Daytime begins after midnight

It's been a little over one week in Berlin and already we feel at home here. Yea, there's been talks of relocating down here, but we still got some things to sort out before we can turn that into a reality. There's something in this city that no other city has anymore, Freedom. Not only can you smoke in bars still, but people genuinely don't give a shit pretty much about anything besides politics.

Night time in this city begins after midnight, which at first took us a coupla days/nights to get used to as everything in London shuts around 2am unless you're lucky to find a genuine dingy bar that remains open till 4am. This time change of nocturnal activities actually proves to do us well, because this essentially means our days are technically longer if you get my drift. So we manage to get a shit load more done to which we then around 1am still go out for a night cap.


And another thing, people in Berlin actually give a shit if you're the band playing that night. The sound engineer's and the bands are polite and genuine. None of this faux-ego that folks in London seem to like to put on, pretending they're all kul and edgy. I'm telling you, the real 'edgy' is here in Berlin. Our first gig here was in some underground grotto hidden behind other derelict warehouses where only the headlights of a car could help you find the way to get there.


I'm telling you, if you want the real shit, not this dressed-up-try-hard-BS you get in other cities, COME to Berlin! You'll genuinely feel like a human being who still has a brain and can make your own decision without some 'scene' doing it for you. Once you're in Berlin, you'll feel something that you thought was once lost or robbed from you, that true sense of Freedom, that feeling that the world really is your oyster. That true sense of 'I can do whatever I want' is here in the air and we breath it everyday and it fills our guts with inspiration.


And no one's even gonna try and stop us!
