Brasil....! It is being so intense and so much fun! During the last six days we've been playing five shows in Sao Paolo, Piracicaba, Santos, Rio de Janeiro and Sorocaba. We're travelling with two kinda small cars which makes fitting all the gear and smelly clothes into the trunks quite a convenient challenge every night...But also besides our Eau de Cologne moments there have been so many impressions in such a short time that it is kind of hard to get a hold of it all. Every city and every venue had a charme of it's own. In Piracicaba for example the show took place in the basement of this old school kinda bar where we got treated with homemade Cachaça and Rabo De Galo. Don't even ask what the latter is...you gotta try it for yourself! In Santos we played in a lovely small studio and got our asses kicked in the playststion Tony Hawks Pro Skater contest that was driving people crazy before and after the show.
Rio De Janeiro has been a really special experience to us. After a long drive we arrived at the Dona Vegana Restaurant which was the venue for the show. It is a really nice and welcoming place with great food and lovely people that also offered an art exibition. Although it was a rainy Sunday (and someone told us that the folks in Rio are kinda afraid of rain...), lots of people came out for the show and made it a beautiful night. The next day was an off day so we got the chance to do some sightseeing in Rio. Even though the weather was kinda shitty we just had to go for a swim at Copacabana. The good thing about it was that we pretty much had the whole beach for ourselves. And the Caipirinha bar was serving drinks despite the gnarly temperatures...It was already getting dark when we paid the Sugarloaf a visit. But this didn't make the view less spectacular! From up there we could overlook the many beaches, bays, neighbourhoods and hills of Rio enlighted by thousands of lights...it was really epic!
Tonight we just played in Sorocaba and we were looking forward to this show a lot because two years ago it has been one incredible night. And we should not be disappointed! This time the show took place in a tiny but really cool bar and again the kids were such an energy driven, welcoming and just beautiful audience!
We're heading for Curitiba right now which will take us about six hours and will be the starting point of our next four shows in Brasil: Florianapolis, Blumenau, Curitiba and Sao Paulo again...fuck yeah!
