DAY 3:

Next morning we woke up in "E di Empoli". We drove there after the show..which was a long ride with stops and lots of waiting. We wake up early because we had a drive up to Switzerland. There were some debate to go to Pisa...luckily we skipped that.

And that's the reason why. There was a massive traffic jam on the Swiss highway and we lost 2 hours.

Finally we arrived to Bremgarten where we were playing at the Easter Fest. We got some delicious food, but it was really awkward when we were told to skip the whole line of punx waiting for food as we were the band...

Luka got his club mate.

Killing time.

Lots of nice stickers...

Tagged toilet wall.

Making money.

This dude drank most of the rakia we brought to gave it around and get some free donations...we brought 4 bottles and they were gone by the end of this night.

The whole night at Kubez was a blast. First we had the best gig of our life. The crowd went apeshit. We were never so excited while playing a show. It was beyond any expectation and this night will be a fond memory for the rest of our lives. Then we party like hell and hang out with lots of nice folks.

We share stage with  Irrsinn that were really nice folks and with Halshug thate were the bomb!

Mearch and booze.

DAY 4;

Next morning was an easy one and we had time to recover our-self from partying.

Kubez is a huge squat and well organized.

So many nice punx brewing coffee the whole morning.

Some dogs found this dead rat we've thrown the body but kept the head. The dog in the back was trippin' balls because he eat some human shit that was so toxic from drugs that he nearly died. It is pretty sad.

There was a city festival going on this Monday..

Having breakfast and getting ready to leave.

But Before we left for Lausanne we went to get this bread loafs with margarine and garlic. Yummy

Catching sleep.

Us at the new squat in the suburbs of Lausanne.

The new squat is amazing...well mind blowing. The punx there are so fuckin' talented that we were all in awe all the time. They have this huge garage with a lift able to lift 10 tons. So they are repairing trucks. Alex, one of the punx hosting our gig, is doing a car for this race at ShrotBar...it is more like a destruction derby or some kind of Mad Max car race.

Some punx live in the trailers some in the squat. The place was squatted in June of the last year.

They have so many different rooms. It's really huge.

The really really free shop.

Gym.

Lots of dogs looking for fun.

At night they set up u fire to keep us warm outside. I was really nice to spend the easter monday in such a utopian place.

There was one video on constant reply on the screen and it was a footage of some riot where a cop kicked some DIY riot bomb and when he kicked it ti explode and probably killed the cop or he was seriously injured. So funny to see the pigs go up in the air.

This night was really awesome. First we were given delicious food, like the best food I ever had on a Easter Monday. It was just insane how good it  was...then we shared the stage with a new band from the squat. It might be their first gig. They played something like Cop on fire inspired crust. We played the longest set on the tour...we did 13 songs. Just being in a such beautiful place was priceless and the crew is always so kind to us...definitely our favorite place in SWI.

Latter that night we did what we know best....drinking and having fun.

yeah right!

By the end of the night we were all pretty fucked..so we decide to play pool...there were just some balls and the table was out of balance...this was the longest pool game ever I think we played for more then an hour...

There was no white ball so we used the black one..black as the black block.

DAY 5:

We had a short night...the drive to Belgium was a long one so we wake up at 7h.

Spices.

Somewhere on the highway.

Finally we came to Gent and meet up with ZlataKosa...BEST DUDE OUT THERE! we played on a squatted farm.

They had some community gardens.

The most romantic toilet on the tour.

Prisoner 936 are a new band playing noise grind. They were super nice dude and it was really fun to play with them.

We packed the van and went to Zlatakosa place.

We feast on leftovers...and then party

the house is full of skulls..

DAY 6:

We weren't really in a hurry but still there was a decent ride in front of us, because Leipzig ain't close.

Yeah skulls everywhere.

Cutie!

Didn't got the chance to visit Gent...such a pity because it is a beautiful town.

File under funny plates...

Ok we came to Leipzig. We were super honored to play in such an amazing place as it's Leipzig...we played in Liwe. Arne was there and he made fuckin' awesome lasagna..mmmmm. We played a decent show and we share the stage with the amazing band from Norway called Jakem Warriors.

