The author of this article will join the tour between Berlin and Bremen, supposedly for another feature about MP’s European success , incl. insights about psychonauts. Cool!
For a possible pre-meeting in Berlin I suggest the lovely Biergarten of Cassiopeia next to Astra (ca. 200m down the street) from 18:00 on or so. Doors in Berlin will open 20:00 and RotoR will go on at 21:00.
Here is a map of the area.
See you!!!
Here is the link to the festival-run label. No further info available.
Nice set, the return of the “The other fool” is very welcome and I hope “LLM” will be played much more frequently than during the last tour! Which Dead song did they do? “The other one” inside “Cornucopia” maybe?
Btw: Attend the tour on Facebook!
Tromsø setlist:
The new THE BLACK KEYS‘ album “Brothers” (due sometime in May) is simply fantastic! It even surpasses the band’s critically acclaimed “Attack and release” (2008). Just good music: 21st century blues. Check them out:

Norwegian prog-punkers, still motorin’ hard
With a gracious liner nod to â€Âthe mighty BÖC for the album titleâ€Â, Motorpsycho’s 14th magnum opus in 20 years is, finally, their definitive record. From Stoogey roots in ’89, the trio blossomed into northern Europe’s own Zeppelin, thanks to the copiously Ledded prog-punk-metal of their marathon live shows. Mid-period albums ably disgressed into delicate West Coast pop, but since losing their drum anchorman in ’05, they’ve not faltered, re-embracing mountain-high rockage on a run of four pulsatingly heavy albums, culminating with this 60 minute monster. The opening Starhammer finds axe-wizard Hans Magnus ’Snah’ Ryan picking brittle, otherworldly abstractions like latterday Tom Verlaine, but by The Bomb-Proof Roll And Beyond, he’s thrumming up a rotor-blade cyclic storm. W.B.A.T. segues startlingly from skittering Miles’s Dark Magus fusion into skyscraping Physical Graffiti riffage, before four-parter Gullible’s Travails moods-hops Quadrophenia-like towards an epic, arms-aloft conclusion. (Andrew Perry, 4/5)
