September 5, Heilbronn

Woke up after a good nights sleep and without any stressed timeschedule. Heilbronn was only a couple of hours away so we had the time to take it easy during the day. Sergej, the promoter, took very good care of us. He had bought flowers and decorated the whole stage in lights and plants, it felt like playing in a smaller jungle. At 8 o'clock we watched the crucial footballmatch between Hungary and Sweden in the world cup qualification. Zlatan, saviour of the day, scored 1-2 in the very last second of the overtime. We were ecstatic! Good to see Elke, her boyfriend Daniel, and Michael again. We had a great last concert and left for a nightride to Sweden with our hero Palle behind the wheel. Homeward bound. Thanks for this great tour.

Jonsí & Alex - Atlas

September 4, Frankfurt

Long long drive to Frankfurt. Tom had arranged a nice breakfast on the porch of his giant house outside Graz. Pouring rain. Tropical heat have changed into scandinavian autumn cold, luckaly we locked in ourselves watching movies all day in the tourbus. The concert was just fine and we had some fun DJ'ing our own private dancefloor afterwards. Then David found a Star Wars-sword.

Eddie Murphy / Rick James - Party All The Time

September 3, Graz

John guided us out of Belgrade in his blue Ford and we had a very long drive up to Graz, Austria. Still around 30 degrees oustide. In Slovenia the police charged us with a penatlyfee because we didn't have a sticker on the front window. Since the law is about only one month old there was no information on the highway and the slovenian police made a big jackpot out of stopping all the foreign cars they could find. That's life (over there). Graz was beatiful and we played in an artcenter in the middle of a big park. Peter, promoter took us to a great veggie restaurant and Tom, who engineers Anti Flag on tours, got us the best sound of this tour. Apparently the other band; Fragments Of An Empire had their releaseparty and it was a great atmosphere with all the people around. Very nice to see the people at the merchandise, austrians have a funny accent. Many thanks to Tom for last night.

Chet Baker - These Foolish Things

September 2, Belgrade

Just a couple of hours sleep before we had to hit the road again. We crossed Hungary and could after 10 hours drive (border issues included) finally get through to Belgrade in Serbia. We didn't really expect Europe to be this hot - it's around 30 degrees everyday and we are almost melting away. John and Holly, two americans that moved to Belgrade in '86, took very good care of us. They told us about their lives and some stories from the last decades in the area. Such a great couple. We played under a bare dark sky in front of around 1000 students, a very special experience. Serbian girls are pretty and the fastfood is great. We absolutely hope to get back the next tours...

Logh - The Big Sleep

September 1, Vienna

We left Chemnitz after the show. Patrick drove us safely all through the night and when we woke up, we were in Vienna. Spent some time looking at big baroque buildings and eating italian ice cream before finally falling asleep in the grass in front of the butterfly house. Rhiz was a great and cosy club in the center of the city. Promoter Andrei and sound engineer John took very good care of us. After 7 hours of talking english John revealed to us that he was swedish, born and raised in gothenburg. The funniest guy of the day Also thanks to Marionette ID wich also played and Benedek with friends for traveling from Hungary to see us. This was also the night when Claes dropped his iPhone...

Loney, Dear - I Got Lost

August 31, Chemnitz

We didn't really leave Dresden until we definetly had to. It's not really usual to have such short drives on tour. After a breakfast in the garden we took a walk downtown and visited in some kind of a big instrument outlet before we had to go further down south. A mondaynight in Chemnitz at the venue Subway To Peter is a pretty big difference to the earlier tourdates, even though we had a great time playing the concert. Very loud and down-to-earth. Very nice to meet new people and to try the amazingly disgusting garlic-liqour. We decided to leave Chemnitz after the concert for a late night ride to Wien...

TomiB - Squarepusher

August 30, Dresden

Good start; someone had locked the backstage area with our gear inside so some handyman had to break up the door. Short drive to the beautiful city of Dresden. The venue, societätstheater, was definetly one of the best we've ever been to. The stage, the backstage, the apartments, the resturant and most of all the people there were amazing. The microphoneman, a medicinestudent named Frankenstein showed up again and traditionally saved us from another mic-stand fail. After the concert we had to go visit the Lebowski bar, completely inspired by the Cohen film. A night to remember.
