I VANT TO DRINK YOUR BLOOD (and put you in a crap hotel)...

Just thought I'd post up a few photos from Romania on Friday seeing as it was a bit of a random trip!

The gig was great, which is the important part, totally rammed, to the point where it was just sooooooo hot in there, my clothes are STILL soaking wet and its Monday! Got to the point though where all my makeup had run into my eyes and I couldn't see properly!

And, well the hotel is worthy of a mention - I really needed a good long sleep after the gig, to the point where we'd changed the flights so I could just pass out till the 5pm flight back to London, but well - the hotel was a bit more like Dracula's Grannie's ghoulish Guesthouse, so I ditched that plan and went straight back on the 8am flight, on no sleep, completely mashed! Filmed the hotel to remember the glorious experience... see below ;-)

Gotta say thanks to all the clubbbers that came out to the gig though, despite the dodgy hotel and no sleep/flight mix-ups it was good to come and play to such a good crowd, and I'm still friends with the organisers! Next time its the Hilton baby! ;-)

I VANT TO BITE U ON ZEE NECK!



Booyah!

What an amazing gig in Romania on Saturday! Got back home last night - a LONG day travelling - but man, it was worth it! We were at the Felsziget Festival, in Targu Mures, I think right in TRANSYLVANIA!! We didn't see any Vampires though - BUT lots of horses and carts! 

You can see a few photos from the gig here: 

It took AGES to get there though - I took Hayley with me so that certainly helped get through it! On a MEGA hangover after Friday night's London excursion we were on the road at 1130, flew to Frankfurt, then connected to Cluj, then a 2 hour drive through windy Romanian roads to get to Targu Mures! We managed to get showered, changed and make-up-ed in 30 mins at the hotel then ZOoooooomed to the stage. LOVED it though. The kiss arena held about 3-4000 people, massive sound system and lightshow, dancers and all that! No wine - but cunning John B & Hayley bought some Sancerre at Frankfurt airport... Hehehehe.

So yeah - it went ace - played one of my best sets of the year for sure, started with Dnb, dropped some electro&techno for about 20 mins, then went back to Dnb for the end. OH - hahaha and there was a power cut about half way through for a few minutes - the whole place went pitch black, all the sound off and everything... I had a little LED book light in my bag and shone it on my face like a little blair witch John B. Ah the joy! When the power came back on it was amazing though - the whole place just roarrrrrred. All the new tracks I've been working on went down MIGHTY. So yeah. It was a good one. Oh, and NO MCS. Thank f&%k for that. (By the way, I DO actually like MCs and think they work great with normal DnB sets - just not mine, for the most part...)

We had the video recorder out there too so will post up the tour video later in the week. I should have filmed the mud though... Romania claimed my Hi-Tops. But I returned non-vampirey. ;-)


You just go to the stars rating bit and give me lots of em - and click on the PARTY TIME bit! Looks like I'm already way about Freeland and Bukem! Huzzzah!
