Head's Hate Blog!

I’ve painstakingly gone through and swapped out the lo-res images with higher res versions. Now when you click on an image, a bigger one magically appears.
Same content and photos, just easier to see what’s going on in the photos now.

Innsbruck was great! My voice managed to come back during the sound check. The crowd kept us up on stage way longer than we planned but we finally wore them out. A great ending to the tour. Thanks to Chris and Hank for everything and The Reekys for playing. Big thanks to Franz and Diego for setting everything up. Those guys are the best. Most of all thank you to all the people who came out to see us. We hope to see you again in the future!

Another lengthy drive today. We dropped Simoni, the Photogenics bass player who came with us to La Spezia from Villadossala off in Brescia before heading to the hotel.
This was the most iffy show of the tour because we were opening for two metal/hardcore bands. When we saw their sound checks we were even more concerned, not just because they play a different genre of music than us, but because they can all really play! We’re a bunch of hacks. The guys in A Willhelm Scream couldn’t have been nicer. Low and behold we wound up playing the best show of the tour. We dodged a bullet! We headed back to the hotel and went to bed.

Inside the club

We did a sound check as soon as we got into town after the long drive from Villadossala. Diego dropped us off at the hotel for a few hours before heading back to the club for pizza with the High School Dropouts who we were opening the show. Skaletta Rock Club is owned by Diego as well. His brother Fabio did a great job on sound. Pretty good turnout for a weeknight. My voice is still pretty rough so Giacomo from High School Dropouts bailed me out and sang “Tireshedding”.

Franz had to go do shows with his band so he left us in the capable hands of his business partner Diego. We walked around Genova for a few hours during which it started to rain. This turned out to be a god blessing because it gave me the opportunity to purchase an Italian umbrella from one the local vendors for five euros. We left Genova and high-balled it to Villadossala. The Titty Twister is a nice club. We stayed in the bunker above the club. We were fortunate to play with the Photogenics again. My voice is starting to go out so some songs had to be cut from the list. Thankfully Davida from The Photogenics came up to sing “Tireshedding” since there was no chance I could. Low turnout but it was still fun.
