MAGRUDERGRIND TOUR FIN/ COKE BUST TOUR START!
So after all of that we fucking miss Seein Red and most of Extortion! We literally got there right as extortion was finishing their last 2 songs. We had to load in immediately and start setting up. I think the given stress of the situation we blazed through our set. People actually went off and it ended up being pretty awesome. Truthfully i was nervous to play with Seein Red to begin with let alone playing after them and us being late blah blah blah. We met the guys in the bands and they were both very cool. Australian slang "mad cutter" = awesome. Also our home girl Anna Vo from Australia/Germany/London/everywhere came out. Ronald the promoter was also a solid dude. The show was in the middle fo the red light district, so there was a million people everywhere. Our show slowly turned into a soul funk hip hop dj night. They were playing some boogie down productions as we were leaving. We left RJ and Avi at the club while we went to go to the sleeping spot This lady named Bianca helped out with the show and took us to her place to eat some food. She lives with/date Marco from vitamin x. Also the singer from lets grow was staying there.
Nico went back into the city to party with avi and rj while we stayed behind and ate food and hung out at her apartment. Good end to a crazy day.
10/8/10...Mulheim, Germany @ AZ Mulheim w/Brick Throw
We woke up and went to this guy named Noel's house where Jubert, Jeff, RJ, Avi, and Nico stayed at and ate breakfast. RJ was dropped off at the airport earlier in the morning. We all walked around the city for a few hours before heading out. Bought some stupid postcards, walked through the red light district, etc. We got a little lost on the way back to the van and when we found it there was a bolt in the tire. We dropped off avi at this hotel and left the city. About an hour outside of the city we stopped at a gas station and pulled out the bolt and proceded to fill up the tire with that foam that fills up leaks. Big mistake. Didnt work at all (the next day nico found out that we should of left the bolt in and let the foam sit for 10 minutes). To top it all off the bolts on the tire were put on with a machine and were nearly impossible to take off with a this wimpy wrench. So we called a tow truck guy to take off the wheel and then we replaced it with the spare.
Eventually we got to Mulheim. I saw my main man Yoshi there and Laura from Flex Your Milkshake Zine. Jan from AZ mulheim (who ive met a million times before) was there holding down the show. We had an awesome time playing. Nick got a bunch of german phrases translated including one that was "our drummer smells like shit". Thanks buddy. For the record i might smell bad after i play but i probably take more showers than theses krum bums on tour. So, suck it. After the show we had to drive to Nico's place in Hesdin, France (4 hrs away).
More TBA.
P.S. here are links to some pictures this far. The first link i posted earlier didn't work for some reason so here are both of them.
