Here is the program we made for the tour, listing the songs we played at each stop:

This is us, performing on the platform:

Here’s a shot where you can see some of the lovely people who joined us on our little adventure:

Most of it went off without a hitch, until we got about two-thirds of the way through the line. Security officers from the BVG (Berlin’s transportation authority) caught up with us at Moritzplatz, and despite some passionate arguing on our behalf by our attendees they refused to let us play at the station. However while the officers were distracted by the debate, we very quietly managed to play the song “Revenge,” starting on the platform at the station and then continuing onto the next train. Check out the video below!

After that, they followed us and threatened to fine and/or arrest us if we played again, so we rode the few stops to the end of the line and finished the tour upstairs at the Hermanstrasse station. After being underground all afternoon, it was nice to play the last few songs in the sun. We even won over some new fans who happened to be passing by!

We will be posting exclusive videos and photos from the U8 Tour over the coming weeks, so if you want to see more of our shenanigans make sure you pledge to get access. http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/thebloodarm
We are at 70% of our target now, so keep it coming!!!

Love love love,

Dyan

The U8 underground/metro line runs from the North to the South of the
city. It has 24 stops and takes about an hour to travel from start
(Wittenau) to finish (Hermannstraße), taking in some of Berlin’s
busiest stations including Alexanderplatz and Kottbusser Tor.

With a keyboard and an acoustic guitar, Dyan (keyboardist) and
Nathaniel (singer) will stop at every station to play a different song
along the way. All contributions go to the recording of their new
album “Sister City.”

Join us! We will be performing the first song at Wittenau station at 2
p.m. on Saturday…meet us there, or come see us along the way!

We will be posting videos of the performances on the website for our
Pledge Music campaign as an exclusive for pledgers only. We have
raised 60% of the funds needed to make our new album, so we still need
your help! We are offering lots of special incentives, so check it out

Meet Matt Wheeler! Our new drummer!*

Matt is a recent transplant to Berlin from the UK and the former
Rumble Strips drummer.

Check him out in action in their video for the single “Motorcycle”:

We are really happy to have him on board. He’s adding new life to our
older songs and making the new ones really snap!

Here he is after rehearsal yesterday:

A little sweaty but no worse for wear. We are rehearsing our asses off
almost every day getting ready for our upcoming shows in the UK:

24 May Club Surya, London, UK Tickets
25 May Inside Out/Seen, Darlington, UK Tickets
26 May Crooked Ways Festival, UK Tickets

We’re gonna play a few new tunes on these dates too, so come on down
and have a listen, say hello and try to high five Matt. He’s really tall!!!

Love,
Nathaniel

*Zach, our previous drummer, could not continue with us for personal
reasons. We wish him great success in all future endeavors!
