SKIP & DIE is hard, very hard, and that means for the band to be zero, zilch, nada rest going to get this year. It started in January when the Lower Afro-beat-electro band right after Eurosonic Noorderslag a month locked in Portugal hunter s thompson to escape hunter s thompson the cold and make music. In mid-February began the formation of a long, long tour of Europe whose end is not yet in sight. For summer festivals come into view the band found time to make a tour. 3voor12 report Limburg to Portugal and then by bus through Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and the Czech Republic. Friday they were in Paris, Saturday in Grenoble and this Sunday shut them Paaspop in Schijndel.
Overwhelmed by the huge tour schedule for the coming months we bought headlong bus. An old Mercedes from Limburg, who had served as invalidenbus. The wheelchair lift we tore out and we replaced them with a shot to keep. Backline in place After the first show in Belgium we drove through France en route to the south. hunter s thompson Very well an hour before the bus began to tremble and shake and the car next to us who were violently waving lights hunter s thompson and we thought, "hey, maybe there's something wrong." Turned left wheel almost be vibrated off. Three of the four bolts were broken and the wheel had too much slack to ride. So the rest of the day we stayed in forced Maresché, while the bus was being repaired. Death we were happy just dodge.
Creative retreat in Southern Europe Southern Portugal. Heavenly. A private studio in the sun. Growling cats, frogs croaking in abandoned pools and neighing horses included. We were in a house on the beach where we could find just a little searching. The right ingredients for a first caipirinha night Then it's obviously not stayed with one.
Madrid and Barcelona after a television show in Madrid on TVEspana and a live show in the middle of France, we drove through the mountains back to the south towards Barcelona. You know you're good when you are playing right on the Ramblas and the squares around it filled with flyers and hang posters of your own show. A mind-fuck, to put it mildly. Then you stand a while in disbelief: "huh That's us!" The venue we met our friends! Fashion Tu Madre!, A Spanish / Brazilian artists even more color and passion in our lives managed.
From sunny Portugal via Barcelona to snowy France From sun to snow and back again. From Portugal to Madrid, via Barcelona to Annecy, returned to Barcelona and then to Madrid. From one extreme to the other. Madrid again via Barcelona to Ax les Thermes, there to slipping to decline (death avoidance numero deux) to come out in a foot of snow on a festival called Garo snow off. Mountains without snow chains Cata.Pirata la Africana obviously had never seen so much snow and could not resist to eat as much as they opkon. We decided not to leave her to her fate and her greedy have helped.
Moulin Rouge The end of the first French part of our tour we played in a crowded Moulin Rouge in Paris. The crowd went wild (moshpit paradise!) And filled with all kinds of cocktails backstage made it the perfect ending to our first part of France. Cheers!
Czech à la Lynch And then you come in the Czech Republic and all of a sudden a David Lynch film. Received much weed offered fans that even we do not know what we had with it. After the show we split us each with different groups to go for themselves. New Czech friends along from Clubs full of pills pills, coke-snorting coke Russians, dark basement parties and too much (yes, there is surely something as much) vodka were the result. If valve was at six o'clock in the morning the taxi in which Rene was attacked by a huge bear of a guest. When the taxi driver responded within no time there was a kind of Czech thugs around against the taxi began pushing and yelling. Gave the old driver in sheer panic gas and managed through the group go to jobs. Way to safety This was followed by an insanely fast ride through the city with the necessary detours came to the hotel. Haha! We laugh in the face of Death! (Ah, but we are well into the afternoon Gino lost, oops).
Germany Before you go to sleep, plan your trip for the next day. How many miles you have to drive? What are the weather conditions? How many mountains do you encounter? In Germany there is an additional factor in: police checks. Four times in a week was a police car drive for us, "bitte folgen". Here you are on average three quarters of them sweet. Twice the bus was on the scale. And she '
