STATUS UPDATE: we are still rehearsing all our songs with UWE (the new drummer). it is getting better and better, but it will take a little while til we get to work on the performance. we are considering to go for something like this:

Der nächste bestätigte Auftritt ist übrigens am 25.September bei den STREUSANDSPIELEN, und zwar schon um 12:45. (es geht um 12:00 mit ein paar punkigen bands los und endet mit ner 10-köpfigen ska-truppe…)

So, the holidays are about to start and we will be gone for a while.. well, we are not going abroad together (in fact that’s not us on the image! :), so we will still be able to post odd updates on facebook and/or twitter.
the rehearsals with our new drummer UWE are promising and we are going to play at a festival in pankow on 25.SEP. if you you would like us to play at any other event from september on we would recommend to send a mail to booking♡sixsixseven.de
and finally a hint: since we went online 10 years ago you have been able to download our songs. now you can do even more: you can SHARE them! currently we are uploading our songs to soundcloud and then, just like a video from youtube, you can post them on your site or at facebook. cool shit! It will look like this:
as some of you might have noticed: again we have lost another drummer because he left town. but we are happy to be able to tell you that we already found a new one, who already spend the third evening in our rehearsal room. he is called UWE and he is a homeboy!
now he will have to get into our stuff which will take some time. the next scheduled regular gig will be in september at a street festival in pankow. and if you happen to need a band in autumn, please do not hesitate to contact us! :)
so. for a while it was uncertain if all works out, but now the date is set and we would be totally utterly pleased to see you there! :)
what‘s up?
1) public rehearsal – our drummer has moved – away from berlin. no rehearsals anymore. drats. so we will be rehearsing while we perform live. there are others who do it that way. it can be fun. and we sometimes have a BBQ so you might want to bring sausages!
2) live concert – as soon as we have warmed up, the rehearsal becomes a regular concert. with encores and stuff. but no cover-versions. we will only perform our very own material, so the c-base cannot be sued by the german GEMA.
3) virtual megaevent – from around 21:00 the whole fun will be broadcasted into teh word wide internetz. we, or rather our avatars, will perform virtually not in the royal albert hall but inside the ST. PAULS CATHEDRAL in virtual london in twinity. this will also be broadcasted back into the c-base where you can see us twice at the same time! what a mess! tomorrow we will do a band photo with our avatars…
(we hope we will get sorted out that the stream can be received outside twinity in any browser, but we cannot promise anything. you will get up-to-the-minute news via twitter on tuesday…)
4) as soon as we are ready, the place becomes an open stage. like every tuesday at c-base. one or two of us will stay a little so if you would bring your guitar we can play the most awesome hippie grooves together, now does this sound fun? :)
[UPDATE]

well. as it turned out, the drummer stayed in sachsen-anhalt, and we had to play an acoustic set. which was not what everyone (including us) expected, but we had fun nonetheless. :)
the sausages were fine, thx to TOBI for doing the grill master! the cooperation with the c-base was great, special thx to ACHIM for everything, the virtual concert at the St.Pauls Cathedral was a success, too – thx to DANIEL (at c-base) and MONICA (in twinity). the photos of the gig are cool, thx to STEPHAN!
and the audience was just sweet! thx to everyone who attended!
btw: another big THX to stephan for this video:
so, what we need to say now:
whoever knows an available drummer in berlin, please tell us!
as we are famous already, we now want to want you to make us rich, too! uhm…
well, we have put our recent CDs in hi-quality on itunes. of course you can still download them as mp3 here and there, but if you are either a hifi afficionado or if you would like to support us (in fact we are getting 70% of that money) you actually buy these tracks.
please note that something got mixed up in the process. so our band name at »No Pumps! …« is listed as »667 sucks«. nevermind. we just wanted to let you know…
No Pumps! No Surgery! No Exercise!
Do You Suffer Pindick Problems?
