Thanks a lot for that!

The Mokkers supporting The Black Angels @ Lido!! (03/07/2013)

Some days ago, when we decided to buy the tickets for The Black Angels, we realized all the tickets where sold out. We couldn't believe it, after almost three years we were missing them again...

Then the day after we got the new that WE WERE SUPPORTING THEM!

I got a whatsapp from Perry asking: "are you still worried about the tickets?" 

We really couldn't believe it. After an emergency rehearsal before Vivi went to Prague and a lot of long long days in between we finally got to Lido on wednesday afternoon. When I arrived everybody was already there and Black Angels were checking the sound. It was so loud and sounded so good...

 Then we had of course to hurry when our turn came since everything was delayed.

When we went to the stage the room was crowded. I guess many of the people didn't even know there was a support band, so they were probably freaking out a bit. We started to play and the monitor did't work. Time ran too fast and we had to stop before finishing our set but when we left the stage and got to the backstage some of the Black Angels members applauded us and told us they really liked our music and they thought what we do is cool. Although it sounds very groupie, I guess this was the best part of the night. 

We could get then to the front and enjoy their show. We really did. I guess they did as well since they kept playing several songs after the last one, or the one that was suppose to be the last one. It was great. After that we could chat a bit more with them. They let us take some food and mexican beers from  the fridge. The tasted great and where cold. 

Time went very, very fast and soon we all had to leave. When we where picking up our stuff we noticed the crazy amount of things the Black Angels have!

The Mokkers @ Radio Eins // Interview with Frauke Oppenberg

On tuesday before the Festsaal Kreuzberg gig we were invited to an interview in the local radio emitter radio eins. We ran to the Admiral Palast since we just came back from Munich and greeted the friendly moderator Frauke Oppenberg. We chated a bit about being a girl band in a field dominated mostly by men, about "the mokkers" name origine and relation with what we do and some things more. It was short and intense. They took a pictue of us where we look very tired but happy, since we were so glad abut this invitation and obviously about this fleeting tour.
Here is what happened.

The Allah-las (+ special guests: The Mokkers german tour!!!) // round 1: München (part 1)

München...long long way. We met in the rehearsal room, packed everything in the rented car and were droven by our beloved friend Sergi to the lordly and clean southern german city.

Tones of chips, cakes, some fruits, juices, all possible crappy fast food for a funny trip dominated by Sergi's soundtrack. From time to time Franzi's "Autobahn" compilations and a compilation I found in a music magazine called MOJO with the definitive highlight of the trip:

Temples: Shelter Song

After crossing the terrible floods that were devastating landscapes we landed there, yes, in the beautiful bavarian city. It was night and we had kind of troubles to find the place where we were staying. Our nice bavarian music friends Nikolai and Sebastian were hosting us in Nikolais place. At the end and due to some weird coincidences we made it and could sleep and wake up fresh and get ready for a walk around the city...
