Good morning! Yesterday was brilliant. The show was really good but the gothic party afterwards was just pure brilliance. Not for all perhaps but at least for some. It's 11 in the morning, I just came downstairs and found drum tech Antsa sleeping on the floor with his face on the couch. Funny. The venue was converted to one huge gothic party after our show. We perhaps didn't fit the crowd that well but at least we were drunk and had the first official bassist meeting of the tour. They had built some metal cages where people could go and dance. we were all there. The bassists I mean. I hope someone took pictures.
Our show was nice. We're getting tighter and tighter all the time. That's good. Again we'll be at our best when the tour ends. We have been forced to change the set list rotation already a few times. The "drum set" including the songs Jonne is on djembe can not be done at all venues with smaller stages so it has been skipped a few times. Then again we did that set yesterday and added Crows Bring The Spring from another set just because it is such a nice song to play and we were on the mood for that.
Wine club meeting starts now. Bye.
Some truck park near Amsterdam at 11. No other club member up so I have time to write something. Melkweg, the venue for today, is really nice. The only drawback is that it's located in the city centre and we can't park the buses there. Get in time is at 1 so we're basically just waiting for that. And it's snowing. No long walks today, I guess. The bus is really crowded as well, since we have a film crew joining us for a couple of days.
Yesterday's venue was once again Biebop in Vosselaar. We've been there a few times before and managed to sold it out alone so we were definitely packing it yesterday as well. I have mixed feelings about the venue. The atmosphere and audience are always brilliant, but technically the venue sucks. First of all you can get to the backstage only through the stage. The backstage smells really bad and it's hard for me to breathe in there. You are not allowed to shit in the toilet backstage since it will block it. From the shower you could only get water that was described as "the coldest in the world." Which of course suited well the fact that we caked Matson after the show. It was his birthday and it seemed approriate to cake him. After the last song during the band introduction Jonne hit a cake in his face. Maybe cake was too big or his face too small but anyway some of the cake missed his face and hit both monitor desks, ours and the venues. Either of the Monitorihomo's was not that delighted.
We are about to start filming some parts for their movie now. I'll go.
