We got to take another ferry back from Denmark, but unfortunately we found no ball pits or anything like the first ferry. We actually were the last car off the boat due to some of the others lagging behind.
We performed in Cologne, Germany at an amazing club called All Area. Pull A Star Trip opened the night off with a great acoustic set featuring Steffen and Philip, followed by Beautiful Lies. It was probably one of the bigger crowds we've performed in front of on this tour, as everyone was having a great time as they packed the room. It was also very nice to meet a few new faces, as our good friend and producer Phil had invited some old friends who came to the show. I also got to see a couple friends who I met last summer at a Beautiful Lies cafe show at Berklee.
After the show we ventured to see the Koelner Dom. I wish there was a better way to show the massive size of this church, as it was even too big for my camera to properly capture it. It was also a little difficult because it was nighttime. But I took a few different shots of it:
Thursday brought us back to Steffen's hometown of Mannheim. We played stripped down set at Cafe Nelson, which was just around the corner from Steffen's apartment. A band from Switzerland called Slimboy opened the night, followed by Pull A Star Trip and then Beautiful Lies. Phil from Pull A Star Trip accompanied us on cello for "Save Yourself." After we finished our last song, the audience requested an encore, and we played "El Scorcho." And after that... another encore was requested. We've never really had that kind of thing happen, but it was very flattering. Phil joined us for the second encore, performing the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind." We'd never even rehearsed it with him before but it worked out wonderfully.
The next morning, we woke up to an amazing home-cooked meal courtesy of Phil. Two days in Switzerland follow our Germany dates. More to come soon.
