Monday 30th December Aachen








We got up early dreading the drive from Paris to Aachen especially getting out of Paris fucking hell they drive like a bunch of sardines being devoured by dolphins, So we slept most of the way only stopping to have one last shit in france. The gig tonight will be fun We have TV Smith & Eddie & The Hot Rods on the bill with us.
After making good time we checked in to the hotel where we immediately hit the bar & kicked back. The soundcheck was quick & easy. It was a night to remember The Hot Rods were great Barry still has the voice & the band are awesome, They played a short set best of & it was nice just to have a decent support act for a change. I hope we do more gigs together. TV Smith did an acoustic set with Pescali on rhythm guitar & Monkeys drunken Twin on drum VOM from Die Toten Hosen. For an acoustic gig it was really loud.We played a reasonable set Pete was having a nightmare of an evening, I thought he was going to pass out after the fourth song, he stayed on his feet but had no idea where he was so as the band played a song Pete was playing something else it was quite Psycadelic at times. No one really noticed I don’t think. Once again the Adicts played songs that have never been heard making it interesting. The Crowd Loved it & the end of the show was a celebration. The venue we played in was an old war time bunker & it could house the whole population of Aachen at the time it was a maze of tunnels & weird rooms. At the end of the night Vom was blithered & he resembled Monkey in the same state it had to be seen to believe. Back at the Hotel we hit the bar with some members of the Rods & a good night was had by all.
