Spidermonkeys and a little hedgehog-stripe-chameleon – Dresden-Gig 09   

Kroisos were back in Germany ... first time in the east. But let me tell you, the west is much better. Because there are much more fans living.  After finding the club with Dennis help and making small touristic trip to downtown we came into the hall to organize merch stuff and small other things. We wondered what good music was coming out of the club and when we entered the room our mouthes fall down. Kroisos, InConfusion and Leech were standing on the stage together – okay without Jussi and Olli and singing a song. It was so amazing that I was speechless. I really loved it from the first second. And I looked so much forwards to hear it again at the end of the gig. This new combination of bands was named “Spidermonkeys”. Jussi again was wearing stripes – whatever. And for shocking my eyes again he also found Jens’ XXL stripe-pullover, even we tried to hide it and wore it at the gig. The road to the concert was closed and so some people never reached the club and others came 1 hour later than  planned. It was the biggest club Kroisos ever played in - in Germany but it was smallest concert ever in our country. Just 73 people were there who payed and around 10 who didn’t. But that’s just 5 ppl less than in Frankfurt... And the girls made party and somehow crowded the club.  Media-people again came to me, this time not because of kroisos, but because of Leech. They loved their music and were interested in a concert. I told them that they have to speak to the boys directly. And we sold them a cd of the guys. But they of course also wrote about Kroisos in the magazine. I loved the whole show. Every minute was great. And I don’t agree with the ppl who said Ville would have sang bad. He was great and so were the other three.  Ville didn’t even need to tell the girls to long for more, they were screaming “Zugabe – Zugabe” before he could mention anything. And so he was happy and we were, too. They played “Monday” and the black guys from Inconfusion and Leech entered the stage and sang with them together. It was amazing.  After that Olli and Jussi were leaving their instruments, but Olli stayed on stage for dancing and singing. Or let me say, he was really rocking!!! Jussi was standing quite competent, looking kind of amazed up to the guys on stage, as if he was visiting the concert as fan. That was so sweet. We made him rocking with us. And when the song was over I sent him back to stage, because almost he would have stayed in the crowed for applauding for the “spidermonkeys”. As if he wouldn’t be a good and important part of this show. But Jussi, you were! And you will always be, no matter if you are just standing around and trying hard to do the best you can on your bass. Inside you’re rocking, we know this! After the show was at the end it was over and I was out. Suddenly I felt stressed, tired and empty and I don’t know where this feeling came from so suddenly. Girls had present for me to say thanks for the concerts of the last two years and boys wanted to make photos with me. Thanks a lot, I was very happy and proud about this all.  Club-owner was not amazed that we weren’t even 100 ppl like promised on the gig. But well, because of the traffic jam and the closed streets he was okay with it somehow after a longer discussion. So well... The evening ended in a club with a strange bad feeling between us girls. I never felt such a bad atmosphere in kroisos world before. But well, I think we all are still okay together and still like us. It was just strange. Kroisos didn’t made it to get trains to warsaw-airport so they had to organize - with Sibylla’s and Dennis’ help - a train to Berlin and flights from there to Helsinki. So they had a very long and expensive travelling back. By the way to help us to pay these crazy tour you can buy new merchandise or panda eyes cd. We have lot’s of different shirts now, pantys, mousepads, stickers, posters, buttons and so on. Even some ep’s are still available. Don’t believe in Ville if he tells you that they are sold out ;) At least I wanna say thank you to Angy, Ulla and the whole fanclub for helping me with the concerts. To Dennis and Sibylla for driving the guys around europe and simply for being so nice and sympathically all the time we met. To all the crazy girls, who travelled between 300 and 900 kilometers through whole Germany to join the gig in Dresden, thanks. You are so amazingly stupid :) I love this!!! I hope some day the boys will rock Germany again and I am glad to know that the meanpart of you loved and enjoyed the concerts. Big “thank you” to Leech and Inconfusion for the good music, atmosphere and supporting. Let the Kroisos fly!!!
