DAY 1 - STUTTGART
We flew into Frankfurt, were picked up by the Dirtshakes (featuring members and exmembers of the Embryonics, Jet Bumpers, Cave 4, etc) and driven to Stuttgart. Got a few hours of sleep at the promoters house, then to the club. This night we played with the super all girl band, theBoonaraaas (www.boonaraaas.com) and the Dirtshakes. Here's a few photos from that night that the Boonaraaas gave us!

DAY 2 - SOLINGEN, ROCK CITY
This night was the big party! It was the birthday bash for Lutz Soundflat, Oli Dirtshake and Anouschka Thunderbaby Records! Solingen is my home away from home - the city that created the Embryonics, Dirtshakes, Cave 4, etc etc etc. It IS Rock City #1! This was a great time - everyone was in the party mood and besides the Excessories, the Lullabelles, the Apers and the Get Lost (featuring Rob & Gerry from the Miracle Workers) all put in amazing sets! I got to jam with the Get Lost, which was a drunken blast! One of the best nights of the trip!
