we were in canada, montreal when we first heard about
the big upheaval in the german musicpress concerning the
release of our debut.
we were touring clubs, cafés and german schools.
we were rainbirds...ahh, from berlin? berlin texas? yeah. right.
we met a woman named rainbird.
we spoke of aztec nomads.
for me rainbirds is just that and everything else in the
instrumental by tom waits on his swordfishtrombones album.
we were asked to return to berlin and start being popstars.
we didn't have had a clue.
