Woke up at 10am, Fab was already gone to the airport to take his plane but he called us because the flight was cancelled because of too much frog… so after buying food for the trip, we went to catch him at the airport at 2pm.

Then arrived at the Serbian border where we spent a litlle bit less than 3 hours with a cop who decided to look in all our bags and pockets… finally he gave up after seeing all the instruments…

Driving… we let Bino with Kate in Zagreb at 5am, enjoy Bino !

Driving… no problems at borders, not even in germany, whaou !!

Driving… another movie please !!

Driving… a little stop with French customs but no real control after all

Driving… arrived in Antony at midnight, after 34 hours of travelling………………….

Everybody took his things and then went to his own bed…. Feeling strange….

We woke up at 1pm, got out of hostel at 2pm.

What is difficult on this winter tour is of course the temperature but also the lack of light during “our days”: we always play after 11pm and for about a bit less than 2 hours, after it’s party with friends, then pack backline in the van, then go to sleep in a place, put on beds... so it’s nearly not possible to sleep before 4am. So we sleep till midday and go out at 1or 2pm. But the night arrive at 4:30pm, so we just have day light for 2 or 3 hours per day. When we get in the van to go for next gig, it’s completly night.

Chakka came with us to Zenrajnin, as our guide. Got to drive slowly because of freezed road...

So we arrived late and didn’t have time to soundcheck. As support band was “Impurita”, an hardcore band from Zrenjanin that helped “Tzef” (sorry guy, I don’t how to write your name...), the promoter, to organise the gig. They made a powerfull gig that warmed very well the audience. The place, the hall of the Cultural Center of the town, was full ( about 200 people) with all ages. Jandric family from Osijek also came as Tzef is one of thier friends.

We started with a difficult sound, but however... the people were really hot, jumping and punk dancing (pogo?), very good reaction maybe because it was a big part of Impurita audience !!

While we were packing our stuffs, Julian realised that somebody stole his jacket, so we looked everywhere, gave phone calls, but we didn’t found it... so it was not very good ambiance...

Then, some of us went to sleep at Tzef place and the others went party in a club. Lept only few hours...

Big Thanx to Tzef for your organisation, place to sleep and kindness !!

We had time on this morning because next gig is not so far, so we walked in the city which in north part of Croatia, called Slavonia, is on the Sava, the river that makes the border with Bosnia y Herzegovina. Here during the war, people had to leave the town because of bombs.

Then we took the van after chilling a bit at Marco’s place, shearing good music. We need to go to Osijek just 2 hours driving.

Arrived easily at 5pm, as Marina, one friend of former tours, came to pick us in town.

The place was really cold because of no heating. We had to wait for the PA system for 2h...

After waiting, we were said that we would play after midnight, so we began to drink, with Jandric family and Chakka from Sombor, one singer we met last summer...

The first band playing was from the town, an heavymetal/hardrock band with an singer with an amazing voice just like Axl Rose !! back 12 years before ! So cool !

At midnight it was Tim's birthday, we celebrate his 20 years with beer and rakija. When arrived time to play (1am...) we were really charged with alcohol. We had fun on this gig but it wasn't one of our best... anyway people react good, Chakka came to play on 3 songs with lot of improvisation, a little bit messy but quite funny ! Once more we sang for Tim's birthday, at the end people were slowly going back home, because of late hour or confused music, we'll never know... However, as usual now, Martial mixed till 4:30am while we were dancing with our friends and the rest of courageous people from Osijek. Then went to eat pizzas (once more...) before going to sleep in the flat of one of the promoters, at 6am. 

Special thanks to Marina, Tanja, Vesna (Jandric Family) for taking care of us all night long !!

Hey Lolov’, hope you enjoyed the evening with no rehearsal for once J
