And of course, not much has happened since April but I guess that's the case for most bands also.
Until now that is. Within a few weeks great reviews showed up in both Deaf Forever and RockHard. 8/10 in both magazines which just feels crazy. I mean, I'm really proud of the release, it's not that. I put a lot of effort into the guitars and to have John Cobbett putting a solo on it was a huge inspiration for me. It still feels a little surreal though, mainly to be IN those mags. I've been buying RockHard for years, even if I don't speak much German. And when Götz took some of the crew and started up Deaf Forever I signed up for a subscription right away. And now this...
Last summer festival is approaching also. It sure has been a great summer. It was definitely the right decision to see all bands I haven't seen before at SRF, well... The classic ones. Not my cup of tea all of it but still cool to have seen it. Vanilla Fudge, King Kobra, Hawkwind, Eric Bell. I also took the opportunity to see Grand Slam, high profile coverband but it sure was good. Perhaps they played a little late though. I'm still trying to catch up though. The momentum I had in the beginning of the summer isn't really there. But it's ongoing at least and hopefully the reports should be up rather soon. I applied for another weeks vacation today so I'll have that one as a back-up too. But it was long since it was this much fun with Concerts, Festivals, Records (which shows in the livingroom, almost out of space), Reviews... And of course Photos! Sometimes I just want to puke when I have 50-60 pictures open from a show. At least before realizing what a cool selection I have to put together a series of 15-20-25 pictures. Some are of course very similar but with those kind of batches, variation should be good too. But it is damn boring to save them to the archive once the editing is done. All coming on Metal Kaoz in the coming weeks/months.
