Lindau

Lindau, 18th of November

Hey guys,

We're on day three of the tour. So far we've played in Ludwigsburg(DE) and Vosselaar(BE). The first two gigs have gone great. It's a tour, so there'll obviously be small hick-ups along the way, but all in all everything has been going great. We've been averaging about 700 km a day so far, but the next four days we're going to be driving much less which will give us time to enjoy the other bands' sets and have a few beers.

The Ludwigsburg gig was special, it was our first ever gig outside The Faroe Islands and Iceland. The show got delayed for about 30 minutes because the turn-up wasn't great, but when we started playing there were loads of people. After the show we just relaxed, had a few beers and saw the other bands. We're privileged to be on this tour with these fantastic bands, and all of them appear to be really cool people to hang out with as well. So we couldn't be happier.

We played in Vosselaar(BE) yesterday and it was a bit more hectic. We drove 770 km to our venue today, so we had to load out all our stuff from the venue straight after our show so that we could get some sleep before the long drive. The gig went well though, we had a decent turnout and we played ok. We stayed the night in Antwerp, which was pretty special for me personally since I grew up there and haven't been there for about 12 years. We were lucky enough to get a hostel 500 m from Groenplaats, so we went out and had one or two Belgian beers and some food. This is my personal opinion and not necessarily the opinion of the band, but the food and beer in Belgium is in a different league to that in the Nordic countries. Like Samuel L. Jackson said, it's the little differences :)

Right now we're in Lindau(DE). It's the biggest venue that we've played so far, our hostel is walking distance from the venue and we're only driving 150 km tomorrow. So I'm gonna stop writing and find something fun to do. :) We've just had our soundcheck and it's sounding amazing so I can't wait for the gig!

Until next time,

Theodor
