Mind your head

Bratislavian messaround |
In Wien, I had a
mind-your-head accident 5 minutes before the show.. All vultures got anxious
because of the bloodbath! They nursed me right and they were about to rock.
Ever since I have a major problem in concentration and writing. So from this
moment this blog will turn more into a photoblog...

Μέσιν αράουντ, γκραπ σομ μπίαρ / Messing around, grab some beer
The omnivorous predators took their seats inside
the van. Sharpened claws and teeth (some rotten and false), ready to devour and
to plunder the continent. Heavy load.
First act: Sofia. Eyes that shine for the first
soundcheck. Pizza, beer, sweat and fuzz! And then the same awful burgers.
Cement in the stomach before bedtime. Snoring Mitsos now exceeds imagination.
The dB tend to infinity!
The next day, as always latecomers, we arrived
in Bucharest. Pizza once more and a
barrel of Jack, on the house of the label. Methadone Skies were awesome! After
the gig we had a crazy spree in an indoor skatepark, without boards, but with
many falls and injuries. Then, the young vultures rested in a beautiful and
quiet hostel before starting the endless journey on the scenic Cluj-Napoca. The
Shelter was packed and Yannaras pierced the stage like last year!!
After the gig, it was all about messing around,
grab some beer..

The next morning, the vultures began their trip
to Timisoara. Flavius and Methadone Skies welcomed us and made sure we do
not miss anything. The gig was in a small club, like a small and dark
underground passage. Having succeeded once again to fit things in our supervan,
Flavius took us to the most perfect hostel with a turntable-living room and a
dreamy garden for messing around.. Sleep, snoring and waking up for the first
day-off: grab some coffee at the garden, eat some tostinos and back to the van for
Bratislava!
Lots of thanxx to Panos, Nelly & Elias!

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!

Darmstadt uber alles
Darmstadt was uber chillin’ & uber kool! No gig, no worries, just a quick “rehearsal” and a giant omelette. We even had the time for a short morning walk, before we hit the road to Koln ( Tue 23/4).
After 2,5
hours we arrived at Sonic Ballroom, a really small club covered up with tons of
stickers! There, we joined forced with Planet of Zeus! The club had a great upstage area where we
ate kind of german briam with broccoli, cheese & bacon! Great!
All the
Kolnians seemed to dig the Hiliomodian riffage and they were really friendly
with us. Planet of Zeus rocked the place too! After the show we had some beers
at the club and then we went upstairs to get some sleep. Next day we had to
rock Utrecht too, so we began our trip after a short stop at a really, really,
really BIG music store! This place was like heaven. We could stay there
forever…
London was
our next stop, so we had to wake up at 6.30 in order to catch the ferry
(Calais-Dover) and be on time. What do you think that happened??
a. We were on time
b. We were late so we did no proper
soundcheck
c. We were so late, that we didn’t play
d. We cancelled London and stayed at
Utrecht forever
Post a
comment with your vote and win a 1000mods Tshirt!
We still
need to unload the toilet of the van.
