Yes, that's right! A really awesome Friday gone by. Was so nice to hang out with Astpai after a while, to see the guys from You Know?! (too bad the band is not around anymore, they were ace) and just have plain old punk fun. We were forced out of the backstage and spent the rest of the night in the YK rehearsal space, debating with a bottle of Jim Beam (or was it Captain Morgan?Hmmm...). Thank you to the great promoters of the festival, great bands, awesome crowd and the great dudes at Astpai. We love you.
Next week we have three shows!!! Check us out playing 2 shows with Death By Stereo - on the 22nd of June (Wednesday) we're playing in Millstatt in Carinthia in Austria and on the 23rd (Thursday) we're gonna play at Gromka, Metelkova Mesto in Ljubljana. On Friday we have a show coming up in Ribnica and we're madly excited to see our punk family from Golliwog again at the Štreka Fest! There are some new festivals confirmed for early July and we're working hard on filling the dates for the Balkan tour starting in the middle of August. We're also working hard on getting over to the states, we're gonna have a nice little tour on the East coast going down to THE FEST together with HIS DAY HAS COME (so glad I got in touch with those guys, they are like the sweetest guys ever).
So, see some of you next week, I hope you have fun this weekend, we surely will. It's hometown blues this weekend, I am going to see Gornja Radgona's first ever movie: Opel B Kadett 72 Check out the trailer:
This was by far one of the best weekends we've spent in Slovenia in a long time. First of all, we had (too) much fun on our rehearsing friday in Vrhnika. Constructive rehearsals, bottles of booze, 3 skids of the apocalypse sweating their asses off, creating new stuff. It was really, really cool.
The next day, a bit hungover but still full of enthusiasm we went on the road to Maribor. We haven't played a club gig in Maribor for at least 4 or 5 years. It was so nice to see all the familiar faces, the guys we have been growing up with in the slovenian punk rock scene. It's been a long while. It was a pleasure to see that the boys and girl from Strike A Fire are doing an amazing job. Sounds like they're having a lot of fun in the new line up, playing fast, tight and interesting. Big thumbs up! It was so nice to see that we've got a solid following in our hometown as well. There were 5-6 cars from our hometown and it was really nice to see them sing along and enjoy themselves. I am glad to see that the "scene" is still alive and kicking and that people don't give up that easy. We had a good show and had a nice after party, needles to say we all came home when it was bright. This week we are going to play in Austria again, in Attnag at the Pfingsspektakel together with Dog Eat Dog (say "Isms" everyone) and the ever inspiring Astpai. So it's gonna be hugs, high fives and stage dives again. See you on friday! Yours truly,
