Tour Bus Diaries pt. 2

Yesterday we had our first gig of this tour. Day started quite nicely after 8 hour sleep, relaxing and couple of beers last night. When I woke up I headed to Vince’s hotel room and there he was cutting Markku’s hair and beard. Our technician have now a brand new look taken from Lemmy Kilmister. 

When we left from hotel room we went straight to our venue and parked our car there. We had enough time to do some shopping and finally we found ourselves drinking beer outside some local bar. Sun was shining and we had great time to hang out in Berlin.

When it was time to load in our equipment to venue, everything happened quite fast. We met some of the guys from Deep Insight for the first time and get to know each other. Great guys and we already had great time during load in and sound check. We decided to use my drums there and DI’s guitar and bass cabinets to make things work out faster in change between bands. Markku liked my new higher pitch drum tune and it was easy to mix the sound because of that. 

Around 9:45 pm was our time to jump on the stage. It was very hot to play there and I think it was hot in audience too. We mixed up our new and old songs in our setlist and I think it worked pretty well. Maybe same setlist today or chancing one or two songs. Let see. We don’t usually plan these things =)

Now we’re sitting in our car and heading to Hamburg. There’s 20,5 degrees of Celsius outside and no clouds in sight. Let what happens today and where we’ll find ourselves tomorrow. If you happen to be in Hamburg you’re more than welcome to see the show. CU there!
