Last week definitely was a good one! It started with the best thing imaginable – a U2 concert! We got the tickets last October, so the wait was way too long. But finally the day arrived and we enjoyed it a lot. We were joined by the winner of our U2-ticket-competition… but wait, hm, didn’t a guy win the ticket?

What’s better? A festival-gig in front of 10000 people who don’t know our music at all, or a smaller show for fans that drove 3 hours just to see us play?

It’s better to play two shows to an audience that likes our style of music than 10 to longhaired metalfreakes (which by they way always turn out to be the nicest people) or a bunch of drunk people. continue reading »
