Okay, as some of you noticed i am driving to england tomorrow and we are playing in following Citys i listed below! I hope some of you have some shopping guides for Pedals and Guitars, places to eat really good (i really want to eat deep fried mars bar for example) and some other cool hints! When you are living near a show i need your first and last name and i will try to put you on the guestlist of an event and i also try to get you a free beer ;-)

Get yourself up to Edinburgh, thats where you get really healthy food like deep-fried mars bars.
;)



Looks like this is in scottland and i think this is not really near to any of our venues... ;-( Is it true that i can get everything fried in scottland?! From Fried Pizza to Fried Candy Bars?!?!

be prepared for stoke to be a bit lame. the venue you're playing's pretty decent, and has had a good crowd whenever i've been, but the eating and drinking might let you down. there's one music store i can think of and it's sound control, the worst chain store in the UK. but if you're hankering for some shopping time it's not too far from the venue.

that said, i've not been there in several years and never explored a great deal when i was there, so maybe i'm just wrong. but i'm not sure too many people round that way post here so thought i'd offer my limited knowledge just in case it's the only knowledge!

good luck with the tour.

Guitar Amp Keyboard is worth wandering around in....might be too expensive and not really have your sort of stuff (Pedal wise), though.

 

The Laines (its an area of shops) have loads of tatoo and piercing parlours, in particular, Penetration, which is my cousin's place, and odd clothing shops.

 

Take a walk a long the pier and get fish and chips.

 

Sea Life Centre is a little overpriced....

Of course we deep fry everything here, pizza, pies, mars bars, cheeseburgers.. you name it, the local Chippy will probably fry it for you.


We are not the heart disease capital in Europe for nothing.
:lol:



This must be heaven! Fried Pies and Burgers unbelievable...
What about fried Tomatos, Strawberries or an Openhaus???:poke: :p

Hey I'm from TBC, awesome!

 

But seriously. I played in Swansea last weekend and the whole town was dead. I swear live music is dying a death in wales. And musicians are kind of banking on live music what with the internet slaughtering record sales etc.

Hey youre playing Bristol with my friends Burning Skies. The croft is a great venue and Skies always pull a good crowd as its their home show. If you want some cheap grub around the Croft you got to check out Rita's for a very dirty but amazing kebab. A good guitar shop to check out in Bristol is Electric Ladyland.

 

Hope you enjoy Bristol, its a rad city.

Cool we played with burning skies some month ago in Hamburg and Frankfurt! The only thing i am remember is "I am the Rat Lord" ;-)

 

Great guys and hopfully we could buy a Ton of Mary Jane from them for the ongoing tour...

 

Maybe we could check out Electric Ladyland and the Ritas Kebab....
