7.4.2008 Kaizers Orchestra (Alte Feuerwache, Mannheim)

Monday, April 7th, 2008

An off-day is really nice to finally catch up on some sleep, get some things sorted out and then suddenly notice that actually, you wanted to get on the road again half an hour ago. Uhm. But well, luckily the snow chaos happened mostly in the areas that are used to snow chaos, so the roads were clear and I made it to Mannheim on time. Or actually three hours early, but I wanted to meet up with a friend before the concert. =;-)

5.4.2008 Kaizers Orchestra (E-Werk, Köln)

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

I still remember hearing rumors about Kaizers playing at E-Werk in Cologne a few years ago. That wasn’t realistic at all… and it turned out that they were supposed to warm up for another band there and in the end, it didn’t work out anyway. But by now, Kaizers are playing at E-Werk as the main act…!

4.4.2008 Kaizers Orchestra (Batschkapp, Frankfurt)

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Now the Kaizers tour is really starting for me! =:-) 16 days, 12 concerts. And I guess that the reports will get shorter and shorter, don’t want to spend the whole day just with writing reports and uploading pictures… =;-)

29.3.2008 Kaizers Orchestra (KB, Malmö)

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

The next morning, we took the train down to Malmö. We found the hotel quickly, and after a nice walk through the city and an actually quite bad meal we were smart enough to check on the internet what the “21:00” on the tickets meant. It turned out it was not the time that the doors opened, but the time the concert was supposed to start! So we hurried to get on our way to the concert place.

28.3.2008 Kaizers Orchestra (Trädgårn, Göteborg)

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Before Kaizers are really coming to Europe now, there’s first some more concerts in Scandinavia on the plan. And just as last time, I wanted to see them in Göteborg and Malmö!

16.3.2008 Kaizers Orchestra (Folken, Stavanger)

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

After just six hours of sleep I was wide awake at 8 am. I tried to go back to sleep, but that didn’t work, so I just got up really early. That was the start of a very long Sunday. After a bit to eat and some coffee I wondered what to do now. I ended up sitting with my laptop in bed, editing pictures and playing solitaire. After spending the whole morning like this, I took a long walk around Stavanger in the sun. I ended up going in circles a few times, but I had a nice time. Then I went back to the B&B for some food.

15.3.2008 Kaizers Orchestra (Folken, Stavanger)

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

The day started really early with getting up at 6 am. I had to catch a bus in Arendal at 7:15 to Stavanger. And after an extremely long bus ride I finally arrived. Finding the B&B was easy thanks to a map off the internet, and on the way I walked by Folken. So now I knew the most important things, namely where to sleep and where to go for the concert.

14.3.2008 Kaizers Orchestra (Kulturhus, Arendal)

Friday, March 14th, 2008

After taking the last bus to Arendal, I had about four hours to kill before the doors even opened. Therefore I decided to wander around the town (which is SMALL). I spotted Terje, Geir and Tollak doing the same when I got to the town square.

2.3.2008 Kaizers Orchestra (Rokken, Volda)

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

The next morning we could catch up on some sleep (the breakfast is the limit… =;-)), as it was just a stone’s throw to Volda. Well, theoretically at least. Practically you need to take the Norwegian roads with all the ferries and toll stations into account there… But well, we arrived and had enough time to check out Volda, relax a bit and get a good dinner before we got on our way to the concert place. On the way, we found out that according to all posters, the concert had already taken place on 2/2. But well, that was only logical, as the concert in Sogndal didn’t take place on the 1st of March either but instead on February 30th… *rofl*

1.3.2008 Kaizers Orchestra (Meieriet, Sogndal)

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

The day after the concert in Bergen, and we were on our way to Sogndal. What was awaiting us there was a concert experience entirely different from the first concert: Instead of 3200 people in the audience, there were only 500 at the concert this time, probably even less. A good reason (apart from the other reason that it was my birthday =;-)) to get into the front row today! The queuing was a bit weird this time, but very comfortable for us, as we were allowed into the room right in front of the concert hall after only 5 minutes waiting already. So we could stand in the very front of the queue, have a drink and nice conversations before calmly walking into the first row.
