About time!!!


We've had a hectic week... with lots of travel and no internet access. We celebrated Björns birthday at the Frontline in Gent were we played with our good friends in Verify again. Björn got a big plate of belgian beer as a birthdaygift from Arne the organizer. Too bad he forgot almost all of them at the venue... After the gig in Gent we drove down to Lille in France. Nice venue and great show! Since it was our first time in France we didn't know what do expect but the response was overwelming! The crowd was pretty big and a whole lot of them seemed to know all of our lyrics, singing along most of the time. Big thanks to the organizer and Maidenhair Tree! France will defenitly see more of us in the future.
Thursday started with a early trip to Calais were we took the ferry over to Dover, England and then driving another 4 hours to Weymouth. Weymouth is a really nice town located at Englands southern coast, and for us northbound Scandinavians it was really nice to get to see some beaches and sunshine. We also celebrated Jonas "Into the Wild" Liljas birthday and visited some ammusement centres. Thanks to Josh for hooking us up with the gig and the opportunity to see England for the first time.
After a few ours of sleep we got up early (again) to drive back to Dover, the ferry and the mainland. Once again we hooked up with Verify, Daggers and a few more bands for a show in Lommel, Belgium. Nice to see Daggers again at a proper venue, as the show in the rehearsalroom in Brussels more felt like torture in a sauna (or maybe that was the point..?). Anyway, the gig was great, the crowd was great and the organizers were great. Thanks Belgium!

Tip of the day: check out Daggers from Belgium. They rule.

The blogg from Brussels

Yesterdays gig was in a tiny rehearsalroom not bigger than our own. The place was packed and the atmosphere was on top! Big thanks to I For Us records that were there and took great care of us (they're the ones releasing Heartland in BeNeLux). This is our first time in Belgium and so far everything has been great. Looking forward to the tonights show at the Frontline in Gent, but first we're gonna check out Brussels and celebrate Bjorns 25th birthday!

The shit in the van



Today we got dogshit in the van. Someone stepped in a pile of dogshit and then went walk-o-rama in the van, Yay! Other than that we just had a great show @ the Stö in Leipzig, and yesterdays show in Rostock went really good as well (exept from the opening act that had an three (3!!!) hour soundcheck). So far everything has been great, and we´re so looking forward to see Brussels tomorrow!

Norrköping vs Rostock



Hello friends! Here´s the Bofinkle packing the van. He has not yet mastered the A course in packing, according to Zorken aka the packmaster...
Rigth now we are at the venue in Rostock. Yesterday we did our first show on the tour in Norrköping, and it was really fun to play there again and meet all the awesome people. We´d like to thank everyone that showed up and to the guys that organized the show!!


PS. rumour has it that Olle Johansson from Children Of Fall/Serene has moved to Norrköping and evidently dropped the X.
AJABAJA OLLE!

TOUR!

Hey Everyone! Some thoughts before we head out on the road again...
So everything feels pretty nice for the moment. We had a last rehearsal tonight together with Rikard from Gadget before we take off. He´s gonna be the stand-in guitar player for this one.
It feels really awesome to go on tour again and to play in countries we´ve never been to before!
See you at the shows:
