A couple of hours ago we arrived in São Paulo, but the last days in Colombia are still very present in our heads. The last show in Bogota was just amazing! We played in an abandoned chinese restaurant together with really awesome bands from Bogota: Isla Tortuga, Whites and Ximena Tenemos Que Hablar. Altough it was a monday, there were already a lot of kids even before the doors opened. And just after the first band started to play the venue was packed and both - the crowd and the bands - delivered a nice energy. The show was promoted by the super nice guys from the "Rattrap" cultural center which is a really cool place that offers screenprinting facilities and workshops, a rehearsal space and art expositions, just to name a few. This place is DIY culture lived to its fullest!
Anyway, when we were about to play it was already getting late and people not only hung out inside the venue but as well on the sidewalk in front of the venue. Because it was a monday and a rather quiet neighbourhood and there were no permits for the venue or the show, we heared some whisperes that we might get a visit from the police...and we did. But luckily they just arrived during our last song of the set. Still it was a bit of a bummer because everyone had to leave the venue immediately and there was no time to hang out and talk to everyone.
The next day we met up with Julio from Discos Sin Fronteras - this guy really made our time in Bogota an unforgettable one - and went up the Montserrate mountain to get the perfect view of the city. From up there we truly realized the huge dimensions of Bogota. Later we visited the Rattrap and said our goodbyes to everyone before we left for the airport. So now a couple of hours later, here we are in São Paulo, Brasil! We got picked up at the airport by our friend Favela and right now we're enjoying the hospitality of São Paulo's finest Rosanne and Wellington. Tomorrow will be the first of nine shows in Brasil together with our friends from Days of Sunday and Under Bad Eyes... we truly can't wait!