Creepy sleeping punx

DAY 7:

Our bros from Leechfeast were chasing us... they left on tour on the same day we ended it.

Jakem Warriors  were legit folks, true punx!

The crew prepared an really epic breakfast with pancakes so many different things. We ate ate the legendary Zoro Squat.

Jamming on a random gas station.

The ride to Wroclaw wasn't that long...compering the statistic we had..it was just a 5 hour ride.

We played in a nice youth center. Along with a french band called One Burning Match.

Nice silkscreened poster.

Our set was bad. Luka had no voice so we played a 20 min set.

DAY 8:

Wroclaw is a nice town, but everyone warn us about shit loads of Nazi scum living in the town. Lucky for us we didn't met any.

We had to drive to Slovakia and again it was a short ride.

Nuns at some gas station having fun.

So we played with Whithorse. They are really nice folks and it was really nice to hang out wit them. Their set was super heavy but the atmosphere was kinda strange. We played in a fancy cinema/theater place. There weren't many folks at the show. but still it was a fun night.

DAY 8:

We slept in a village outside of Trecin. Forgot the name. We were hosted by some really nice folks and we slept in a brand new apartment.

We had the shortest ride of the tour like 2 ours to Brno so we spent some time visiting the castle in the village.

 There was a Jewish cemetery.

The crew.

Lamest black metal pose ever!

Definitely the day of group photos.

Well we had time to kill also in Brno so we went to do some sightseeing.

Creepy blue eyes.

We played in Vegalite which is a vegan restaurant. You know the food was really good...

Hanging out.

Green beer!

Whitehorse were fuckin' heavy this night.

Great band and even greater dudes!

Group photo madness...

So this was our last day...and we party as it is our last day on earth.

After the Vegalite was closed we roam in the town.

We went to a reggae party that was in some industrial building.

It was already morning when we left the party.

Things were going all well...

...but then Vita jumped on Marko and he fell with his face on the pavement. Luckily he just scratched his face.

First aid at Radkas place. She was our host and she is the best host we had. She was patient and helpful with all our shit and chaos. TNX :***

Cute cats at her place.

Leaving home.

Vita took care of  Markos wounds. And this is how the tour ended. We had a blast and tnx again to everyone.

We are recording for the new record. now we just need to do the vocals and then the mixing and mastering. The record should be out in September. WE ALSO NEED LABELS TO HELP US OUT SO DROP US AN E-MAIL IF YOU WANNA HELP: [email protected]

L/HHB

DAY 2

Eisenberg was a long  ride! 9 hours but when we came there it made it worth! The food was delicious and all the familiar faces just made our day!

We share stage with a band that was cool but we forgot the name...Our set was also fun, maybe on of our favorite shows on the tour.

VF were grate that night and they were getting better every gig. They definitely need more shows to become a top shit bend...any way they are on its way!

The set list we did + weed! we asked for some weed during our set and a guy gave it to as in 10 seconds. haha.

Selling merch was kinda hard on this tour...

Most of us were ignorant and we thought that summer time is all over EU...well we were wrong so we were freezing asses that night. Volo praying for light..

Epic breakfast! Thank you soo much Eisenberg! one of the best place in the DIY community in the whole word!

WAKE UP DICKHEAD!!

Off to Berlin!

DAY 2

We came preatty early so we went for a walk, for ice cream and for a coffee/beer. Lea was our guide :***

Neven also came by to hang out. Tnx for the sweet weed ;P

The gig in Berlin was really awkward because the folks were really apathetic so we didn't know if they liked our set or not.. Still the crew in Scharni38 was great. The place is huge and well organized!

Latter that night...

DAY 3

A nice week start. It happened on our way to Holland.

In Groningen we meet up with Livia Sura and Hazarder. Rad dudes and duddetss! Well this show for Livia Sura was really weird, but the next days they kicked ass really hard. Their drummer was the funnest guy on the tour, also he is a notorious member od the Thief Sindicate!

