Tour bus diaries pt. 4

It’s been few days since I’ve write anything. A lot has happened and we’ve played shows in Budapest, Vienna, Zürich and Uster. 

On a way to Hungary we stopped on some gas station nearby city. Guys from Deep Insight were there too and they had football with them. Of course we need to take short football match there and have some fun beside of the shows. It so great to have days that you don’t need to be in a hurry. 

Next morning after Budapest show we head to Austria, Vienna. There we were also quite early so we had some time to explore the city. I took some time to hang out with my friend living there and guys get something to eat. After that we went to venue and put our stuff ready. DI arrived a ‘bit late and our sound check was just before doors opened. Everything went fine though and we had great show in Vienna. 

Next morning we get up early and started our journey to Switzerland. We had show at the venue called Dynamo in Zürich and it seemed to be great place to play rock music. Next day we had day off and they let us hang out in dynamo band flat so we stayed in Zürich another day. Our off day plan was to find a place where to watch FIN - CZE world championship ice hockey game. We found bar called Nelson where they told us that you could watch the game like “mixed” with SWE - USA game. You know, they will show part of the both games. Well… that was all that we could get. It was great time tough and we met some Finnish people living in Austria. And after the game that bar was full of Finnish ice hockey tourists coming from the arena. You can imagine how fun it’s to party with tens of Finnish people in foreign country. And more fun ‘cause Finland won that game!

Next day we had tiny hangover and we went to sit on the sun beside the river flowing outside Dynamo. There were only like 30 kilometers to the next venue in Uster so we just wanted to hang around a bit before doing anything. We arrived to venue quite early. We had info that we could get inside there somewhere around 4pm but the guy at the venue told us that we need to wait ‘till 6pm. So we had more free time and we went to explore the streets of Uster. The show itself was great and we we’re quite energetic on the stage. There’s definitely listeners for our music style in Switzerland. 

Now we’re on the way to Biel in Switzerland. We took some breakfast with the guys of DI and played guitar in the sun. Let see what happens today and you all are welcome to see the show!

And for the Finnish people: Hauskaa Vappua!
