Due to problems with getting online yesterday we missed posting a blog. We’ll continue where we ended; after the gig in Budapest.
Hungary was cool, just a shame that the band had to leave straight after the show because of the long travel.We had a good time backstage as well, and Attila from Mayhem/Tormentor was there in a good mood, partying with the dudes. Whiplasher got furious over some stupid chick in the dressingroom and threw drinks all over the place, but the room was soon at peace again. Yesterday Skinny and Whip went to bed at noon after partying until disabled all night. And the day after they were 100% handicapped, physically and mentally – and they enjoyed it, well maybe not Whip that much since he was walking around like a subtraction mark on the wet German soil. Skinny was in good shape though, so good that extent that he continued until 6 this morning. He is an animal. A party animal al dente from the outer tropical clubregions of Partyland. Other partypeople can’t even get seats in the discohouse of Skinny. He is mad. Mad about drinks! He is the landlord of nightlife. He has the party-passport and is an businessclass globetrotter with a mission to celebrate. He is Lord of the Drinks and his religion is called ”Wasted”. He is the actual represantative and sole diplomat of human megapartying. And he is partying even now. As always. Skinny spells P.A.R.T.Y. And we love him for it. Party on, dude. Have a good one.
Ludwigsburg was also a really cool place with nice staff and a great crowd, and today we are in Pratteln, at Z7, where we’ve been several times before. Z7 is a good venue for a band. Great showers, washing machine, great staff, good sound and an even better looking crowd. This makes Cat nervous since the focus isn’t totally on him. We like it here, only problem is that it’s too far to a 7-11, this Z7, yet close to heaven – venuewise. Why can’t all clubs on this tour be like this? We’ll tell you why – because they are different. At least we have an IKEA around the corner. Good, because we need a new dinnertable, some wardrobes and a huge bathtub for the tourbus. Bone is a tremendous IKEA fan by the way, quote: ”I am very nervous when my girlfriend visits IKEA. IKEA is for her what a bar is for me. ”
And about our tourbus, Dante: Whip has tremendous problems with sleeping on Dante and is therefor tired like never before. Whip actually has a beef with Dante and the two of them doesn’t agree on much these days, except from that they hate each other. A rumour from different european Rotary-clubs says that Whip has put a price on Dante’s head, that the contract is out there. Who knows – today the whole trailer broke. Has the sabotages and raids of terror commenced? Maybe this conflict will escalate to a nightmare for the touring parties and crew..? Maybe a political issue in EU. Forget Palestine. Forget Sudan. Fotget Chetchnya. This is the ultimate war. Whip vs Dante. Choose your side. But choose wisely, or you may perish in the flames of loss.
An uplifting thing though is that we just read that Night Electric Night is nr 67 on the European Billboard Charts, which is pretty good we have to say. At least better than nr 68. On Indie Charts in UK the album is nr 21, from being nr 19 last week.
What the members are doing right now:
• Skinny just woke up and is continuing to party.
• Bone is trying to convince the band that he will have two sober days in a row, and nobody believes him.
• Nightmare is daydreaming about nightmares on tour and discusses this with the tourmanager Anthony..
• Cat is eating rabarberpaj and is being the clown of the day – he is everywhere, but mostly stationed at the washingmachine, following the orders of the band, Mission: folding the bands clean clothes. Women do laundry. Men do nothing. But don’t tell anyone, because the whole band has to do laundry all the time.
• Whip is hanging out with our totally crazy soundguy from the Korn-tour, Thomas, who lives in the area.
