This winter in Australia, The Vagrants
Hello Again,
Long time no write, sorry.
Now that we are back from our European tour, I want to say thanks to all the people that came to see The Vagrants play, had a beer with us, gave us a place to stay, and for all the musicians in The Vagrants, and the bands that played with us, especially The On Fires. It is always a great night when you are playing with us.
A quick update as to what The Vagrants are doing at the moment. All of the songs that I have written have always been written on an acoustic guitar. I didn't plan it that way, it is just the way it seems to happen. So now Renate and I are doing some acoustic shows. We have played a house party already and we are gearing up to do some more acoustic shows in and around Melbourne and then a bit in NSW, SA and QLD.
We are also in the middle of writing new music as well. The new material will definitely be more diverse and we hope to not travel down roads we have already been down. We are Vagrants at heart!!!
The other major item on our list is that Renate and I are working our asses off to make our small, but growing all too quickly, art/ gifts/ import/ greeting card company www.iqartcards.com. This company has been going for 12 years and helped to fund the beginning of The Vagrants and is dear to our hearts. It is art, it is helping artists, and helped us to stay sane/ insane during the day.
Just wanted to say hi, hope you are all well, and let me know if you want to do a gig with The Vagrants (acoustic or electric) here in Australia before I head overseas in November.
Cheers,
Steve

Hey Guys, Christina Sophie is just a great chick and she wrote this after a Vagrants gig. You might have to translate it, but hey, that is a cool challenge.

"Thank's for rockin' out with "The Vagrants"
Hallo ihr Lieben,
ich hatte dieses mal echt keine Ahnung, wie ich meinen Post anfangen soll zu schreiben.
Aber ich will mich jetzt einfach mal versuchen. ;)
Es war Freitag, der 13. (Mai.)
Viele denken es sein ein Pechtag, aber das Kann ich so gar nicht verstehen.
Dieses Jahr war es einer der besten Tage überhaupt.
Als ich gelesen habe das „The Vagrants“ nach Mühlhausen komen würden, dachte ich: „Okay, kann man sich ja mal anhören.“
Ich hatte vorher im Internet schonmal in die Lieder reingehört, und fand diese ziemlich gut.
Das diese Band aus Australien kommt, ist natürlich ein weiterer Pluspunkt gewesen.
Naja am besagten Abend des 13. Mai’s bin ich dann mit ein paar Freunden in die „KuFa“ in Mühlhausen gegangen.
Mit der Vorband „Pastic Society“ gab es einen super Einstieg in den Abend. Danke euch vielmals dafür. Ich rede jetzt mal nicht so viel von eurem tollen Auftritt, da es ja eigentlich um Australien geht in diesem Blog. ;)
Das Autogrammposter an meiner Wand :)
Daher auch der Name des Post's ;)
Aber nun zum eigentlichen Thema:
„The Vagrants“
Ich weiß bis heute noch nicht, wie ich den 13. Mai in Worte fassen soll...
Nach dem Auftritt der Vagrants hab ich zu Paula gesagt: "Komm, die sprechen wir an und holen uns Autogramme!" Ich glaub sie war anfangs skeptisch, aber ich bin dann einfach drauf los.
Sie sind echt supernett. Danke Steve vielmals für das nette Gespräch und der ganzen Band für den tollen Auftritt. Leider habe ich weder Fotos noch Videos von dem Auftritt, da meine Speicherkarte von der Kamera den Geist aufgegeben hat, bevor ich die Dateien runterziehen konnte.
So kann ich meine Erinnerungen leider nur in Text- und nicht in Bild- und Videoform mit euch teilen.
Ich kann nur eins sagen: Nächstes Jahr sind sie wieder in Europa und auch in Deutschland auf Tour, wie sie erzählt haben, also geht zu einem der Konzerte! ;)
