Tour Postcards May 2013

May 21, 2013

It rained A LOT on this tour of the Basque, and I was totally overestimating the weather when I packed my bikini.  Not only did I not get it out of my bag once, but I think I spent the entire tour wearing nearly every single item of clothing that I brought with me, all at the same time.  I was like a little eskimo.  We had some great shows, and some time to see the sights as it wasn’t far to drive between them.  We are kind of planning to go back later in the year, but with Alessio next time.  I loved Bilbao and the coast around there, and the drive from Urretxu to Lleida was absolutely incredible.  I would like to do that again with more time to stop and take photos.

On the road to Basque

May 6, 2013 — Leave a comment

This week we are heading towards Spain, but as my lovely Spanish friends corrected me, we can’t call it a “Spain Tour” but a Basque and Catalonia tour.  Very well!  We did a couple of shows in the Basque region way back in November 2011 where we played and slept in a 200 year old prison.  That was really quite an incredible experience, and I am very much looking forward to getting back there.  I am also rather pleased that we have managed to accommodate a day off in San Sebastián, where we quickly stopped last time.

Here are our dates:

09 may. SOPELANA (Bizkaia) @ La Triangu
10 may. BERMEO (Bizkaia) @ Alt Sessions Festival
11 may. BILBAO @ UMORE ONA
12 may. OÑATI (Gipuzkoa) @ Pako Taberna
15 may. SAN SEBASTIÁN/DONOSTIA @ Ondarra Club 16 bis
16 may. VITORIA/GASTEIZ @ Gora Taberna Gasteiz
17 may. URRETXU (Gipuzkoa) @ Hankie Hankie
18 may. LLEIDA @ Oh Yeah! (Swampy Weekend)

Look forward to meeting you on the road. SS

Two Italian shows this weekend!

May 3, 2013 — Leave a comment

The last time we played a full band show in Italy was at Ohibo when we released the Devil Inside video. So it’s a welcome return for us this weekend. First up we play this Friday night, 3 May at Ligera, MILANO with our good friends, The Three Blind Mice. Then on Saturday 4 May we head north to Cantu for a show at one Lombardia’s most famous clubs, All’Unatrentacinquecirca (or All’Una35circa for short ).