Well we were in NL so we party really hard. This photo is blurred as were our minds! The 2 dudes in the front are the guys from 6mas from CZ. They were fun!

One with the dogs!

Los Bosanđeros!

Hazarder!

DAY 4

  This is Pirat Bar in Hague. One of the places that inspired us most! It is still illigal!

Like on a catwalk....

The yummy food! tnx to the crew!

It was still day light when the firs band started to play.

Hazarder are really heavy!

Volo and Batarello selling stuff.

Pirates at Pirate bar!

Coffee in the morning...it was a nice and sunny day in Hague!

Danilo was drumming in Hazarde but he is also one of the dudes who are active in the punk collective in Rijeka.

Bogdan and Aurash chillin'.

We went for a walk in the center of Hague.

Hague has a china town...just so you know, because we didn't. Lots of exotic shops.

DAY 5 

So Belgium was a chaos just like the name of the festival Chaos Bar fest! The place where we were supposed to play got evicted a day before the festival. So they squated a new/old place. Huge respect to the punx that made it happen. Everything was delayed and no one really know what was going on, who will give the gear and so. This was also one of the reasons why everything ended so late. Actually just Luka and Vita went to sleep in the van. The rest partied till 7 in the morning and helper the punx to clean the place. We left straight to Switzerland...

There weren't that many people on the festival, which was u bummer for the promoter and for the bands.

Aurash is the man! He was seriously wounded in an accident this February. He had a fucked up operation on his right knee, but manage to come on tour. On some day his knee was really swollen, but luckily nothing serious.

DAY 6

Laussane is one of our favorite places! This is a new place where they are doing shows.

They forgot to put Void Forger on the poster...hehe! This was probably the best gig we had. Really nice folks and the party was great!

Oh yeah the food...damn soo good! They had a vegan dinner upstairs in the infoshop. Punx in SWI are really well organized and there are lots of squats all over the country.

We played with Zaprti Odelek from Sl.Bistrica. That's soo crazy when you meet people that you don't really know and are from your country in a squat in Switzerland. They are all great dudes, but Šunko is the best...mmm the pink bunny. They were on tour with Shaid, which were one of the best bands that we shared the stage, insane grind/PV! Zaprti Odelek are a new band with a fresh 7" split with Nulla Osta! CHECK IT OUT!

Luka woke everyone up with a nice folk song....NOT!

Le crew! Hope we can play more shows with Zaprti Odelek and Shaid in a near future! We really had the time of our life!

DAY 7

The second day in Bremgarten was also cool. Well the show was ok, but we were honored to play in one of the oldest squats in SWI and of course it was huge!

We shared stage with Spectres from Canada and Bi-MArks from Portland.

DAY 8

On our way to Milan. There was a huge traffic jam and we lost 2 hours in it. That's the stop before we left SWI.

The Squat in Milano! The gig was in a small room and you clould hear everything out! This was The Blackened Spring Fest done by the amazing Queens Of Chaos :***

Punx in the park!

Our drummers being thought and shit!

DAI CAZZOOO! Dado as a thresh metal kid!

Ok that's it. There are lots more stories to tell about the tour. Over all we had fun. VF are rad dudes and they will be a big band soon! Thanx to everyone who helped us out in any way.We are truly amazed and honored to be a part of the DIY punk scene!

We will play a show in Venje on 17.5. with  Hellcrowler and IAMDISESE:

Viva!

Day 2 Timisoara

The next morning we chilled a bit and went for a walk. Laci was our tourist guide, hehe. The trip to Timisoara was one of the short ones. So we took it easy and everything went smooth. We had the address of Ionut in Timisoara and me and Jaka knew how the neighborhood look like because we slept there with Melete. Ionut and his friend Negru(or something like that, I know that his name means “the black one”) served us some food and than we left for the DIY Atelier. DIY Atelier is a rad place where the crew is doing shows. It is a small rehearsal room/infoshop. Again I was excited because Livia Sura played with us. Be sure to check Livia Sura they are amazing, think of some experimental BM with a anarchist stance. It was Sunday so there weren't that many people. Still it was fun to play and we had fun dancing on the Devastated set!

