Well, I just returned back home after another 3 hour car drive. The festival lasts till tomorrow night. So what happened?
First of all, thanks birdie for your well wishes! I really apreciate it
Second, no, Harmanic did not play live at the Summer Nights Open Air 2009. Why? Because they weren't prepared for extremely bad weather, with heavy rains and hurricane like wind (up to speeds of 130km/h). We arrived there on Thursday evening. While we raised our tents, the rain set in. Then during the night, the heavy wind joined the falling raind. Both stages, the mainstage and the 2nd stage were severly damaged, so the complete timetable of the first festival day was changed and every single band got rescheduled. They had to rebuild both stages completely. Four bands were completely canceled out, on of them was us, Harmanic. So, we were really upset, pissed of and most of all just plainly sad. There's no one to blame for the weather though...
We quickly decided to drown ourselves in booze, so no wonder that I still got a sore throat. We tried to enjoy the first festival day somehow. Kataklysm is an awesome live band! Today in the morning the sun was shining brightly, like on a perfect festival day. Again the disappointment set in and me and some other folks of our party decided to get our asses back to Vienna. So we just bailed. Couldn't pretend to be all happy and enjoying the festival. Well, everything happens for a reason right?
At least the promoters told us, we'll work something out together to make up for all of this. Maybe a fixed slot on next years festival. We'll see...
OH, and btw: FUCK FUCK FUUUUCK!
Sorry, I needed to get that out of my system. *sighs*
Oh, and of course, ON TOPIC:
Unfortunately I still don't have the ABaT shirt :( And I have not yet performed with that self printed first shirt that was available (after the shirts of the self titled album design were sold out). That one got kinda small somehow. Or my size increased somehow :P
