Now, for the first time in Verviers all 3 acts share the same stage as MIND2MODE kick off their 2013 schedule. With the band currently rehearsing some new material, this will be the first opportunity to preview the new show.

While drowning our sorrows after a particularly un-inspiring Sample Minds gig, we had the drunken inspiration to broaden our musical horizons and play U2 and Depeche Mode songs too. Rather than commit in blood, we each took a bite from a lemon that happened to be on the bar. Thus began ‘The Lemon Project’ which in the fullness of time would become MIND2MODE.

The holiday resort equivalent to the Bermuda Triangle - it would be true to say that many things have been lost at these adult weekenders ranging from iPhones to innocence, but to my knowledge no aeroplanes or ships!!

This would be sandwiched between a full U2 show on Friday evening in Hannover and a return to the same venue on Sunday night to play a full Depeche Mode set. All in all this would mean a combined setlist of 60 songs!!!! We love a challenge!!!!

Luckily this happens quite often for us as I have mentioned earlier in the case of Wilhelmshaven where we have now played 5 times. It was August 2010 when we last performed in Eckernforde on the Baltic coast of Germany and as I remember it, most of the crowd were dressed as Pirates.

Great timing you might say!
