 23/04/2008 Planet Notion recently told the world (perhaps we’re being a little optimistic about the scale of our readership) about melody driven (semi)rock band The Parlotones. They’re from South Africa, don’t you know? You can read all about them on the ‘Who the Fuck’ section of the site so we won’t rake up old ground. As Roman poet Juvenal once said “Like warmed-up cabbage served at each repast, The repetition kills the wretch at last”. Bass player Glenn decided to take some photos while the band were supporting the, um, Wombats in Germany, and he’s shared them with us. Isn’t that lovely? He even wrote about it too. Exciting!
“It's a nice, sunny day in Munich. So nice, in fact, that our good friend Adam offers to treat us to a bicycle tour of Munich. He's a tour guide, see? So after each grabbing a bike, our 12-person strong tour rockets off down the streets of Munich, instilling fear into the hearts of the pedestrians and stopping off at historical sites to brush up on our German history. Adam is a great tour guide and has us hanging onto every word. After a ride through a big, beautiful park we stop off at a lakeside restaurant for a pint of beer. Only one though, as drinking and riding is not tolerated in this part of town. After a few more stops and near accidents we head back to the bicycle hold, rack up our bikes, and head off to soundcheck.” Glenn Hodgson – Bassist – The Parlotones
