We had a long drive ahead of us to Mrogowa, Poland. Add to that some difficulties with a GPS in one of the vans, and we arrived into town about an hour behind schedule.
After a much needed break at our center in Krogis, Germany to rest ourselves as well as repair some of our equipment, we headed to the nearby city of Wroclaw in Poland.
When we arrived in Cannes, we met with our new french Come&Live! band, Heroic Nation. We were playing in one of the most prime locations in the city because of an invitation from the mayor.
Two nights ago we drove 1 hr from our temporary home in Sevilla, into a coastal city called Huelva. Even though the concert was last minute, it really did not seem so - the church was welcoming with great food and housing, and a good location for the show.
We set up on a small strip near the beach, and within sight of Morocco across the water, when a piece of our stage equipment began to malfunction, and Yuki (soundman/stage manager) began to troubleshoot. It became apparent that our stage box was not functioning. The show was delayed, and we had to “jimmy rig” the setup using alternate means to get it even close to working.
The show in Carmona, was actually not in Carmona. We drove to a place outside of Sevilla, which resembled a small, not very Spanish-looking town.
Having played the previous night in Portugal, we left for the two-hour drive to the hometown of our Spanish tour manager Jonathan!
Amazing how much surroundings can change in a couple hours drive. Just a little after 2PM and we were in the city of Faro, in Portugal.
The obstacles that lie behind, point to the victories that lay ahead. - Rosal de la Frontera, Spain!
After already having dealt with car troubles, and a few team members feeling very sick, we arrived in another city square, this time near the border of Portugal. The weather was warmer, and the people seemed louder. Definitely not a sleepy little town.
At the last moment we were notified of a confirmed show in a city called Armeteros. 45 minutes later we were in the vans and following the GPS toward what would turn out to be a Catholic boarding school...
Having been organized two days beforehand, the concert in Béjar was last-minute to the tour. But the concert was surprisingly well advertised given the circumstances, and we saw many posters as we pulled into the city limits.
A couple nights ago we played a "stripped down" version of our show in an ancient church built in 1450AD, in a small village 40 minutes outside of Salamanca, Spain.
