WE(N)EED FIRE AND MUSIC

After the show in Louisville, Kentucky, Wenzl was dancing with a girl in the audience, totally oblivious to the fact that an angry ex boyfriend was eager to get into a fist fight. 

After the situation became quite heated, we decided it was best get the hell out of there. Since we had no place to stay, we were forced to camp out in the deserted, cold woods of Kentucky, put up a tent, and make a bond fire. We were a little freaked out by all the strange noises coming from the depths of the dark forest. The sound of anything from falling tree branches to wind whistling through the trees to unidentifiable animal grunts was constantly diverting our attention. But, we did manage to distract ourselves with some chilled out music by the fire. Music and a warm fire… an amazingly comforting and relaxing combination. The stressful evening was followed by an extremely fun night, leaving us with beautiful memories.




We woke up to the sun light piercing through thin cloth of our tent. 



The positive energy from the previous night´s music was still flowing through our veins, which made the car drive to St. Louis go by rather quickly. Or, maybe the fact that we were passed out the entire time had more to do with that… We arrived at the Old Rock House to find that we did not have enough time for a sound check, because another band was booked to open for us. We were on stage ready to introduce the pounding kick drum but there was no bass on the channel, and as a result, we failed to make the bodies of our audience shake. A good friend of ours hooked us up with a sweet place to sleep.



In the morning, we woke up to eggs, bacon and pancakes. What a pleasant surprise!  




After some pasta, we are ready to go on stage in Lawrence, Kansas, a beautiful college town with beautiful vibes. 


After our show, we had a few beers and hung out with the locals. In the green room we carved our name into the wall so we could be remembered...


After leaving the club, we checked out a local bar where young people hang out for James´ Birthday. 

There was nothing going on so we came back to the hotel room to get some sleep.




Now we have the day off and it´s Halloween!!!
