This here is a VW Sprinter, The Bang Bus or "home". That's where me, Jony(pic), Anthon and Sammye spent two weeks while we rode trough various euro-countries playin' shows in pretty much all of them. A Sprinter is...well cozy enough even for four guys for such a long time but we had to fit a few extra members as well.
Some of You might recodnize this charming character from behind the mixing table at our live shows. You can call him Markku. We call him a bunch of names but I don't think he'd appreciate me writing them here.
Say hi to our driver Jusu. It was his first time driving round rock hippies, but he managed to keep his sanity. Jusu also did a fantastic job with selling our merchandise.
And finally, this is Niina, or "Mami" as the crew called her. She took care of our daily routines but also managed to fit in a jäger or two.
We tried to use our time in the car wisely, so often one of us was trying to put their hair in order...
...alltough it did go horribly wrong while driving on the bumpy roads in Poland. (Poodle, Hah!)
Ahhh, good Ol' Sammye! He was very popular with the females over there in Central Europe. Perhpaps it's his way with (german) words that gets the fans all worked up. He did more authographs and is now featured in more MySpace profile pictures than the rest of us.
Usually after the shows I was soaking wet and totally beat. You should've seen the bruises on my feet after all that mic stand kickin' and knee droppin'!But me and the bro, we had a little secret...
Are you sure that's Lovex and not White Flame?
Or is this Lovex?
Now THIS is White Flame!!
Oh yes! Miss You we will!! It was a long and exhausting journey but we had
Cool shows(I'm in the crowd BTW)...
...tasty and nutricious food and drink...
...new (and improved) frindships..
... and even reuniting some siblings. All in all that was time well spent. After two weeks of constant travelling and doing shows it was time to head on home. But first we got some packin' to do since half of our stuff had been riding in the Lovex bus.
You got that last piece? Good, let's go home now?
PHEW! What a ride! Have as back real soon now! For pictures that actually include me(and maybe the others too), go to Myspace and check out pics sent in by all of You wonderful Flames and Flamettes!
Cheers! Vince
