Goethe: Yes, until now we have only played smaller clubs. Not this scale. We were also able to travel with Betontod in the nightliner, so we could sleep if we wanted to and weren't so exhausted.
Lizal (Ramtatta): Yes, it's always stressful when you're terrorized as a driver on tour. Usually, it's very exhausting....
Goethe: (chimes in and laughs) I thought you were the calm person....
Lizal (Ramtatta): hahahaha, I consider that a rumor (we once had a concert in Halle, where I made a racket in the hotel room at night)
Goethe: Yes, it happens sometimes, they call it tour madness.
Finally, Josef, the new drummer, and Paul, the new bassist, burst through the door:
Goethe: Well, are you coming in too, you clowns? Someone here would like to do an interview with us for the Ramtatta fanzine.
Lizal(Ramtatta): How did it come about that you were invited as the tour support for BETONTOD?
Goethe: Well, it happened that we were contacted last year to see if we wanted to support the tour.
Lizal (Ramtatta): Are you all friends?
Goethe: Yes, we used to play a few shows together and always had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, in recent years we lost touch a bit. But luckily, that has changed now.
Lizal (Ramtatta): What have been the highlights so far on your tour?
Goethe: Dog sperm!
(everyone laughs)
Lizal (Ramtatta): Okay, we want to know more about that!
Goethe: So if we start with that, where we slept for 2 days from Monday to Tuesday, she just coldly ejaculated on my thigh!
Josef: Goethe is quite the hot one!
Goethe: She then licked my ear and suddenly there was a spot. But otherwise, you can say that every evening was a highlight for us. The venues were full everywhere, and the atmosphere was especially great in Zurich, Dresden, and Dortmund. Actually, every concert was something special for us.
Lizal (Ramtatta): How was it from the venues' side? Are punk bands treated differently when touring with a big, well-known band like BETONTOD?
Goethe: Yes, everything runs more professionally, and everything is very well organized in advance. These are all very established places where we played. I didn't have to worry about anything in this case; otherwise, the booking for Zaunpfahl goes through my agency. So, me myself.
Lizal: Struki from the band PIRATENPAPST was with you the whole time on tour as a technician. How did it come about that you hired him?
Josef: Yes, he couldn't run fast enough.
Goethe: I called all sorts of people, and then Toni suggested asking his bandmate. I wouldn't have thought of that beforehand. And I must say, it has gone very well with him so far.
Lizal: So it really pays off to have your own technician on such big tours?
Goethe: Yes, definitely.
Donald (Ramtatta): So it was important for you to have your own technician with you?
Josef: Yes, it makes sense because it just goes faster. If you're just the opening band, you often don't have much time.
Someone else enters the backstage of the Backstage:
Goethe: By the way, this is Kasper! (the new merch guy and jack-of-all-trades for Zaunpfahl). It's important to have a small crew like this on tour that you can rely on. Kasper lives around the corner from me, and we've known each other for a long time.
Lizal (Ramtatta): Now I'm curious about who the new musicians of Zaunpfahl are. What kind of guys are you?
Josef: This is the "Tipper" who is always fiddling with his phone. (points at Paul)
Lizal (Ramtatta): Oh, so you're basically doing a kind of "karaoke punk show" and playing the music from your phone?
Paul: I'm just... well, you know, there are days when you're just not in a good mood...
Goethe: (interrupts) But you can still say your name.
Paul: I'm Paul.
Lizal (Ramtatta): Paul, why aren't you feeling well?
Donald (Ramtatta): I hope it's not because you drank too much yesterday?
Paul: No, not at all. I'm the only one here who isn't drinking.
Donald (Ramtatta): That cannot be tolerated.
Paul: You bastards! I have a hangover as if I had partied with you until 7 AM.
Goethe: Well, I did that!
Lizal (Ramtatta): What exactly are you doing with Zaunpfahl now?
Paul: Yes, I'm the bassist and grumbling instrument. I want to stay away from the definition of "singing" for now.
Lizal (Ramtatta): How did you get into the band?
Paul: Yes, I wrote to Goethe through some platform.
Donald (Ramtatta): What? Elitepartner?
Paul: No, that's for people with standards; if anything, it's Fuckbook. Anyway, he wrote to me there, and I was supposed to come to Teterow for rehearsals on January 18. Then we rehearsed and parted ways with a good feeling, and we agreed to keep in touch. Two days later, I see my photo on Fistbook with the comment: "The new lineup is set." It was clear then that it worked out and I was in the band. That's how Goethe and I always communicate, and when something is confirmed, I read it on Fickbuch.
Lizal (Ramtatta): Josef, how was it for you? How did you come to ZAUNPFAHL?
Josef: Yes, we had briefly discussed it during the last drummer change. And we were often on the road with my former band BOTOX and ZAUNPFAHL. We got to know each other better that way, and at some point, Goethe asked me if I had time and interest. Yes, and then I also read it on Facefuck at some point.
Goethe: That was all the official version. The unofficial one is that I called the employment office and asked if they had a bassist and a drummer for me. And they said, these two are not first choice and are real shelf warmers, but they just have to go.
Lizal: Yes, two fewer Hartz 4 recipients again.
Josef: No, we are not paid; we are enslaved. We still receive Hartz 4 for that reason.
Goethe: And then we started rehearsing properly around mid-February. Before the tour, we played a small "test gig" in Goldberg. Struki was already with us then, and then we hit the road on tour!
Lizal: So guys, I thank you for the interview and wish you much success with your new lineup and awesome gigs for the future! Rock on and see you soon!
