After a flying breakfast we only had to travel some 10 miles to reach Hamburg und Reeperbahn Festival and, as a miracle, with a day off. I wonder if the booking agent knew what he was doing……..but Hamburg and St Pauli was such a thrill to visit with it’s good food, record stores, vintage clothing and the pride of FC St. Pauli playing one of their homegames. The day was wrapped up with a livegig from the Berliner Kamikaze Queens in the harbour. Perfect!
With a day off on a tour like this you’re eager to gig again, especially when you see other bands live. So we couldn’t wait to get on stage at The Gruner Jäger. The only problem was how to squezze in six fullgrown bastards on a tiny stage used for Hamburger Hompa Blasen. But once Fatboy was there nothing could get us offstage. And what a crowd! Amazing, with sounds that lifted the rooftop to the stars and gave us energy that will last all the way to Berlin. It was a pleasure meeting you all and a special salute to the hospitality of Bela B showing us the good sides of the city. Hats off to Hamburg!

OK, sorry for the short delay in the reporting of this Overdrive Bockwurst Tour, but we suffered from bad connections to the wonderful world of 3G or Wi-Fi. Anyway, the next stop was Bremens Lagerhaus, a punky club in a really nice neighbourhood with clubs and vintage shops. After a short nap we got up to enjoy the sounds of Bremen Rockabilly band Velvetone! A really strong band with great output. Thanks for backing us up – onstage and offstage! Fatboy had a great night with the good crowd that showed up for the Bremen Bop.

The band in a cheerful mood, relaxing and having fun moments before a show…….

Weinheim, not far from the center of knowledge Heidelberg, was the third halt of the Overdrive Tour. With just 35 miles in summer heat (!) we were treated with local food and wine at the Central Café. Served with tender care. The nightly show was to be recognized but this time, with a drop of poison in it – The Weinheim Twist. We do hope too see you and all your friends in the future.
This day holds some 50 miles to the Bop Street City of Bremen, see you out there!

Fatboy’s next hold in Germany was nothing less than Bayrische Munich! High on yodel and Gebirgsjägerbrot, Fatboy delivered 16 tons of energy in minor keys to the people who chose Fat Fest instead of Oktober Fest. It was a pleasure meeting you all! See you soon in a bierstube near you!
Munchener Rockabilly Doll

Salute to all you Kölner Rockers that stopped by this Blue Shell juke joint on a monday night! Together with you there were low down sounds and moves that will be discussed in the towers of the Dome. When will they be back? Soon in a joint near you!
This day the route leads Fatboy along Autobahn to Tyrol und Munchen. And as a coincidence there is some sort of party going on……..Oktoberfest they call it………..

Fatboy just arrived at the Blue Shell in Cologne, Germany. As you all can see, we are ready to R-O-C-K!!!!

After a few rainy hours in our beloved Fatboy Overdrive Tour Bus, Kolding, Denmark was the next victim of this tour. The good people of this city was to be exposed to the sounds of heartbending, mindwrecking Melancholy Rockabilly from the north. The shaggy rock club Pitstop suited Fatboy perfect for this Saturday night. We salute the dedicated music lovers that supported us through the night and hopefully we will see you again in the near future. Keep up the good work in supporting Fatboy by spreading the word! But the question of the night remains – who was the winner of the Hillybilly Limbo contest?

Last night Fatboy made their first appearance on Danish soil. Beatiful Copenhagen was drenched in sunshine and greeted us with smörrebröd, pölser and Gammeldansk! Ohhwee! Sometimes we have the best job around. The Danish (actually Scandinavian) crowd seemed to enjoy the Rockabilly Drama Fatboy presented at Beta around midnight. A room full of tapping feet can’t be wrong, Fatboy Will be back!

This coming weekend the Fatboy Train will make a hold in red ‘n’ white country for the very first time!
Beta, Copenhagen on Friday 16th and Pitstop, Kolding on Saturday 17th. Home of D-A-D, Gasolin, Volbeat and Lars Ulrich – yes, we are truly honoured and excited!! All aboard!

Wanted!!! A new booking agent that appreciates and understands the value of S L E E P !
According to the Fatboy (rock around the) clock, the bus left to the airport at 4 in the morning. As usual, we were struggling home as the birds woke up…….
Finally there, at the Park Kultury in the small town of Nowy Tomysl we were welcomed by Magic Man Piotr Kujda (hope I got that right…) and his fabolous crew. Fatboy preached about bad news, trains that never goes home and tears that never leaves. In other words, one joyful evening. And we just have to salute the fans that drove 500km (!) from Warsaw for a happy afternoon with Fatboy. We are not worthy….can’t wait to see you all again! Til then, Rock Hard!

I’m not alone, I’m not alooonee, fear of heights Overdrive
