This month's episode of the Fckng-Tour Life Blog started in Romanshorn, Switzerland. With only 45 minutes of sleep and a hard headache, we started our tour towards Switzerland. When we arrived at the airport in Zurich, we were quite in a hurry, because our ferry in Romanshorn would start in a few minutes and we thought we wouldn’t make it on time. What a hurry!! - but still with a smile on the face :)

Our ferry luckily waited for us and we were so impressed by what our promoter & friend from Switzerland had arranged AGAIN. This ferry was usually in use for cars but he created a huge „Party boat“ for the hole „Fckng-Serious Family“. Just incredible. We met all of our friends, colleagues and „family“-members there and had the time of our lives. The ferry started and we drove out to the middle of the lake Constance and started the party. This was impressive. The feeling, to party on a huge lake between 3 different countries, is just breathtaking.

Even we were very tired and hungry, we didn’t miss the chance to dance with „Komet Bernhard“. Exhausted and happy we fell into bed this evening.

A few days later, we traveled to Israel for one gig and a few days of vacation. We felt lucky. Our bodies were already tugging after a time-out. The good weather and the tasty food would do us good. We enjoyed the time in Israel to the fullest. We even had some time to spent some hours at the pool. 

 

The Next days have been a bit more stressful. When we had flown back from Tel Aviv, we had a shuttle that brought us directly to Cologne, where the next show was already waiting.


It was just Wednesday because it was a pre-feast day in Germany. We arrived very late in the evening in the hotel, when a few of our crew members already were at the club. The party in Cologne was gorgeous. We were very tired because we didn’t have any sleep before the show but we still had fun. The fans went completely crazy and gave me so much love I could’ve cried! 

Just 3 days later we already arrived in the next city.  Budapest. 

We arrived in the evening and have been very excited about this concert. The show in Budapest was our own concert and also the biggest so far. We expected over 10.000 people to come and it was even more. Nearly 13.000 people bought tickets to celebrate with us. That's still so unbelievable!! 

We had a big dinner in our Hotel and the whole crew was there again!! It made me so happy, that we had so many gigs this month where all our Crew could have come together to do a concert or a label night. My girlfriend had been so tired, that she overslept all the show in the backstage. haha.

We tried to catch up some sleep on the plane, but it’s never the same as in a bed.

When the last one of us, Ann Clue, was still playing, Theydream have been already on their way to the airport, because they had to catch an early flight to Madrid. This was a very chaotic night. We all had very late playtimes in Budapest, but we needed to start the party in Madrid already at 1 pm... That meant nearly no sleep for us. Everyone was on a separate flight and we went from the airport, once more, directly to the next gig.

This was another week, which was very stressy for us. But both of the parties have been amazing. Every time I see all my fans being so happy when they see us on stage, it makes all my sorrows fade away in a few seconds. I played a three-hour set and danced all the tiredness away within these amazing hours. We left Madrid on midday the next day and were happy when arrived back home. Tired and satisfied from the weekend.

The next weekend we played in Paris twice

We arrived in the afternoon in Paris and met all of our label colleagues outside the hotel.

 

We had some drinks together and told us our news from the last days. It could have been so relaxed if there hadn’t been a classical problem in the hotel. You have no clue how often we have the biggest discussions at the hotel receptions because of the „credit card trouble“. They booked twice the money, the wrong card, room is more expensive then it should be, etc. Anyway, after some more drinks, we went straight to bed because I already need to start playing at the first party at 9.30 pm. Very early for me haha. 

The party was amazing. Besides the breathtaking location, an old theater, the crowd was so full of power that it couldn’t have been better. We had amazing Lebanese food in the backstage later and prepared ourselves for the next party in this night. 

After another short nap in the hotel, we went to the T7 Club in Paris with a stunning view of the Eiffel tower. It was just too hot in there and after dancing for another 2 hours my clothes have been even wetter then if I was in a swimming pool.

After another successful and great party, we ended the weekend with a tight and long sleep and went back home with all the crew the next day by train.
