The Dopes are calling it a day! The Dopes would like to thank Editor Bob and all the Toytowners who showed their heads at our gigs over the past couple of years and for Toytown supporting our advertising during this time. We have played some fun ones and some crazy ones and also plenty of shit gigs which go with the territory of playing pub circuits. We have also played some massive gigs which seem to have landed in our laps somehow here and outside of munich and last Saturday we finished up with the biggest. We played the Schrobenhausen Summer fest again.
Some notable gigs have been at the Euro during the octoberfest last year, the last two Aussie days at the
Shamrock have been massive. A couple of big ones at
Kilians and Neds a while ago. The long night of music a month ago was a belter in the Shamrock as well. We have met some cool musicians such as
Jeffrey Hayes who opened up for us on many occasions at the Euro and the Shamrock.
Zane Charron who opened and then jammed with us at the Euro who is well known on Toytown as well. It was great to meet new musicians and get to jam with them live.
The last people to thank are Troy and Jacko, we had a few laughs and some mad times. We have opened pubs and closed them, smashed loads of equipment played free gigs for mates, raised money for sports clubs played outdoor festivals whilst always screaming our guts out and managed to storm through places as if we created em. You gotta laugh. I am sure you will see Troy Jacko or myself in different line ups in and around munich before too long.
Thanks and hooroo