We didn't have much highways on our trip.

The boys playing Chi Fa Meno!

Prunes made the difference, we didn't loose the voice!

Livia Sura

Day 3 Bukaresta

The ride to Bukaresta was one of the longest. We spent more than 8 hours in the van. We got lost a couple of times. GPS didn't work properly. It was hot and we were exhausted. The place where we played was Underworld and we already played there with HHB. Again I was excited because this time we were sharing stage with Void Forger. Another promising bend from Romunia. They played first and everyone was surprised how good they were. They were also really nice folks. Devastated nailed it again! When we played the crowd went ape shit! This was the best gig we ever played so far. After the gig we went to a place that was a semi squat. That means that some buildings were squatted and for some they were paying rent. They had a anarchist library, a small bar a nice garden, some ateliers, That part of the night was super nice. We were sitting around the fire and were smoking blunt after blunt after blunt,....haha. No, seriously it was a nice night, lots of rad folks, nice talks, good cheep wine.

Bwahahah

No GPS=Old School!

Short brake somewhere along the road.

Nice road.

Stadler you faild us.

We sold shitloads of stuff at teh gig.

Void Forger!

Awesome party.

Yummy

That dude was rolling splifs all the night. Rispekt!

EXPLAIN THIS! A crippled piegon in a cage. I was mind blown when I saw it!

Day 4 Varna

We were supposed to play in Istambul, but it got canceled, so we decided to go in Bulgaria and go swimming in the Black sea. We choose Varna! The GPS wasn't working so we improvised with an old map and our instinct. Our road took as to a crazy border crossing. First we went on a raft...yes it was a raft not a ferry. It looked scary! The trip was long but it worth it! It was a nice sunny day and and the water was cold. We were the only one who went swimming and the folks there were looking at us like we were nuts. Well I think it is not common to see 9 dudes with long hair and dreads jumping in the water and screaming, hahah. So we were having fun on the beach and then two dudes came close to us and start staring at us. We said hello, they said hello and ask if we are a band. We said yes, and they asked us if we wanna play in a rock bar. Honestly we were super skeptical about it, but then they took as to the bar and it was really professional. Well you can't decline a last minute gig, so we played. It was fun. People showed up. We even got a few free beers. And everything was recorded and streamed on-line. After the gig me and Alen went on the mission to find a spot on the beach where we can set a fire and cook food, and also where we can sleep. That night was really nice. 9 crusties around a fire, making food, drinking warm beer, the sound of the waves caressing the sand beach. A true post apocalyptic scenario. Ha!

Wat di fak?

I like to sing songs about Dado and his sexual life.

Fuck yeah! It was cold but it felt super nice after the long ride.

Thrasher!

Bulgarian čevapi

Post-apocaliptic crust pik-nik. Even Kenshiro would be proud.

There was a lot of sand in our food.

Sleeping on the beach.

The dawn!

Wild dogs approaching.

Day 5 Sofia

We woke up early and left for Sofia. We had another long ride in front of us. I was pretty psyched so visit Sofia, for the first time and we were also sharing stage with UHL a french anarchist BM bend. The venue where we played was really professional. Mitko was doing the show for us. They brought lots of delicious food, but the best thing ware the chocolate balls, insanely yummy! We went for a walk to see the town center. The night was long, six bands played. We were playing last which is usually a bummer because everyone leaves. I this case the kids stayed and they went nuts on our set. After the gig we went at Mitko's place with the french dudes. Some of us went to slip and some went for a walk.

Wild horse.

Our world!

UHL!!

