release special gig

Last Saturday, 26th October, we were guests on the Acoustic Stage at Europe's biggest independent record shop „Hot Shot Records“ in Bremen and had a great time despite the health restrictions! The simultaneous Freimarkt parade in Bremen's city centre didn't make it any easier for us to get to the shop. We played rehearsed versions of our songs, especially rehearsed for this gig. Afterwards there was a signing session for our CDs and double LPs that had just arrived the day before - a incomparable feeling to finally hold them in our hands! A big THANK YOU to Norbert, Volker and team for this great event and of course to ALL FANS! Next live gig is in Hamburg on 30.11. at LOGO - we are really looking forward to it! GREETZ!
