Okay! Where do we begin... We know we've sucked on updating the blog the last few days but things have been sort of hectic. Some of us have been partying like hell, totally ignorant of our responsibilities and some just haven't been on top physically to do mental duty.

After the show in Plymouth, when the amazing crowd had been brutally forced out in the soaking night, super party action took place in the very little venue named White Rabbit.
Somebody came up with the great idea of doing arm-wrestling The Defiled vs. Deathstars band&crew. The bands and crews lined up in several different groups chanting ugha-ugha-ugha!
The mood was high and the level of alcohol consumed was almost catastrophic. After several rounds of the good ol' game of arm wrestling, the undefeated master was Micke CD, our superior soundman who beat everyone even though he is wrong (left) handed.
Since none of the bandmembers won this challenge Skinny suggested a strip-pole dancing challenge to regain some of his pride, it was easily won by the deathglammers. The Defiled had a good start with their keyboardist Alex hitting the pole in high spinning action, he made a great performance but in the end his performance could not be compared to the upside down spinning whirlwind done by Skinny or the double action spin sensation called Cat and Bone, who simultaneously were rotating sensually around the pole at different levels. A very erotic performance indeed. (A thumbs up for Skinnys thighs, they looked amazing!)
There was a video of it but unfortunately it was reported and deleted by YouTube with an explanation it consisted too much explicit material.

We woke up the bus around noon and had a full english breakfast outside in the sun at Skinners. Located just across the street of the Academy Venue. The sun made the thirst for a certain drink called beer grow even wilder and we found it impossible to resist the golden nectar. The band pretty much hung out there the for a few hours until we were called in for soundcheck. After the soundcheck Skinny, Micke CD, Whiplasher and Elin hit the James Bond type looking city for a walk and ended up at a local brewery where they served their own made ales and lagers. Very interesting. Nightmare was visited by Freya and Ogg who repaired his torn stage clothes, and then he made a few interviews and time was ticking on really quickly. Sooner than anyone could expect it was about time to get ready for the show. While Nightmare and Cat slowly started to get dressed for the show the door suddenly opens to the dressing room and in walks the super drunk Skinny Disco, so drunk he could hardly stand. What a night, when he later on was trying to walk up the stairs to the stage he had to be led by our guitartech Gump. Haha!

On Friday we played in Wrexham, north Wales. Everybody was quite trashed after previous nights and were looking for any glimpse of energy the whole day.
Cat was minding his own business at a photoshoot in some place we would like to call Way-too fucking-far-away Upon todays show.
Cat got stuck in traffic and the bandmembers had to do the first 3 songs without him. Quite an awkward but refreshing feeling.
After the show there was a massive party going on in the venue and all three bands were going mental. Whip, Elin, Night and Devilina who originally were too exhausted for the massive party went off to a find a more quieter place and ended up at the Horse and Jockey, a place that existed since the 1600's... It was karaoke night. See videos below!
After they experienced the amazing karakoe there they all decided that they were ready for the big party inside the venue
Bruised by too much headbanging and moshing the band members crawled into Madonna for some true blue baby sleep.

Saturday night fever.
Manchester is always a nice stop for this never ending machine. The band stumbled out of the bus one after the other with different diseases such as swollen lip, sore throat and hangovers.
Later in the afternoon our tattoo friend Leigh showed up with his gang and got the boys in a better mood.
The show went amazing and it was a sold out house.After the show some of the boys went to meet up with Aaron from My Dying Bride, some went to sing Karaoke and some even went to bed (...gay!).

Today the band has been busy doing tattoos with Leigh who we first met in Malmö when he filled Skinny's ear with a skull-tattoo. Fortunate enough he managed to borrow a chair at the nearby tattoo and piercing studio Design 4 LIfe here in Liverpool. The very nice manager of the studio made a "pentagram" on a very tormented but happy Bone W Machine's chest. Leigh was working in Cat with a "pair of cherries" on his ass (unfortunately he's too vain to show it) and Skinny got "Skinny Disco" on his hands.
