Leeds, UK
a band we are stupidly excited about:
LITTERBUG from Blackpool, UK
at Hafenklang’s Goldener Salon.
Friday, 30th November:
Easy. 4 bands at the Hafenklang:
NOTHINGTON
Again, but this time you can take off your jackets.
JUNIOR BATTLES
I lo-lo-lo-love this band since seeing them at FEST 2012, IDLE AGES is one of my all time favorite records. Finally these guys decided to tour Europe for the very first time.
Hope I have some company in front of the stage singing along at the top of my lungs. Anyone?
They also cover Toto’s Africa. Sometimes at least.
THE RUN UP
If you can’t tell by now we have a soft spot for melodic punk rock from the UK, here is another gem from Gross Britain for you: THE RUN UP
And yes, their singer took some dancing classes with Greg Attonito and even looks a bit like him. From afar. When you’re drunk. And forgot your glasses.
THE MEAN!
Mild in the streets - Hamburg acoustic punks.
If you know OFFMOUNTAINS or ANA you will probably recognize these two lads.
There will be an after show partey with DJs and maybe even some cover sets. - More info asap.
Saturday, 1st December:
We meet again at the gorgeous Prinzenbar to watch these bands play:
ROWAN OAK
Their upcoming record is running on heaviest rotation over here. Amazingly amazing Midwest Emo - I mean Münster is literally in the Midwest, so what did you expect, huh!?
NERVUS
If you haven’t seen them at this year’s Booze Cruise, don’t skip your chance to see them this time.
GREAT WIGHT
One of Brooklyn’s best kept secrets will tour through Europe once again and will stop by in Hamburg this time. I can’t wait one single second more!
XXX
And a mysterious headliner will also play - We are just not allowed to share its name with you before late October.
Their band name is one word and 33 of my facebook friends are followers of this downright amazing band. Any ideas?
Sounds like a great weekend to you?
Online tickets’ sale will start on Wednesday, 19th September 2018.
