It was like a dream. Tucznak, shooting all this for three days, wrote a nice post which sums it up for me quite well. “Internet makes the world smaller” finally got a real picture for me. We met people who really dare to be different without being unwillingly (or intentionally) silly. They do it by their spontaneity, fervid effort and extraordinary sincerity – something we use to call “rocknroll”.
I finally met my e-friend Anne Marie and we had a chance to “take drugs together”* and it was simply great. Mr. Abe Cruz aka The Dad made a show like he was on stage every night for many years and people loved it (according to what i heard on stage). Somebody mentioned Buena Vista Social Club and I nodded smiling. We had two beautiful evenings inside two nice restaurants, super-quick rehearsal, TV appearance, the Dad made couple of interviews for diverse media and we had a great time at the festival on stage together. 3 days stay is a luxury for a rock-star on tour to spend in one country, isn’t it?
Hard to describe the atmosphere, so I will rather use videos to talk about it instead of words.
This one was shot by Tucznak on stage at Rock For People festival in Hradec Králové.
This one we found on youtube:
This is the final encore of the show, Blue Friday. You can tell we liked it:
Here you can see the special appearance of Abe Cruz, Anne Marie Cruz and me in Czech TV, presenting the video in TV premiere:
Pictures will follow.
Tomorrow you can see us at International Film Festival Karlovy Vary (MFF KV) in club Rotes Berlin. The start will be around 11-12 PM.
