Did you know that ... I was thrown out of music school at the age of 14, because I was so lazy.

On the Linz Europe Tour 2007 I looked forward to: the coming together of the many different cultures during the tour and my 30th birthday, which I wanted to celebrate with a great gig on the ship if possible.

This year I am eager ... to see how the audience will react to our new songs, how settled the weather will be and of course I'm looking forward to my 31st birthday, which I would like to celebrate with a great gig on the ship if possible.
