is slapshot really doing a month-long tour?

I was under the impression they only do a handful of shows a year in Europe. Some guy at a show tonight told me they were playing Zurich in April. Did some digging and found that they're supposed to be playing a month of shows with KrawallBrueder.

Seems like a lot of shows for them. Also seems weird that they don't seem to be the headliner.

yeah thats correct... I cant imagine it, but they are doing a month tour. I think its 30 shows in 31 days.

slapshot play a tour with a german rock band called krawallbrüder which are quite big over here. they hit the charts with their last records. aside from that gigs they play their own headliner shows when the other tour has day offs or so.
i can´t understand why slapshot play that tour because krawallbrüder don´t have the best reputationin the punk scene cause of rumors of right wing tendencies in the past.
i will see the tour a few times and some headliner shows too. first time for me in the Czech Republic what i´m really excited about.
honus, any chance that you make it over here with the band?

odd as the situation is, i'll check out the show here. probably need to buy a ticket in advance... madball sold out a while back, so i couldn't pay at the door and missed the show.

panzer, can you explain the name of the band berliner weisse to me? my german is pretty much non-existent, but i always assumed it meant "white berliner" and that just sounded like they were a RAC band... but i get the impression i'm totally wrong that they they're not right wing at all. maybe it refers to wheat (white) beer (weissen bier)? just sounded like sketchy name, but i seem to be way off.

hey random, berliner weisse is a special drink that has it´s origin in berlin. it´s a kind of beer with syrup in it, mostly Waldmeister.
