A narrow tour

Apart from us being awsome and playing two fantastic gigs in Uppsala & Kungsbacka, the "tour" was a disaster..

In Uppsala, the arranger of the club Queen Victoria had double-booked us with a gayclub in the other part of the building. So we didn't get any promotion for the gig and there wasn't much of a crowd. The people being there though really enjoyed it. On top of that we got bad food and our singer got sick.

Kungsbacka, the "City" of good cops and bad people.
Likewise with the gig in Uppsala, the arranger was pathetic. If she wouldn't have been a girl I tell you, there'd been a fight. She didn't know where we were spending the night, she made us get lost by not having good directions to where the club was and then telling us that we were late.. The place was complitely empty because there had been no promotion here either..... AND they kicked out part of the crowd because they had a couple of beers before they got there... The only good thing that happend in Kungsbacka was the two cops who didn't fine us for being to many people in the car and no one of us using seatbelt. Thank's officer!

Note to self/other bands: Never say yes to a gig in Kungsbacka. Especially if the arranger's name is Marie. It's a bad idea.

The shortest tour ever made

Tomorrow we are going almost 100 miles to Uppsala and Queen Victoria Pub. We are going to play a great show with a really amazing set-list! And if the crowd is good and stoked, we will never stop to play!

Saturday we will go from Uppsala to Kungsbacka in Göteborg, about 80 miles, to play at The Tube Stage! There will be three other bands playing the same night so we will probably not be able to play the same full set-list there. Hopefully the clubs have spread the word about us well aswell as our friends coming there to see us!

We will bring our own full backline, mics, dums and everything for these two gigs so hopefully nothing will break!

ROCK N' RÓI!
