Wayne @ TV Noir
So, here's my report from the TV Noir show.
The venue was quite close to my flat, I went there on foot. I met up with Eline at the bar there, a surprisingly nice bar for Neukölln standards, where I drank my 4th coffee of the day. After that, we went to find a place to sit down and were later joined by two friends of Eline's.
The show was very funny, Wayne kept making jokes and Arne became the star of the night: apparently Wayne's live band is called "The Arne" now. ;) But he warned him: "If you get too big, you're out. I've learned that." Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
He performed a piano and guitar version of "Shine on" plus a song from the new album (I think it was "Perfect Lie"), "The other side", the Paul van Dyke song in which he was vocalist, and a cover (I'm ashamed to admit I have no idea what song that was.)
During the show the audience had to shout song titles and the guests had to choose one and perform it. Die Happy performed "Give it away" by the Red Hot Chilly Peppers (the song that made the singer and guitarist meet in Prague), while Wayne chose "Wonderwall" by Oasis. Waaay too easy! He couldn't really remember the chords, though, and kept going "*chord* That's not right... *chord* That's not right..." I was tempted to shout "Bobotanz!", but I managed to stop myself. ;) Also, Eline's attempt at bribery ("If you call a Los Helmstedt song, I'll buy you a beer") wasn't really tempting, given I was still quite hung-over. :P
He also kept chatting with the Die Happy guitarist and after a rather long discussion said "Yeah, we have a date." XD
Marta from Die Happy lay down on the little sofa and rested her head in the host's lap while she was answering a question. When it was Wayne's turn, he promptly did the same (which was quite problematic, since he was sitting in an armchair next to the sofa), but said he could feel "something" against his head and sat back up, adding "That was very disturbing." XD Eline suggested I should draw a comic about that. I actually had an idea for a Los Helmstedt comic last week and wanted to draw it yesterday, but I was too busy fighting off the Evil Hangover of Death. -___-
After the show we went to him and said hello. He seemed completely oblivious to the fact that I'm living in Berlin now and was like "You came especially for this?!" I wanted to tell him "Why, yes, of course!", but Eline was faster and explained to him I'm living in Neukölln as well. He wanted to know why I had moved to Berlin (I'm sure I've already told him, but we know how absent-minded musicians can be) and Eline said "Because she wanted to be close to you!" XD She also said my German has improved and he was like "No! Don't speak German! It will make me look bad!" XD He then added something about not wanting to speak German because the British had won the war and I pointed out I couldn't use that excuse, because I had lost the war as well, and he was like "Oh, that's true. OK, you're not a good example for my theory." XD
It was a very nice evening, I'm looking forward to the actual tour. I'd like to see more than one concert, but I don't really want to spend all that money on travels and accommodation... =/

It was a fun night out for sure, though. Hangover or no hangover!

Did you clear things up about the promotional stuff? Or did he forget again? :P

"If you get too big, you're out. I've learned that." Awwww, poor thing. But a bit overestimation of his capabilities. :D *pets him*
