Three days on road last week. Party bigger than bang and Adrian found himself exhausted and I found myself today…

Zlín was simply fantastic. We starred later than planned because people were unable to get in so we were waiting. When we finally showed up, there was a lot over a thousand people in Golem club looking eagerly for music, dance and entertainment. We had a great night though. Amazing crowd, pogo dance and reaction. A gig you will remember.

Day before, in Ústí, we had a chance to see Control (film by Anton Corbijn) and it’s not so bad as I heard. It’s a nice film with just a little too much literality expressed through the connection of the actual story and music, resp.lyrics of Ian Curtis. But it is touching and true-to-the-reality biopic, plus a great visually aesthetic entertainment. The after-party had a atmosphere of the film as the whole town looks a lot like Macclesfield. We had a good time and so the people who came to see us after the film. Tucznak and his father showed up as well as Tcha-Tcha and her boyfriend (is he called Martin?). Stevie performed Máj by K.H. Mácha and The Prostitutes hazard their reputatiton by playing She’s lost control live.

Ostrava welcomed us with a big article in Mladá Fronta Dnes newspaper and we expected quite a lot. Especially when some of our posters covered Daniel Panda’s ones. My phone, lost in Zlín and found by Stevie again, was finally totally broken so I spent some time by shopping for new one (unsuccessfully). Boomerang is closed, so instead of this traditional place for rock concerts, we played in Templ, the place where I attacked our prime minister last year. Soulmate and Ringwraith showed up. Thay had a little anniversary with us as he had a 20th and she had a 10th gig of The Prostitutes in Ostrava. We bought them to their surprise a bottle of sparkling wine during the concert inviting them to stage to celebrate. We agreed that we will turn our concert in České Budějovice in a little party staying there with Soulmate and her friends. Then we went t the car and we took off to our country road. The rest is in Adrian’s previous post.

As you can see on the pictures above, I had a first live appearance with my new Fender Telecaster ‘52 beauty I bought last week which plays so clean, so dynamic and overall so well that I was floored immediately. Big thanx to GuitarPark.cz for help, support and good taste for guitars! Looking forward for a strat this week coming from US. Then the Gibson/Fender forces will be in balance again.

Anne Marie sent me an email saying she is finishing a music video for Don’t Give A Damn with The Dad. I am so looking forward.

This week we have a couple of really important meetings concerning the recording. Cross fongers for us please!

There is a repotage (in three parts) done by Pavel Kučera for Knokaut, TV Óčko from our concert in Lucerna Music Bar:

    First: Boomerang is not closed, it only has a new owner. That means the previous owner now has only Templ and that’s why you played there, not in Boomerang.

    Second: Thanks for the celebration and that nice, sparkling and liquid present. This was the best suprise, really (and thanks for not buying a cake :D )

    Third: “As you can see on the pictures above..” should rather be “As you can’t see on the pictures above” :D

    and the last: Looking forward to the party in Budejovice!
