Cologne

It’s a rainy day in Cologne, Germany.. which is unfortunate because it looks like a really nice place to explore. Apparently this is what it looks like on a nice day (thanks, google image search)..

Of course, I have no idea where this place is in relation to where we are.. So i guess it’s OK that it’s a crappy day. We have the show tonight and then travel about 4 hours to Werchter, Belgium..

Day off tomorrow and then on Saturday we play the “TW Classic” gig with (holy shit) Iggy and The Stooges and The Police..

um. what?!?!?

classic..

One of my favorite tunes, covered brilliantly..

Radiohead – “Ceremony”

travel update

So I am currently on tour with a Latin musician called Juanes, doing live video and VJ-related things for his concerts. I worked with him in 2005 for the Mi Sangre Tour, and am back out with him again this year for the La Vida World Tour. We started in March and did a little over 2 months in the US, but have recently embarked on a two month European leg, which will have covered 10 countries in Western Europe. We kicked it off with a show at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, to a crowd of about 4,000. Here’s the theatre, pre-show..

After London we went to Berlin, my first visit to Germany. We played the Citadel Music Fest, which also features performances from Rage Against The Machine, Queens of the Stone Age, and a bunch of other great acts (all on other nights, unfortunately).. Would have loved to have seen Rage! Had an excellent time anyway though.. I met up with my friend Dawn who took us out for BBQ on the river and then to see what’s left of the Berlin Wall. Oh and she also brought me cupcakes from her shop. I call this one “Berlin Wall w/ Cupcakes”..

We are in the German city of Cologne right now, it smells very nice here.. :-/

More to come.
