First of all sorry for the massive delay, it took me a while to sort stuff and life out after being away for more than a month. When returning back home after such a long time the daily grind hits like a rock. I just needed some space, which is the reason why it took me so long for this blog post.

I'm not sure where to start, being on tour was a great experience, it was a welcome change to my, compared to touring, boring uni life. 22 Cities in 22 days. This not only means you see a lot but it also means a lot of fun, driving and lack of your normal hygiene standards - since 22 days on tour doesn't necessarily mean 22 days of having a shower available.

A normal tour day consisted of waking up (whenever), driving, driving, probably more driving, stopping somewhere in some country at a roadhouse to have a wee, arriving at the venue, eating, loading in, delivering riffs to people (or in my case selling merch), loading out, partying / drinking / hanging out and going to sleep. Whenever I had some time on my hands and the venue wasn't too far away from the city center I tried to see as much as possible, but due a tight schedule it wasn't always possible to be a tourist.

The tour also gave me a good insight of what other people do with their lives: starting from being in a graffiti crew, working as a background actor in movies, tv shows and music videos up to working as a bartender while playing in a variety of bands at the same time. I met many interesting people and characters on tour and I'm really thankful for this great experience.

Big thanks goes to Mat, Dex, Nathan, Sam, and Razor of Demoraliser. Without them giving me the opportunity to do their merch the whole tour thing wouldn't have been possible. I also thank Thicks As Blood and Betrayal AND Doris for bringing by some delicious vegan gin & tonic cupcakes.

I also took some disposable cameras with me to catch some of the best moments on photo, so don't miss out on the pictures below!
