just a reminder that gary numan is playing his only swiss show this sunday (23-02-2014) at grabenhalle st. gallen.

oh, and by the way, the support act (this would be me…) had to cancel the support gig due to health reasons.
BUT who cares about support acts anyway, so go to see GARY NUMAN and have a blast!
i saw some live-footage from numan’s hamburg show this week and it looked and sounded fantastic!

nevertheless a big apology to sasha, oliver and adi from the grabenhalle-team for the cancellation!

i will play as support act for gary numan (uk) on 23-02-2014 at grabenhalle st. gallen.
this will be gary numan’s only concert in switzerland on his european tour to support his new album ‘splinter’.

not that it matters, but this is going to be my only show in switzerland this year and it’s NOT a concert by ‘the hollow man’ but by ‘some guy with some keyboards’.

for more info, please visit www.grabenhalle.ch. tickets can be bought online or at the fantastic bro records, so support your local record store!

and here’s something to smile: it’s a picture of gary numan and me, taken at the aftershow-party (he had to…) in manchester 1999…

‘kulturmagazin saiten’ wrote a nice article about the first show in zurich. it can be found here.

‘st. galler tagblatt’ did an interview with me. i would provide the link, but the greedy bastards want money to read it online. i will scan the interview soon.

‘radio top’ did a small feature about the shows with some music but i couldn’t find it in their archive yet…

the last show of my mini-tour was also the only one without any guests on stage. so it meant serious business especially after i saw and heard the fantastic dean blunt during soundcheck. have to say, it went quite well, the sound and lights were fantastic and the ambience at the palace is always very special. was a great place to play my last ever concert in switzerland. it was the only concert where i played the new album ‘walking ghost phase’ in full.

15-piano sonata no. 1 by scriabin, 4th movement (it was crap, my playing, not the piece…)

ok, big sorry for the mess up, i planed to play a headphone-concert at this lovely little place, but unfortunately wasn’t able to. so, it was a ‘normal’ concert at a very nice location. etrit hasler was so nice to help me out again and dj whitemoon played great tunes between and after my sets. i played the last track on the piano and etrit did his part without microphone, so it was our first (and only and last ever) unplugged song. a lovely night it was.

first show in my hometown in years. wasn’t my best day to be honest. wasn’t happy about my first set and cut it short a bit, but it was fun to play with kimberly brockman, karl lassauer and etrit hasler again in the second set. i know that the sound guy recorded the whole concert but haven’t had a chance to listen to it yet.
