It had taken us some time to get to Budapest, although well worth it for the crowd's enthusiasm and gratitude to us for travelling there. Nevertheless, we were left some distance away from our next show at the Judgement Day Festival in Dornbirn, Austria. After a day driving in the tour van, we spent the night about half way to our eventual destination, in Linz, Austria. It was a wild night full of clothes washing after so many days on the road with no time off . The following day our "lovely" driver Stefan got us safely to Dornbirn the night before the show.
Spielboden was an impressive venue with good sound and lighting, which looked like it was used more for cultural events rather than the bunkers we'd become accustomed to on this tour. Disturbingly, we knew that we had to leave the festival straight after we played because we had to make it to Rome by the next afternoon. And so we had a relax while Grooving in Green (formerly Children on Stun) played and then performed for an hour. After so many shows under our belts, it felt like we had found our rhythm and that it was a good performance.
After the show, we had a quick chance to talk to many fans who'd come over from England and some locals too, but meanwhile the van was being packed for a quick escape to make the 1000km journey to Rome. As in Budapest, it was terrible to have to leave when the festival was still kicking on with a party.
Setlist and video to come...
