victims. Sometimes he claimed to be a member of Coldplay or
Culture Beat. And now it comes:
'His most common ruse, however, involved posing as
Belgian singer songwriter Milow' Can you believe this? Does this
mean I'm a famous rock star now? Here's the full article "

seven countries in 25 days. These are the

Luxemburg (for the first time ever), Belgium, The Netherlands (the last
Dutch club concerts with this album), Austria (first club concerts),
Switzerland (where we'll also play 1 radio event and 1 tv-show), Italy (2
introduction concerts), and we end the tour in Finland. I'm looking forward
to seeing you at one of these gigs. see ya, Jonathan"

"Sooo much has happened in the last couple of months, but sooo little time
to write about it here. I'll try to catch up. On August 15 we performed at
a big festival in Switzerland: Open Air Gampel. On the way
over there we had a problem with our tourbus (again!). The
drivers got lost and the bus got stuck in a very narrow turn in the
mountains, in the middle of some vineyards (apparently, we were not the
only ones who got lost, read about it here).
Result: the engine broke down while trying to manoeuvre its way out of
there, and we had to be picked up by minivans of the festival to make it in
time to the festival. A couple of pictures that I took while
waiting:"
