Konzert vom 08.05.2007Hey there!



Okay! now I have some sick shit to write about. China rules!



We got on the plane to Beijing - had a safe flight and all. Landed - no problems with the customs - everything went smooth. Met up with our Danish guy, Martin, over here.
Checked in at our hotel and had a rest before we went out for dinner and drinks.



1st of May and 1st show: The Midi Festival



Everything seems to be a bit chaotic when we arrive at the festival. And chaos is the main subject over here. More about that later. Time for a soundcheck. Normally it´s pretty fast, but there are issues because of the language. Only 1 person of the crew (out of 100 or so) speaks English. And we don´t speak Chinese. So things are a bit more tricky. But it works out okay, and we play a couple of songs to make sure that everything works fine. Around 300 people are already in front of the stage screaming for more.



There is no real backstage - there is a press tent where we hang out a bit, and talks about todays schedule.
All good so far, but still everything seems a bit chaotic.
We take a walk around the festival area, and get a few beers, and check out the tents with shirts and other stuff.
And then the madness begins: This is no joke. I think we got something like 500 photos taking during the afternoon .With fans that knew who we are - and with people who just wanted to take pictures with those tall, weird looking guys from some other country.
Every 5 minute some guy came to us and said: "Please - take picture?"
So weird to be in that situation the whole day - but fun. Met a lot of fun people.



Later on we got told that people are considering us as being the headliners that day.



Interviews are being made and more photos are being taken.
I already got a bad thing going on in my body - had it from the early morning.
So I am forced to visit the toilet 3 times that afternoon. And it´s no fun being 2 meters tall, and then take a shit in a small closet with a hole in the floor, ha ha - check the pictures and you know what I mean.



Showtime.

Mayhem - that´s all I can say. Never found out how many people that were there.
But somewhere between 15.000 and 20.000. And everybody is into it. Crazy!

After the show we go to this venue called Star Live. Our new buds from Rock Hard Power Spray plays there. We all get drunk, and the rest is a blur. Check the pictures I did and enjoy.




Will be back tomorrow with a report of our second show.
