I've been asked to play as support act for Grouper's gig in Bratislava!
 
I still can't believe the news. It's gonna happen in the end of October.

I'm so happy i'm considering crapping my pants right now.

atsonicpark 09.16.2009 06:28 AM

Fuck yeah.

Ask her out on a date.

SYRFox 09.16.2009 06:30 AM

I'll try to talk to her a bit and tell her how much I love her music but it's gonna be problematic due to two reasons:

1) I will be trembling and close to fainting
2) my English speaking ability is slowly going to hell (considering that the last person I spoke English to was mr. This Is Not Here in April)

I admit that I'm going to that primarily for Blues Control, but I don't see why you couldn't be just as good. If anything it should give you the extra drive to prove yourself.

Toilet & Bowels 09.16.2009 07:01 PM

well, we've only been together for four and a half months or five months and this is our second gig, we're working hard but i'm hesitant to compare ourselves to a group as established/experienced/sophisticated as they are.

Slavo:
I am so fucking proud of you. I hope this is the first step towards the global superstardom (or at least record release) that you thoroughly deserve.

blunderbuss 10.28.2009 01:51 PM

A bit late for good wishes now, probably, but never mind:

Have a great gig.

_slavo_ 10.28.2009 05:56 PM

I did well, I did a fucking HUGE set! Being a modest chap as I am, i can honestly say that the sound was brilliant, nothing went wrong technically and I think the audience liked at least as much as I did (there was at least 120 people in the audience ... wooow), based on the reactions of the folks after I finished.
Even Liz from Grouper came to me when I was backstage packing my stuff, she smiled at me and said it was a "very nice set", to which I replied that it was actually my first big gig ever and she said it's even better. Then I wished her good luck and she handed me a 7inch that I wasn't even aware it existed (no title nor print on it).

Her set wasn't very good though. She seemed to be having problems with the sound guys who made her sound too muddy and generally atrocious, so she looked kind of annoyed and her set lasted some mere 50 minutes or so. She didn't even do any encores.
After the gig, I thanked for the concert, told her I was a huge fan and told her I will drive her to the airport tomorrow, to which she said: "Cool, looking forward" :)

To sum it up, I had the time of my life tonight.
I will have some pictures and maybe even video footage in a couple of days time.

Thank you all for support.

SYRFox 10.28.2009 06:09 PM

Sounds awesome! Congratulations man :)
Did you record it eventually?

_slavo_ 10.28.2009 06:10 PM

i did not, but the sound guy hopefully did.

Genteel Death 10.28.2009 07:28 PM

I am fucking proud of you, slavo!!

Toilet & Bowels 10.28.2009 07:55 PM

tell her she's got groupies in london

atsonicpark 10.28.2009 08:30 PM

Slavo!
Slavo!
