Bang The Drum Slowly, Dumbass

@ Virus, Örebro

Load in was at 16:00, we arrived a bit late, maybe 16:20. But no panic, Di’Anno’s crew and the backline arrived eventually 2 hours late. Well, shit happens.




The venue was surprisingly small, with a stage so small that if we’d had Petes drumset or something bigger, we wouldn’t fit!


Otherwise the whole day was pretty standard stuff. The venue provided excellent food (medium rare stake, ribs and delicious cream garlic potatoes). Cool house tech;s. The hotel was awesome too, very stylish and pretty close to the venue.

The backstage though, wasn’t really up to par with the food and service. Our table was a shelf-board on two crates. The toilet was broken, so it came with a lé picant ammoniac scent and a complimentary turd. They also didn’t realise were Finns, or they don’t have that much experience with Finns since we only got half a (small) crate of beer (about 8 beers). That’s breakfast in Finland!

Luckily we had some long drinks and such in the car, so no worries.
But all in all everything sorted out and most important, the gigs went very well!
