The Sunpilots meet Finland

Short after The Sunpilots had played at Junction Bar, I knew there next gig was one day before xmas and I had this wonderful idea to bring my whole young family there - who were visiting us over the xmas-days.
On Facebook I checked out at which time they were mentioned to play because there were also some other Berlin-Newcomer bands. Bob - guitarplayer of The SunPilots - wrote me back that they should start around 9 pm.
So me, my wife, her brother, his girlfriend and my wife's sister left our home at 8 pm and we were there 1/2 hour before they should start.
Another band was playing already so we took some drinks, saw the Pilots staying around and we were excited to see and hear them play.
The audience changed from band to band (groupies), so it was getting empty in the club after the band before the Sunpilots stopped playing. I hoped so much that more would come when they started to play but at least there were maybe 40 - 50 people around. Jussi, my wife and the rest of my fin-connection liked the way they were playing and singing very much. After some songs they had an short interrupt because the pedal of the drum-highhead broke so they had to borrow one from another band. Also Raj's microphone stopped working some songs before the end of their gig so he took Bob's mic.
After the gig we had some funny time with the band, making photos and were buying two CDs of their last record (support is alway important!) for Jussi and Eeva as a xmas-present.
Getting one more drink and some talk we left the Frannz club at midnight and were driving back home. At home we were still talking about it and listened to their music. Thanks guys. Next gig is already reserved.
