TIJUANA 18 May Autitorio Municipal
Well, with great sadness I’ve realized that the last gig is here. It’s been five weeks and we have loved every minute of it. It was an awesome experience that I hopefully will repeat soon. We had arrived at the same day of the gig hours before the doors opened so we checked in at the hotel and rushed to the venue for sound check. The trip was breathtaking as we drove all the way through the desert and the Rumorosa mountains. An awesome view but the heat was intense. Thank god for air conditioning. The sound check went really well and it was done very quickly. We could hear the crowds outside and the securities were pushing to open the doors as trouble may flare outside. The gig went down like a storm. We played an extra song tonight: ‚So you know‘ with Fernando and Mohamed from Mago de Oz making a special appearance. Awesome! As we were finishing the set in ‚La Ultima Hora‘ the Mago memebers invaded the stage and proceeded to dismantle our gear and jump around the stage. Well, we where expecting some joke because it was the last gig. We had a right laugh and a couple of shots of tequila. Immediately after the set the party began. Whilst Mago’s set we got completely wasted and invaded the stage a couple of times. Like always we ended up with the audience until Mago’s last song in which we were invited on stage for a farewell drink and to salute to the audience. I have to say a very special thanks to Mago de Oz and especially the Mexican audience who has been awesome from day one on.We ended up drinking the night away. We have to catch a plane to Mexico DF and then Madrid tomorrow. We are talking about a 12 hour travel. Well, we better get ready for some jetlag and have a rest. It’s been great to report to the great pages of Metal Hammer. We will soon be playing in Germany. We just confirmed some dates with In Extremo for July/August so we will catch there. STAY HEAVY ! See you on the road.
