[asked what he remembers about Beatsteaks' first gig which was at a graduation party in Lichtenberg] Quite a lot, to be honest. Only positive things. This gig was the best drug I ever took or could have taken, totally incredible. I instantly wanted more, instantly wanted to be on stage again. Back then we played Beastie Boys covers, songs by the Ramones and NOFX, but also some of our own songs. This was great. Afterwards I smoked a cigarette with our keyboardist Bernd and our guitarist Peter and we talked about how we have to do this more often from now on.
