It was the first time for us playing in a phenomenal big circus tent. It was a festival called “RIOROCK†where TEN FOOT POLE, DEATH BY STEREO and MADBALL headlined. Feivel got insane once again when TEN FOOT POLE started rockin’ out. He remebered when he covered some songs of them with his former punk rock band GREAT GUNS. Chris and me were absolutely excited for MADBALL and they fuckin’ destroyed everything. We saw them a thousand times and we were never disappointed. Yeah! By the way: I’ve never seen so many ugly people on one place than on this festival. Howcome?

Huge festival, huge stage, huge line up, huge merchtent… feels kinda strange playing such a monstrous show after so many small club shows. We still gave our best on stage which didnt work out the way I wanted it to but I guess our set was still alright, at least we sold loads of merch after the show. Right before we sorted out whether we’d do an overnight drive or sleep for 3 hours I met someone I hadn’t seen in years: Hondo, one of the first kids I got in touch with when I entered the hardcore scene in 1995. It was such a big pleasure talking to him, finding out about his life, family and most of all seeing that he still has the same passion for hardcore music that he had 15 years ago. This conversation made my day, thanks!
