ebensee - april 17th
waking up in neustadt. going to the rehearsal room.
trying to get the backline into the van.
not enough space - as expected. phone call.
we get a trailer for the backline.
getting the backline out of the van.
phone call again. we do NOT get a trailer for the backline.
loading the backline into the van and my car.
van goes straight to the first show in ebensee and my car is going to vienna.
getting a part of the backline out of my car
loading the backline into georg's bus.
we're playing a nice show in ebensee but we're already too late to play the show in schwanenstadt which is a real bummer.
although just a few people show up, the show turns out to be really nice.
we're trying to find a company, where we could rent a trailer, have a meal and going to bed. thanks to andi for setting up the show and offering us a place to stay.
geneva (ch) 18th
we're leaving andi's place at 8 o' clock, trying to rent a trailer and had some luck for once, as we got the last available trailer which can be driven by just having a B-driving-license. the only problem is that isn't a closed one, so we can't leave anything in the trailer. we're heading to geneva around 10 and finally arrive at tiki's pub at. many bands we like played there before(flatliners, rentokill, dead to me, in-sane, caves, pj bond and on and on and on...). rüfi is also there. the shows are ok, except martin had some serious problems with his pedal board and my voice is in really bad shape.
we pack our stuff and drive to the sleeping place and get the backline out of the trailer. it turns out that we have to share the room with some sleeping strangers(which doesn't have to be necessarily a bad thing), nevertheless most of us are exhausted as fuck and fall asleep in a few seconds.
luxemberg april 19th
we get up at 10 o' clock having a coffee at lukes' place(thanks for everything) and heading to luxemburg. driving more than 8 hours(again). we have to pay 54€ fee for just driving 4 hours on the french motorway. we finally arrive luxemburg, which turns out to be a beautiful city. we're playing second of four bands. the promoter tells us not to animate people to jump, because the venue is on the second floor. it's brackets closed best show so far. especially bernhard did a good job this time!
after the brackets closed set we decide to cancel the show in marks' house. but we can't effort paying another 50€ fee to get the paris and another 50€ to get belgium again, which is a real shame!!! (sry mark, can't wait to see you again)
we don't have a place to sleep in luxemburg and plan to go straight to belgium that night. just a few hours before we leave a girl asks martin and me if we already have a place to sleep. that moment all 9 of us fall in love with her. natacha is her name and she's awesome!!! (!!!). we stay at her house and we're having a sauna(believe it or not). the "chaos tour" turns into the "nervous breakdown tour" and now finally... WELLNESS TOUR! also having the first shower within 3 days and going to bed with a big smile!
day off - leiden (nl) - april 20th
we get up around 11 o' clock. i cook some chili con tofu for us and our lovely host natacha. we decide to drive to the netherlands, because our friends from ASTPAI are playing there. belgium can be a strange place. a cow takes a walk on the motorway. did i ever mention that belgium is a strange place?
we arrive leiden in time... at least soon enough to hear two astpai songs. we also have the chance to play an acoustic set. really makes my day.
i'm going to sleep in our van tonight... so long, over and out.
love
cis
