BOMBENALARM - Back from The Krankenbett Show
The show was a blast. It was an overwhelming emotional moment to see them again and see Marc releasing all the pressure. So many thanks to all the people who helped, showed up… Special thanks to Loffi/Bianca, Hannover Crew, Michl/Flo/Jessy/Franz and Thom who came especially for that show. SEEIN RED + Gerard for coming and playing. And for sure thanks to Ville, Hekki and Jukka for flying in from Finland and spending so nice nights with me and making the trip to the fest. Lovely people like you make my world!!! Oh, not to forget the days before the fest in Bremen were really good and relaxing days too cause of my suomi friends, Ella and FirstClassSuicide cocktailbar!
BOMBENALARM “Back From The Krankenbett” Party
12th of April at the AZ in Mülheim BOMBENALARM will play their ‘comeback’ after the fucking wreck.
They invited SEEIN RED, there will be cocktails, food, great DJs and a big fun party. BOMBENALARM plus Sarah + me kind of wanna say thanks for all the great supprt we got from all over so i hope many of you can show up and party with us.
Slow but sure…
Slow but sure my body and my head recover and the label and everyday life show progress. In mid-march I will have the SKITKIDS releases ready and my wholesalelist newsletter will be updated and be send. So stay tuned i am getting back on track to rock the house!!! Aside from that i had a great weekend with KYLESA and BARONESS. Was amazing live and the people just rule. They know where they come from and who are their friends and they are definitely my friends! Next week i’ll take a 10 days holiday to do rehab for my arm and relax and then full forward to armagedom! By the way check out DSB on their euro tour, definitely great entertainment!
Holidays, new year and the annual Suomi trip
I had nice mellow holidays with good friends instead of christmas terror, good friends visiting me for some days, fun bowling match and now relaxing days at my parents in south germany. Next week i’ll head of to Finland, the annual Suomi trip with Victims is on. So happy that I can make it. Will be a great feeling to be on the road again and meet so many good friends again. Afterwards i’ll stay some days in Stockholm and want to hang out with my lovely viking family there. And yeah HAPPY NEW YEAR for the ones who care. I look forward to this one, last one was to much up and downs and deaths. My Grandma died, Kawakami and Chelsea died - R.I.P. - We had the horrible accident but also I was in Japan and had great times with good friends. So this year we leave the death and crash shit out and it’s perfect.
Congratulations Jos and Gerard
Forgot to post this on the website. 7th December i was in Amersfoort to celebrate the wedding of Jos and Gerard. Was my first trip since the accident and it was great. I am super happy for these two lovely bears, great if so good people find each other. I had good fun at the party, watching the over 40 generation dancing and drinking, got pretty wasted drinking and talking with Robert, Noel and Ronald the whole evening. Orange juice and beer glasses piled up in our corner!
update health situtaion
Finally all are out of the hospital again. After a lot of bad luck, infection with a hospital virus (orsa), another surgery, slow healing wounds, Sarah finally made it out of the hospital again today. So happy for her. She still has to go to the hopspital every second day to get new bandage on her open wound on the shoulder but finally some progress for her. Marc can start to use his right foot again, only up to 20kg for now, but step by step he gets his leg back and learns to walk again. My concentration problem and headache finally calms down and bones are healing good. So we all improve and moving forward.
Benefit money / Money situtation
First of all thanks so much to all the people who wrote me cards and letters and send presents and thought of us, the solidarity is amazing and kept me sane in the hospital and helped a lot to recover so fast. Knowing so many great people are there outside caring is a lovely and overwhelming feeling. I can’t thank you enough.
We have a big amount of money on the benefit account already. But we don’t know the financial situtaion yet. We are still waiting on a reply of the insurance about how much we can get from them. As soon as we know we will publish the details of what we have and spend. If we have money left after covering our expences we will forward it to ICTUS and/or other people who need it. So don’t worry we will not waste the money.

Update health and more
I am still going stronger every day but also throwbacks here like more pain in the broken rib area and hard to breath, maybe cause of doing to much again already. Marc is the one who has the hardest limitations cause of his injuries he is a little bit like a nursing case at the moment. Going on crutches just to the kitchen is like sport, his circulation is really weak he can’t sit for more than an hour… and now he had to go back int he hospital cause he got a thrombosis in his weak leg with the broken foot. Hardest throwback of us all, I realy feel with him…. Sarah is getting stronger and might go out of hospital on Monday.
I have trouble with money right now. I have to pay hospital fees of 210 EUR but that’s covered with benefit money, thank you so much. But I have problems with the doll money I get to pay my rent and health insurance. I didn’t get any the last three months cause of paper problems, also the unemployment office from Mülheim where I lived before wants about 800 EUR back. The pressing plant wants the last bills to be paid… So I need money really bad. Especially the peopel who owe me for a longer time and a lot of money should finally pay.
Some complications right now but well at least we live and the friends are all there and help and all will be good at the end!!!
We live and recover
For all of you who care for us helped or help us here’s a little „update“ on the development of the injuries of everyone involved with the accident of Bombenalarm. On the 22nd of September the right back tire of our van blew on the way to our show in Berlin and the van tumbled 3 times. About three weeks later 5 of the 6 that were inside the van left the hospital and are back home again. The wounds and bones are healing but slowly….
Marc’s foot is broken and so are some parts of his spine. He has crutches and a corset and will be really limited for the next months. Norman has some broken ribs. It’ll also take a while for him till everything is alright again. Stachel has several broken ribs and a broken shoulder. He had to stay for a quite long time in intensive care in hospital which took away a lot of strength. But he’s also doing much better and he is back home in Bremen now. Sarah (our friend from Muelheim) has some broken ribs and a broken shoulder as well. Due to the incompetence of the doctors in Braunschweig (the first hospital she went to) she moved to a different hospital in Essen to get an operation there. Of course this operation should have been made much earlier, which means that things are more complicated for here now. Fabian will be ok in a couple of weeks when his arm is totally healed again. Christoph just had some minor injuries which are almost fully healed already.
It looks like everyone had a health insurance. So we don’t expect high costs concerning this. It’s difficult to say how much money we will need for the van and equipment and stuff right now as we don’t know yet how much the assurance will pay. I guess the worst case would be something like 10.000 €. But we hope and also expect that the assurance will pay something.
We would like to thank everyone who thought of us, cared for us, took care of us, visited us in hospital, wrote letters and mails, donated money and organized or will organize benefit shows or similar things. It’s hard to describe how good it feels, that so many people are there for us when something shitty like this happens. It’s not only the financial help but much more the emotional help that feels so good. Thanks you all so much for your kind support.
Marc, Norman, Fabian, Stachel, Sarah and Christoph
Back home. Need Money. Goldenshshop is open. No reply on e-mails.
Back home means getting things done which piled up here while I was gone. Trouble with the tax office, unpaid bills… It’s a pain in the ass. I will focus on paper shit and things I want to structure and will still not answer e-mails until everything is really in order here (maybe October, maybe November, we’ll see). Please everyone who owes me money pay your debts cause I have serious money problems right now! Also Goldenshop (record and book shop) www.thegoldenshop.org has opened last Saturday. Congratulations to Ausma and Franz! Come by when you’re in Bremen! I have my office in the storage place behind the shop so you can meet me here and also you can get my lim. edition releases in the shop or from the webshop (soon).
