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.
