Clearly wishful thinking. You can count yourself lucky if you get one of Un Chien, Wheel or Mountain in one set. Two of them already happened, but very seldom.
On the other hand Plan #1 is quite regular – I personally could do without it by now, but there you go…
Don't think this is actually a regular tour. Just spending a year between studio albums by filling in some missing regions and playing some festival gigs. And hopefully getting another Roadwork album ready in between.
There'll probably be a full tour in late autumn, but I rather doubt it. Probably just festivals this year after the spring gigs.
Ocean in her eye was played now and then over the years. Last time I personally heard it live was at the brilliant Darmstadt gig in 2013. 577 used to figure regularly in 2001 and 2002 setlists. Some tunes didn't work live as they did on record – especially Ozone or Evernine. Psychonaut was always a difficult beast live – sometimes it was sheer bliss, sometimes it turned out as an almost unrecognizable piece of acoustic mud. I like the spring 2002 versions though. There are also a few excellent Mantrick Muffin Stomps from that tour.
Radiance Freq. has been one of my alltime MP favourites on record and should be revived again live. Urgently awaited. Just try it, guys…
Probably instead of Plan #1, whis Has been played to death over the years – though still o.k. for me.
With all the gigs in March and April I wonder when a possible new album, presumably Roadwork V – will be out?
My suspicion is it will be out by summer – but who knows? Probably they're at it right now…
Just read that Damo Suzuki is there as well – performing with Earthless on Friday and Minami Deutsch on Saturday. Now let's just imagine – a prolonged Motorpsycho Halleluwah Jam with Damo…
Just dreaming, but who knows?
What? Lars M thrown out? The hero of many great recordings – Motorpsycho and otherwise? Shame on you, Byscenen security! Living behind the moon? Everybody's taping or filming these days with that devil's invention – the (not so) smart phone, so why evict somebody who does the job really good?
According to past experiences you can expect a MP festival gig of around 90 – 100 minutes. That's approximately the time the played at Herzberg in 08,11 and 15, at Freak Valley 14 and at the first Krach am Bach festival. Not sure about the last one.
Do I hear a future Motorpsycho tune here? Thought I recognized the riff somewhere in A.S.F.E:

Spinal Tap! Harhar…
There is of course also "stained glass" which might or might not refer to Judas Priest's "Stained Class" album. Unlikely though, as "stained glass" is the original meaning modified by Priest.
L.T.E.C. on the other hand refers to a historical anecdote – when told the people of France didn't have anough bread to eat, Queen Marie Antoinette alledgedly answered: "Let them eat cake…" or "Why don't they eat cake?"
Motorpsycho's title message seems to be more on the side of "Let's give them some really sweet pop songs after we fed our audience with heavy drone material the past years".
