I thought that the gig at Kantis was our best one ever, but this one was even better and this time everything was just perfect in the backstage area too. For the first time ever we even got our own dressing room and all the other things that are just normal everyday stuff for real rock stars, but definitely not for us. We are just a bunch of guys who just happen to play in a band, not rock stars... It felt very strange for a while, but I could definitely get used to actually feeling comfortable before going onstage. This must have been an exception! Anyway, the soundcheck was good and we really managed to get a good sound. When Hateform and URN were doing their soundcheck after us there was some problems with the PA and in the end our sound was definitely not too good after all that! Something went wrong there. But that's show business, as they say... anyway, our showtime came and we just made our horrible noise the best we could. It was a good audience once again (there was ca. 200 people there) and once again we got some chaos going on right in front of us. Actually there was even our first ever real moshpit going for a while during the show. Fucking great. Towards the end of the set I started to have some problems with my gear but that was solved rather quickly (with the help of the great staff at Gloria - HAIL!). We also almost fucked up The Angel Of Cancer And Plague completely 'cause for some reason everyone got a bit lost with that one. In the end we managed to hold the fucking song together. Sort of. But whatfuckingever. After the show was over it was just business as usual - getting drunk and acting really stupid. Thanks to MC Mökä, Gloria, URN, Must Missa and Hateform. This was a night to remember - if I could only remember everything... Demon Alcohol has stolen some of my fucking memories! (OK, I do remember stuff like a seriously expensive bottle of vodka, a member of SD (identity withheld) breaking stuff on the street in front of the club, Estonian beer, some "fighting", lots of laughter after all the stupid "fighting" - nothing unusual, really!)
