Day 27 - Leeds (UK)
Feivel and Eric discovered the Primart in Leeds and sold it out. Marius fell in love with some books for kids and bought them for his girlfriend. The band OUTCRY COLLECTIVE opened the show that night. They play some kind of every time I die style and they fuckin’ rock. We were next. It was the lowest stage I’ve ever played on and in the front there was a big pillar. How stupid’s that?

Just like most medium-size UK cities, Leeds has a very special charme that really attract mainland Europeans. It was all about shopping and eating and I got the best chinese noodles of my life (and probably the next). The club was a typical pub kind of venue with no backstage area but all in all it was a neat place. Me and Marius were checking the van for further damages around 11pm when an “Under Eighteen Party” at a club down the street just ended. There were THOUSANDS of teenagers running through the streets, screaming, crying, laughing, singing, dancing… it was like the worst Romero zombie scenario and Marius and Me stood closely to the van to avoid damages (I am talking about human damages, not the van). We were lucky that a really nice girl let us stay at their parents house, otherwise we would have been stuck with some kind of travel lodge which nobody of us wanted to spend money on. Slept well, got out of the locked house through the window and got some breakfast at the cheapest supermarket. Back in the Van. London up next.
