Yesss! This show was cool as hell! Because of a tight time-schedule we could only play 6 songs but the venue was sold out and the kids went crazy when we started rockin’. There were grunge kids, punk rock kids, metal kids, rocker and hardcore kids. I love such shows. This was not a shitty fashion show where style and clothing counts in the first place. After this party I got to know a few kids from Southampton… really nice people.

Most of the times it is shows you don’t expect anything from that turn out the best. Southhampton was one of these shows. A really run-down place with a nice stage and the most “on the ball” soundguy ever! (“Er, guitar-guy, please turn down your mids to 12 o’clock and give it a little more presence!”). Every band got a limited amount of free drinks at the bar. At the end of the show all credit of all bands was exhausted. This is Hell: 2 cokes, Blackout Argument (minus Feivel and Eric): 3 cokes, Dead Swans (plus Feivel and Eric): 46 shots and 29 beers (rough approximation). Show was great, we got an amazing reaction from the crowd. Curfrew came and Pid (Dead Swans) was completely going overboard. He was obviously drunk, did summersaults on the ground, tumbled around, screamed “Hell yeah, last day of tour!!!” (… oh really, is it?!) and finally picked up a fire extinguisher which he used to flood the whole club, including my pants. The answer came in the form of a flying glass of jackie-cola which was heavily critizised by Ben whose shot it was (well actually is was MINE referring to the calculation above). We drove back to Benny’s place and once again rough-handled his family’s hospitableness. Thank you SO MUCH!