Circle pit on our set. Probably the first time that a circle pit hapened while we were playing

Day 6 Skopje

The ride to Skopje wasn't a long one so we went to see more stuff in the city center. Mitko and his girlfriend took us to the Asian part of town. We went for a Turkish coffee and some of us did some shopping. We even got our van clamped, but it was no drama since it costs only 5€ to un-clamp the van. After that little accident we drove to Skopje. This was our first border crossing out of EU. We got ATA carnet so we weren't afraid but I was stressed out as usual. The border crossing was ok, no major problems. Skopje is one of my favorite cities in the Balkans, so I was excited to be back in Skopje and hang out with the dudes from FPO! Vasko took us to the super marker because me and Jaka wanted to buy vegan cheese. We did so and each of us got 7,5 kg of vegan cheese! Vegan pizza to the next level for a few months, FTW. The gig started early it was in La Kaňa, in the Asian part of town. The gig was ok. After that we went for a walk, we so the huge statue of Alexander the Great. The city hall is spending shit loads of money on state buildings, but the citizens are living in poverty. It got a decent impact on us seeing all these money spent on worthless buildings.

Coffee time with Mittko and his GF.

yummy!

No problem! Only 5€ pfff

Good buisness.

After the Bulgarian-Makedonian borde.

Vasko helping us out with picking up the right vegan cheese.

The good part of touring...

...and the bad part of touring.

Skopje crew!

Tr00 musicians!

Day 7 Zrenjanin

Another long trip plus the border, but everything went smooth. Zrenjanin has a rad crew of folks. I was there with Gods and Queens and everyone was excited to see me. It felt a bit weird but I was happy to hang out with really great folks who are giving everything for the scene even when they don't have much. After two years I met again Luka from Kikinda. He is running a distro and providing punk records for the scene. He is also working at Cimos on a CNC machine. He is doing a job for two and his paycheck is circa 200€. Here in Koper you are probably payed twice much more. His stories made me feel really bad and it just made me realized that my life isn't shitty at all. We share stage with Spark from Hungary. They are super nice dudes! I met them two years ago when they played in Pivka and Ljubljana. They play fast HC and somehow they remind me of Comadre. Devastated killed it again! We were in Srbija so we got drunk with rakija. Dujc, Dado, Fofo and Marko were out all the night and went to sleep around 8AM.

Chillin'

WTF??

Eating čevapi.

Play hard...

...pose harder!

Day 8 Sarajevo

Fucking hell of a ride! 7 hours of crazy roads. I've lost my nerves on the border crossing. The customers didn't know how to do the ATA carnet on both sides. Finally we came to Sarejevo. There was the full moon rising above the mountains and the minarets on horizons were so epic. Sarajevo is my favorite city in the Balkans, so I was excited again...you see I get easily excited. Tarik did the show for us. He is one of my dearest friends so I was happy to see him again. He is running a noise label called Mrtvaja! We came late and there was a misunderstanding....the show was supposed to start at 21h but we were told that is ok if it starts at 22h, so some of us went to eat something. The owner was pretty pissed because everything started late. Tarik was doing the show with another friend and because he both were busy doing other thing I helped them with the doors. When Devastated played there were lots of young kids, but when we played everyone went home, because the trams stopped running at 23h. Any way we were already exhausted so we sucked. After the gig we went to party in a pub where hipsters were handing out. I got totally drunk so I danced the whole night. Haha. Everyone was fucked, except for Jaka who is sXe and he drove the van to Visoko where Tarik lives and where we were sleeping.

Soooo wasted!

A short stop on our way to Sarajevo.

We've been in the van the whole day and these are some moments of insanity.

Eating the all mighty Krompiruša!

Outside the pub.

Day 9 the way home

Visoko is the place in Bosnia where you can see the Bosnian pyramids! We went back to Sarajevo and did some tourist stuff like buying gifts, eating burek and čevapi. The way home was a huge pain in the ass, because the police was on strike there was a never ending line to cross the border. It took us 4 hours to enter croatia. Then everithing went smooth and we were back home, back to our boring lives,....

We slept just for 4 hours and went back to Sarajevo.

Tarik was sad so see us leave.

Bosnians Piramids! No shit, true piramids, ages before egipt.

Eating krompiruša again!

That kid was singing traditional songs.

Thats is!

We are playing on a festivali in Karlovac on the 22.6.
