EARTHBOUND 2013

[Uli]

Just confirmed, this will be the room EB 2013 happpens in:



It will look a bit different, with stage & PA. Fingers crossed that a local beer (Pale Ale) can be secured for us...
Special thanks to Gerhard for making this happen! 

Edit: support act is also in the planning!

[slaughterboy]

That looks rather good,  Uli 

[Uli]

Yeah, TV sent me the pic (he got from Gerhard) and I thought "looks perfect for Earthbound".

Special thanks goes to PamP who got me in touch with Gerhard (he is the one who does nearly all the work, while I can sit back and do updates from time to time!)...
For those on FB it's no secret any more, so I guess I'll make it public: support comes from PamP, who'll play a few songs for us. 

[Alan]

Does look an impressive gaff and an interesting location

[Uli]

So, who's planning to come to EB 2013?

[TV]

My first thought for Earthbound 2013 is to play for the first time ever the entire set of new songs for the forthcoming 2014 album. What do you think TUTS?
And - if all goes to plan - there will be a very very special exclusive item on the Earthbound merch stand...shhhhh!.....
Greetings from Finland!

[Uli]

Wow, great news! I'd love to hear the songs from the upcoming album!!! 
Plus of course some rarities: I thought as "Not a bad day" (the album) is 10 years old now, it'd be good to hear some of those songs (especially the ones not played in a long time)! Incl. "Earthbound" of course. 

I am currently trying to write my first ever text for a press release, as Gerhard from "Augsburg Calling UK" is asking for an Earthbound one for the presentation of the festival in the local press. Should be a good one. 

[Ilove]

Ich bin bereit und freue mich tierisch.
Kommt das Urmeli auch?

Hurra, also mit Dir, Wolfgang, Klaus, TV und Pamp und mir sind wir schon 6...
Hoffe es werden noch ein paar mehr!

Die Chaoten von der Augsburger Puppenkiste haben glaub ich Hausverbot im Gaswerk (zu gefährlich).

Can't imagine anyone saying 'no'!

Sounds pretty bloody marvelous,  Tim

[Alan]

Sounds good to me too!

[Uli]

Please note that Klaus asks to get back to him via email, if you want to come to EB. 

Please, send a mail to news@tvsmith.com , if you are intending to come to Augsburg. We'll put you on a list and it will help us to make plans for the evening.

Btw, this is the full festival line-up so far. Looks like EB is free, exhibition is 3 Euro, festival gigs cost 15 Euro.

Pretty much resigned to not making this, now. Flights are too expensive for me to afford and the time to find alternative means of making the trip is running out

[Alan]

I'm looking very doubtful too - initially I was potentially in Germany already with two separate business trips but none now seem to be happening and I can't afford to do it under my own steam

[Uli]

Mrs Fleagle also told me they won't be able to make it. Looking like not many UK TUTS will be with us this time. 
(I know, it's difficult with schedules & travel arrangements and all that sorta stuff... as I'd missed some EB's as well...)
