Spain - Crossroads festival

Had a great weekend in Spain, besides the horrific journey, 1 band, 2 vans, 3 flights, 4 airports! ... why there were 3 flights to spain .. when we could have just taken one i dunno. We got to where we were playing, at 11.30 at night ... and spent 3 hours looking for anywhere to eat. There was nowhere .. so we settled for beer!


The Next day, after eating, and buying the coolest top i've ever owned, for only 50p we headed down to the festival site. If you don't know .. i love Stadium construction, most are genrally beautiful buildings! we were playing infront of a football stadium, this make me happy. (heres the festival line up) http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/2300919.jpg

Seeing some of the amazing musicians on the line up was getting me slightly worried, espeically Sonny Burgess, Joe Bataan, and Kid Creole & The Coconuts! I mean, there we are, looking scruffy and readig to pund out some heavyness, and next tyo us are the guys who created the sound of rock'n'roll, they recorded with Elvis in 1953 .. all of them wearing sun records t-shirts and hats. Totally some of the nicest guys in the world. They even took the time to watch us play, and said 'You guys put on a hell of a show, we really enjoyed it' Thats coolness!

After that drinking happened.
The Next day we went down to the festival to watch some of the other bands. unfortuantely .. i drank to much to take any pictures, hangover city!
Then came the flights home, and the loosing of 2 guitars and my bass! London .. EVIL!
they have now been returned!
