So After 4 days at home to do my Taxes and suchlike, it was off to Germany to meet up with the tour again. First up was def the smallest show ive ever done with The Killers. Club in Cologne held about 250 people at most and was sweaty as hell. Onwards to Berlin and a more flettering 1000 capacity show at the E-WERK club which app is one of Germanys most famous clubs for the huge dance music scene that has always flourished here. This was quite a good show. Goes some way to dispelling the myth that the Killers arent popular here (Which i think came from the fact that due to some rather bad luck we have had to postpone shows in Germany twice last year due to illness, not much that can be done bout that just unfort that it happened both times here). These shows are in no way a reflection of the bands appeal here, they are free promo shows to create some buzz about the Album before its release. When we come back in November we will be playing much bigger places.
After the show we managed to grab about 3 hours sleep before a 4.30am lobby call to fly to Bologna, Italy for an MTV show in front of 50,000 people. Or so we thought, after 2 hours flight and 3 hours drive we found ourselves on site for soundcheck when the sky opened and it proceded to rain torrentially for the next 17 hours straight. Unfort due to this, the crowd size never really reached its prospective target but the band played on nonetheless to at least 10'000 people who seemed to have a great time. You can see highlights from the show on www.mtv.it
So after another plane journey we are now in London for a show tomorrow and then Paris on tues before hitting the Skies again to cross over to New York on Weds.
Talk to you from the Big Apple!!
