We arrive in Köln, affectionately known to Canadians and some other internationals as Cologne. This will be Elliott BROOD's first show ever in Germany, so there is excited anticipation, at least within the band. First off, the feel is a bit unnerving, at least for me, since I've been in the relative safety of Netherlands where most everyone will speak in English with you. We park and the storefronts all look strange and foreign. Places with names like "Hairkiller" and "Salz and Pfeffer". Everything feels so foreign, and the German tongue doesn't exactly sound friendly.
We are playing a club called the King Georg (evidently once a strip club) and the stage is centred near the back with tables all around (I wonder why). The promoter, Peter, is absolutely awesome, also a greet DJ, and manages to bring about 120 paid patrons on this Thursday night. Most of them smoke.
