Sinsheim - Blasting party



After a big hangover due to the party in AJZ Bahndamm we went to Sinsheim, Music Pub Express, for the 2nd gig.
Well received again by the owner (Werner).
The lack of voice PA wasn´t a problem for Werner. He arranged all the needed equipments with a friend in 15 minutes! 
I didn´t expect too much from the audience but I was wrong. It was an awesome gig and so Brutal! With a lot of moshpits in the small bar (Without stage). Even when we had a technical problem (The battery from the guitar ended in the middle of a song) the audience didn´t stop asking for more songs!
One funny thing: There was a hip hop guy in the concert and he was very VERY high and started to hit the drumset in the last song till falls the whole set in the floor. HAHAHAHA So, started another moshpit, now against this dickhead. Everyone kicked his ass until he had to left the bar.
End of the concert, everyone tired and it´s time to? PARTYYYY
Ahn? We drank so much... and some guy, I can´t say who, tried to clean his cock in the sink hahahahahaha Fortunately, he couldn´t.
Hell yeah! Great fucking party! Thanks a lot Werner! See you next time!

*Eu quero sabeeerrr.... e um tabaco bem massa! pfpfpfpf hahahahaha

First gig in Germany - Wermelskirchen

After the anxiety in the airport waiting for Estevan and Jonathas with a big afraid of them being inadmited one more time (Yes, my thoughts about Spanish boarder police is true! Most of time they inadmit a person without a real reason) we came to the hotel in Offenbach drop up our stuff.
A lot of funny things happened there and one of them was that I´didn´t had put the strings in the bass so, let take a walk and find a music store. YES we´re dumb and we got lost after find the music store.  (after 40 minutes walking ahahaha)
We found a drunk guy at the train station, saying in German (2 brazilian guys that we´ve found minutes later translated that) that he was stoled and when this happens, the guilt must pay with blood. The guy was really, really pissed.

Next day we woke up at 5am to arrange all the stuffs and wait our van coming from Poland. (The guy delayed 3 hours!!! This almost killed us with a heart attack)
Khrophus were waiting us at the hotel in Frankfurt, ready to go straight to Dortmund pick up and load the trailer with the backline rented at Gate to Hell.
Now started our despair - The van started to smoke as Krakatoa and we thought that we were inside of it. Oil or diesel burning, we don´t know the reason yet. We know that we´re going to stay with this smoking van until 28nov when we have the opportunity to change our van cause we have 3 gigs in Poland at this time.

We got our backline in Dortmund, well received by the owner and then we went to Wermelskirchen.

We arrived in AJZ BAHNDAMM with a great reception. Thorsten, Thanks very much!
We had also a mechanic from the crew looking our car!!!

1st show, without a rehearsal, with a lot of troubles consuming us… we had a great show. We achieved our objective!

Great party after the show! Open bar (beer). Everyone drunk… YEAHHH

Preparatory... Before the beginning!

Hello everyone!
This is Ricardo Falcon from itSELF and from today I´m going to keep you updated.

Most of people think that have a band is just plug the guitar and go up to the stage and that the things are easy, considering you have a king´s life, bla bla bla...

Wrong!

All our difficulties to make this tour real started when we had more than 7 concerts cancelled, remaining less than a month to the beginning of tour. So it started a process called "Rushing against time" and I think it worked. With a lot of people helping us we achieved our goal re-booking these concerts.

Easy till now?

Let´s talk about that we´re brazilian (I´m the only one with double citizen) and then begins another nightmare: Foreign immigration.

Which was the plan?

As I live in Spain, Barcelona, I invited Estevan Furlan (drums/vocals) and Jonathas Peschiera (Bass) to come into my house to know Barcelona, do some rehearsals before the tour kickoff.
Guess what? Yes... They were considered as inadmissible passagers in Madrid (without a concret reason, in my opinion it was just a xenophobic act).
They paid by the unjust.
But this wasn´t a moment to cry and think that everything was over. As Marcin from Mythrone promotion wrote to me:
"Your determination and improvisatione are most important things in this "business""

So We had to think about in a second plan. Great! We bought another 2 flight tickets directly to Frankfurt, where I am right now at this moment.
To brace it, some letter invitations from some promoters may help if something goes wrong.

I´m very positive and nothing will go wrong now. They´ll arrive tomorrow and friday we´ll get our van with Lukasz and the backline at Gate to Hell. After that we´ll be ready to kick ass and go to Wermelskirchen for our 1st gig with Rotten Sound.

While the tour doesn´t start, I´m rehearsing alone and drinking some Franziskaners. 

Anxious to post some pics and videos after the Friday´s concert.

See you soon,

Ricardo Falcon
