Unplugged Shows

dear Friends,

last time we announced that Don and Silver are currently working on some acoustic conversions of several Bettie Ford and general cover songs. You can look forward to get some first impressions, how it sounds and if they did it right, when they go live in november / december.
The premiere of these Unplugged Sessions takes place at the Prime Club, Cologne on November, the 20th, when the guys open the stage for Tyla from Dogs D'Amour on his Solotour.

Tourdates:

20.11. Köln – MTC (Support Tyla)
13.12. Frankfurt – Dreikönigkeller
14.12. Kassel – Das Haus
15.12. Halle – Unikum
20.12. Köln – Stereo Wonderland (+ Christmas-Aftershow Party mit DJ Rock Vegas und DJ Tank Williams)

Remaining Shows 2007

Dear Friends,

please take a look into our "Shows" section, because we added a few new concerts for 2007. In Addition to the postponing of our gig in Siegen to the 24th of November, we also will be playing, to your surprise, two times in cologne within two days!

First show is our participation in the 2nd round of the Bodog Battle at the Prime Club in Cologne, on the 20th of November. If you really, really want to support us there (if you're crazy enough, please remember, we only play 20 minutes at best), you can preorder tickets, which will cost you €12.- by the way, by sending a mail to info [at] bettieford.de.

But what we really recommend is that you join us at the Sonic Ballroom, Cologne, two days later on the 22nd of November, where we will perform our normal and full set of songs.

More news to come,

Russia

Dear Friends,

so we are back from our tour through russia and what can we say?

It was awesome!

And of course it contained everything a rock tour through russia had to:
Kind and amazing people, vodka, russian night trains, a bomb threat, violent threats from skinhead, fantastic shows with an insane audience, beautiful girls, a swimming pool visit at night, sunny and warm weather and vodka, vodka, vodka again...

All of this and much more we'll tell you in our tour diary where we'll go into details! But at this point, we just want to say "Strastwutje" to all of you guys who made our journey so unforgettable and wonderful. First in line are Igor and Pavel, who organized everything and followed us with tender and loving care and also to all the other guys who did the shows and shared their rooms with us to refresh and regenerate, all the band we've played, then to Jule for being a great city guide in St. Petersburg and last but not least to all of the hundreds of crazy punkrock maniacs in Kirov, Moskau, St. Petersburg and Vladimir!

We will meet you all again next year!

Pistati,
Your Fords

Tomorrow morning we'll hit the road to get our flight to russia. As always, we will keep you updated on this adventurous journey in our tour diary.

Stay clean, Nastrowje, Your Fords
