Greetings fellow degenerates. In a few days we start Pitchshifter's eleven week tour of North America and Canada with Junkie XL and Gravity Kills. We're on an aeroplane over the Atlantic at this moment in time.
In the last ten days we've done: Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Munich, Nurnberg, London and New York.
None of us have a clue what time zone our bodies want to sleep in, but we're all still alive and fairly lucid. We've already had to pay $850 in excess baggage charges so far (thank you so much British Airways) and we've had to buy a whole new backline in the
States because it works out cheaper than renting. So we're already skint before the first show.
Any body out there reading this who's coming to any of the shows, please bring us money (we promise not to spend it on drugs).
European tales: As for Europe we had a real blast this time around. We played a festival where 'GENESIS' were headlining (we didn't know that cryogenics had progressed so far as to actually being able to animate corpses, but apparently it has) and tore it up. We played with PRIMUS in Paris (wearing priest clothes) and had ourselves a ball.
So far only Johnny has had any real hassle. An irate German slapped him around the back of the head in a service station for no apparent reason. We attempted to kill him but the military were there and so we thought we'd better leave it. The German police also did a flying raid on our van at a service station looking for drugs, but obviously law abiding pillars of the community like ourselves would never do anything as illegal as taking drugs . . .
That's all freaks. Bookmark this page and check it out every few days or so.
We're going to send a page everyday - the fun is just beginning.
ps: A word to European promoters vegetarians do eat food substances other than cheese . . . EVER HEARD OF TOFU?
AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! NO MORE CHEESE!!!!!!!!!
