VIDEO: Take a Ride Back Tour - Photo's - 8 June 2010

We Started our journey on a sunny day everyone was ready to hit the road and off we went.

The long drive to Holland Circa 27 hours... did had effect on our mood and the weather turned worse and worse..We got stuck with a Fog So thick we couldn't see jack shit...Bob was going crazy Screaming *FOG THIS SHIT*

We stopped for a break ..And moved on ...When we came to our destination SCHIEDAM...(Holland)

We Had a day off to get some rest before the first Gig.

Our friend Sander welcomed us with a beer frenzy

And the party started.....And it seemed like it never ended..

Blasting trough the gigs, seeing friends and family and venues treating us awesome,sleeping on floors,in the van,no sleep,fights,broken tour van,blown up speakers,tons of fast food,booze,and other highly recommended smoking ware,Crazy going fans,Forced to be on pictures,Starving,Boredom,Lost etc etc

GIG pub leyendo 19-06-2010

This turned out to be one of the most memorable moments in my Floodstain carreer... I've got a lot of those but this one story comes to mind...

I was on tour with my band Floodstain and we had a gig in Ca stellon. I think pub legend i don't know if it still exists but I know the owner died sadly.

So we arrive in the afternoon and the sun is out. It's extremely hot and the shutter was still down. we were still a bit hungover as yea that happens on tour sometimes.

After a while the owner came walking and opened the shutters and directly pulled out posters and cds that he wanted us to sign and asked us if we wanted whisky shots.. we politely said we would rather take a beer still feeling the hangover from yesterday. 

Our new record isn't out yet but we did play all the songs on it and had one music video out of the song ice pick lobotomy.

After we set up our gear we waited in an empty venue thinking what the hell is the night going to bring and soon had to start playing i ordered some beers and we climbed on this mini stage we barely fitted on but it was big enough.

The moment I turn around to put my amp on..and turning back facing the front of the stage the place was packed till the rim we were like holycow and thought we gotta work hard  tonight !!

We let the amps swell and the started shouting FLOODSTAIN FLOODSTAIN FLOODSTAIN  we thought what do they already know us...... 

 

NOTE: We didn't capture the fans getting excited back in June, but when we played at the bar again in October, we were ready and recorded the enthusiastic crowd. This video is from that October show.

As soon as we start playing our single Ice pick lobotomy the crowd sings all our riffs in fine detail and sings along with the lyrics of almost all of our material... 

Then we played our last song, Deathproof:

NOTE: This video features the final song of the night and the last song of the tour! 

After we finish our set, they kep screaming for more lol, so we kept playing, encore after encore!

After the show the whole venue plus crowd takes us out for food and drinks, the longest table I've ever eaten on and yes we got hammered. 

That moment stuck to me as u may be an unknown band on tour but stuff does sometimes resonate with people in places u never expect to happen..
