Something to Hold Onto Spring Tour Day 18



 Greetings from Slovenia!
We just arrived at Koper and getting ready for the very last show of this tour.


Our day off at lovely Neustadt couldn't be better. We had a BBQ at Stephie's famous yard with Despite Everything and many locals who made us feel more than welcome. Spent our day chilling in the sun but Manouras couldnt ease his hunger for football proving he is a real goalkeeping monster! (Ask Billy and Zahos from Despite about that). The next day, after a small drive to Graz and two (!) stops from the local  police, we arrived to Sub Club. Really warm place, great backstage meal by Thom from Ants! and another show with Despite Everything, Tag Tear Rebuild and our favourite British guy Jack Holmes. There were more people than expected,we had a very good time during the show and are really sad to leave our beloved Austria. We will be back for sure!


On this tour everybody kept telling us how difficult it would be to cross the Croatian borders. Well it only took us 2 minutes,how cool guys are we? Next stop was Zagreb and Route 66 club. Awesome place with a big yard and packed from the hour we arrived. Zoran our Croatian host was incredible. We were treated like kings and the hotel room was a real shock for us. Despite a mini electricity black out in the middle of the show everything went well.
 Quick coffee at out hotel room,packing up and Slovenia here we are!! We have weird feelings seeing this tour coming to an end and we will dedicate an update for our tour summary for sure. But until then, we have another show tonight!

Cheers!!

Something to Hold Onto Spring Tour Day 8


Kraljevo

 Our Serbian part of the tour is over.We couldn't imagine a better start than a fully packed show in Kraljevo with Regulator. The crowd was amazing, stage diving and dancing went on all night long (we had our first 3 encores in a row (!) ). Voijkan and Nicolas' hospitality was amazing and we really enjoyed their meals and their tour through the town and Kraljevo's river.

Zrenjanin

  Next stop was Zrenjanin where Milos from All Except One and the rest of the Victims of Society crew made us feel like home. We had a couple of beers (ok we had a lot) before the show and really loved Milos' Serbian rakje. Orfeas stole the show during the after party performing his famous dance moves. Milos' drinks are still keeping us alive during our tour :)

Novi Sad
Our last show of the mini Serbian tour was at the wonderful city of Novi Sad. Bojan and Wolf from the Rebuild Collective are the best guys ever! After a tour at the city's old fortress and a great vegetarian meal by Njanja we wad a really good show with Fast As We Go Far and Lilla Horea and then a great time at the Black Sheep! (local underground bar) with a huge collection of vinyls.
 In the morning  Asteris and Panos had a nice meeting with the local authorities and after 11 hours of driving we arrived in Germany.

Last night we had our first gig in Germany (Koblenz). It was a great experience sharing the stage with Authority Zero, What Else!? and Society Off.We offered them some Ouzo and they really enjoyed it! In a few hours we'll be in Frankfurt for our next show.

 Cheers!

See you on the road!

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since our last post but we've been very busy,getting ready for our European Tour.
First of all we want to thank everyone who made it to our release show, we had a great time!
Special thanks goes to the bands Bandage and Bad Bid that were there with us and the DJs WAK, Panos and RockNRolla for the all-night party that followed the show!

Tomorrow we're leaving Greece as a band for the first time. Words can't explain how great we feel about it! If all goes well, we'll be back in May for a show with Authority Zero in Athens.

Until then you can listen to our album on our new bandcamp page.
And if you want a break from that, you might want to check out a great punk rock compilation called “Fucking The Nation Every Day vol.2” which features our song “Clinic”. The guys at punkrockers-radio.de did a fantastic job putting this together and we are honoured to be part of it!

While on tour, we'll try to post updates on our blog as often as possible so stay tuned!

See you on the road!
