Breaksea Caravel Tour Part 4

Noah at the Queen Kong Club

After Stuttgart we made our way to Bern, Switzerland. We were set to play two shows in Switzerland. One at a punk house in Biel and another at the Queen Kong Club in Neuchatel. Before either show we needed to reconnect with our buddy Diego so we could stay with his kin. The three single guys shacked up Diego and his wife Noemie. The rest of us stayed with Noemie's parents a few blocks away.

When we woke up we had some time to burn before we had to be at the show so we decided to go to the Aare River and then busque a little in the downtown. When we got to the park next to the Aare the boys decided to fit in with the locals and sport their Euro trunks.


The Aare was 11 degrees Celsius, and I opted to not swim in the frigid fast moving waters coming off the recently thawed Alps. That did not stop others from doing so. Nik and Diego warmed up afterwards by taking a dip in the pools conveniently located nearby.

The shows were great. We played with an awesome French band named Thee Verdunes at the Queen Kong Club. They will be coming to Minneapolis this Summer for a Blues Festival so we hope to see them again there. If you are in Minneapolis I would make a point to go see them. It will be worth it.

I won't say too much more about Switzerland now, because I went back there after the tour was over. Needless to say Switzerland is amazing it comes highly recommended and goes highly recommended. If you get the chance, do it. Do it.
