Tour Notes - Feb '12 // España (pt2)
I woke up very early on a Wednesday to take a bus to Vigo, I was really happy to go back there because it was the first Spanish city I ever visited and I have great memories of going there. I fell asleep almost instantly, very boring bus ride, until I found out there was internet connection, score! The highway to Galicia has such a lovely landscape, for real. The promoter’s girl, Sabela,...

Tour Notes - Feb '12 // Italia
I opened my eyes and thought “this is it: I’m doing the rest of the tour by myself”. That means a lot of things: I have to take care of everything, and be alert at every second; one misstep and I’ll get lost, miss the show and won’t get paid. Also means a lot of spending time alone and thinking and thinking, that can drive you a little crazy. And you better pray that...

Tour Notes - Feb '12 // España (pt1)
Madrid was the place for the first show of the tour. I played a venue called Siroco with my labelmates Fair Ohs, from England. I met them and Laura, their tour manager, at Callao to eat lunch and Eddy, the singer/guitar player, managed to call me a prick in the first 30 seconds of our meeting. I knew I was going to have fun. We went together to El Prado Museum, it was pretty shocking to see those...

Cokemachine Glow's "This Is Why I Write Music... →
Cokemachine Glow is a website I follow since like 2005. So, you gotta understand why I got all excited when they wrote these lines about my album. They gave it the “This is why I write music criticism” award. Well, “award”, as in those year-end mentions. To relate that kind of reaction to my album make me very happy.
