I’ve used an ellipsis in the thread title as this is all I can find on it. It’s called Strawberries and was recorded in Stockholm with “genius” Swedish musicians. So, hopefully not the lads from Europe, then. https://www.hamburg-magazin.de/veranstal tungen/robert-forster-und-band-1244068 | ||

Europe the Swedish 80s hair metal band, not the continent, just in case that needed clarification. | ||

I guess the tour will expand gently as time goes on, though I wouldn't mind a trip back to Dresden. Will he push down daringly into Italy? Strawberries is a very unRF title. So he just popped into a Stockholm studio and whacked one out? Shouldn't there be MessageBoard spies hoofing around after him, cagey interviews outside studio doors, cornering him creepily over coffee in GamlaStan? Something to look forward to in '25 anyway. God knows it's needed. | ||

A London date has been announced for 11th October. I’m guessing 4-6 UK dates, one in Dublin and maybe 8 on the continent. | ||

I was thinking about Linz, but it turns out it's a standing audience. "We could put a little chair at the side for you," wrote the girl, kindly. The Austrian GBs fans must be either younger or more robust than I would have imagined. It was a fairly decrepit bunch in Barcelona and comfortable seating. Back to scouring the tour dates. | ||

On the Robert's fb : "All shows on my September/October tour through Europe/UK and Ireland will be with my Swedish band. We are rocking! It is my first band tour since 2019, and we are promoting a new album that was recorded in Stockholm in September/October last year. More information on the album and the tour will be coming out very soon. The band are amazing, we have made a record that is brave and beautiful, and we are taking all of that energy into our concerts." I'm going to miss the Cologne concert miserably as I'm supposed to be in Rwanda and Kenya in September-October... | ||

Landsberg has just popped up, a nice-looking Bavarian town about an hour from Munich with a proper theatre & proper seats! That looks like my birthday treat to myself! | ||

Video already gone! At least when I tried to play it from Sydney. Thanks anyway, Andrew. | ||

Ah, the video works in the article link. And what I delightful video and song it is. I love the choreography, and the curious cat. When I saw the title of the album was Strawberries, I wondered if it would have a 1960s feel. I'm glad my suspicion has proved correct. | ||

Cats are such scene stealers. Beautiful lyric. Bavarian theatre, meanwhile, remains stubbornly silent on the subject of concert tickets. | ||

Nice review of the single here, although I think the song is more Nancy & Lee than Doris Day. https://louderthanwar.com/robert-forster -strawberries-single-review-video-premie re/ |
