Like the desert miss the rain


For the first time we were on time! We arrived at DesertFest venue (Astra), where Beth & Matte welcomed us. We got our passes and stuff and then we had a really awesome backstage breakfast! We loaded-in amps and cabinets, we soundchecked and we were about to rock.. But noone of us expected this epic headbanging awesomeness.. 


This was a TRUE BLAST! The venue was packed, the hiliomodian space fuzz was heavy and loud and everyone had a great time! This was the best way to end up the tour. We were all so happy and ready to enjoy the festival. We had a great backstage area, where we had the chance to meet some of our stoner rock heroes. 




The festival also provided a great chillout – food – merch area, where we hanged out with our friends from Greece (cheers to them!). We also saw the performance of Fatso Jetson, Yawning Man, My Sleeping Karma, Kadavar and Orchid! Good times! Cheers to DesertFest! We will definitely come back for more!

After some moshpit accidents, we went back to the hotel to get a proper sleep. Next morning, we had a doner – club matte breakfast and got back to the van. The guys dropped me at Orestis' place in Berlin and began their HUGE trip back to Greece. I miss them already! I' d really like to thank Dani, Gianni, Giorgo, Labro and Mitso for this experience. ROAD TO BURN!

Le van superbe attend pour toi bébé!


Correct answer is b. ! We woke up on time, but due to some traffic we didn’t catch the ferry we have booked, so we were a little bit late. Driving in UK roads was a real ntrala but we eventually made it to London! Black Heart was a really nice rock pub. A lot of people showed up earlier, having beers on the street in front of the club. We met  a lot of guys from Greece too. We really thank them for the support! During the gig, people were really excited, Danis had 100% regained his powers, so 1000mods were really rockin’…


After the show, we decided to sleep inside the van. We stopped at a parking, where some kind of transaction took place next to us! We obviously overslept so next day was a real mess. We had to go at a camper’s stop in order to charge the van, unload the waste and have some breakfast. But, we were really late for the ferry so we had to buy another ticket (D’oh!) After 2 hours in the sea, we arrived in France and we began our big road trip to Berlin (900km). 


We drove through France, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany. This was a really tough one, cause we had to drive until 08:00 in the morning. We also had some problems with the van, due to bad french oil. It was time for all of us to rest and get ready to rock DesertFest!
