Now Our Funds Are Tight And We Chose Our Sides

Skandalöserweise ist eine Veröffentlichung von Waited Til It Was Light, dem besten englischen Jungspund-Rockalbum '08, hierzulande immer noch nicht in Sicht. Ein Lichtblick in Sachen Johnny Foreigner ist aber seit Anfang des Jahres ihr stets unterhaltsames Tourtagebuch, aktuell in der Juli-Ausgabe. Für mich so lesenswert nicht weil ich die Band und ihre Musik mag sondern weil es den so harten wie abenteuerlichen Touralltag ohne großes Schönreden (und mit einer Portion guten alten britischen Sarkasmus) offen dokumentiert. Da ist nicht jeder Auftritt Friede Freude Eierkuchen, wenn der Clubbesitzer versucht sich um die Gage zu drücken wird das genau so dort wiedergegeben wie das Gefühl auf Ibiza etwas fehl am Platze zu sein:
There's food stalls and clothes stalls, all really, really expensive, and it’s like ladland. I get well nervous until two seconds into the first song when we all realise that these people DANCE TO ANYTHING, and we go down great; everyone's from England and happy to be away, everyone’s on pills and the sun goes down halfway thru our set and at the end I jump into the crowd and get the sweat hugged out of me and stagger upstairs and pass out. Not the most meaningful gig ever, but a major fun holiday. We watch The Enemy and they're shit. I think they're going to be massive.
