Something to Hold Onto Spring Tour Day 10



 Greetings from sunny Wiener Neustadt.
The three german shows with Authority Zero and What Else?! were amazing. AZ rule and we are

really waiting to meet them back in Athens! If u plan to tour Germany u should really try

booking Martin aka The Partyboy (you will find out why).
After ten hours of night driving yesterday we arrived safely at Prague. It was like summer

there and the city was awesome! We had a show at Chapeau Rouge a three stage club just in

the heart of Old City of Prague with 1st Choice. It was a really weird show, not so crowded

but with lots of stage invasions and people dancing to our tunes.
 Woke up and travelled to Wiener Neustadt. The venue is great,we will enjoy an open air punk

rock documentary,a bbq and the main party is our show with Soey, The Caves from Uk and

Spraynard  a band that George likes very much and you should check out their latest album.
Hope it will be a blast!!

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!

Something to Hold Onto Spring Tour Day 3


Hello everyone!

After a long trip from Thessaloniki yesterday, we're now in Kraljevo, Serbia and are staying at the office of Positive Youth where the people are great and very hospitable! Tonight we're playing our first show outside of Greece, at the Rock Club bounty with "Regulator".
We had a great time in Thessaloniki on Wednesday's show with Absent at Apyra Moria  and want to thank everyone who showed up. It was a great way to start our tour!


Until next time,
Orfeas

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!
