I think the club is called Molotow. Lene Lovich is playing the main room and we’re with Derv upstairs. It’s down the street from a bunch of sex clubs. We walked back to the hotel and passed the Kaiserkeller where the Beatles played before moving on to the Star-Club. The street is a tourist trap like Beale Street.
We’re back at the hotel watching German tv show on JVA Prison in Koln. The prisoners sure smoke a lot. Nice hotel room. Heading back to the club soon.
Went to the Ramones Museum which was very impressive. Flo has amazing stuff on display including the poster from the Norway Center on Queen Anne from 1979. He even hung out at Johnny’s apt in New York and his house in Beverly Hills.
Later we headed over to the first gig. We are still figuring out the subtleties of our set. Derv Gordon delivered the goods.
Head with Derv Gordon
guten Tag – new 3 song 7″ by HEAD on Evil Clown Records available at the Derv Gordon show tonight.
On our way to the rock concert in Berlin, we stopped off in England to check out the punk situation. Turns out it’s the same as Seattle: dead end yobs on the dole. We also took time to broker peace between the Mods and the Rockers.
Here is an interesting bit of trivia: Cheers is short for Cheerio which is English for Tally-Ho
Here is a photo of one of the world famous double decker buses.

Head played live for the first time 25 years ago. We were fortunate that Girl Trouble let us open for them for our first time playing. 25 years later we’re still both going. I can’t say the same for Quiverpuss. I wish they were still going though. I thought they were good and “Conjure Up A Man” was a great song. Bon counts the first time playing live as the start date for bands but I don’t know. We started practicing almost 2 years before then. We certainly were not ready to play a show at the point.
We keep our streak of playing at least one show a year going when we play The Wanna-Bes reunion show at the Substation off of Leary Way on December 30th.
