After heavy touring for the past two months we have time to stop and look back for a moment. Behind us is the most intense tour of the Czech Republic ever, and ahead of us are few shows in Slovakia and a bit of autumn works in the garden (yes, the figs are still ripening). Those who have not seen us for a while can check out Shina's new image and Dano's new hat in the gallery from the beautiful show at the Blues Alive festival in Šumperk (see post below). If we were to give awards for the revelation of the year, it would go to the Icebreaker clothes (www.icebreaker.com), made from wool of New zealand's merino sheep. Shina on the photos is 100% Icebreaker, Dano just in the invisible pars for the moment :)

Práve sme skončili šnúru po čechách v októbri sme prekonali niekoľko svojich rekordov :
- počet koncertov za mesiac (22)
- počet koncertov bez prestávky (6)
- počet kilometrov vlakom (4858)
Najviac sa tešíme sa z nových ľudí ktorých sme na cestách stretli a zo situácií, ktoré nám pomohli prekonať samých seba. Kráčame ďalej, pokračujeme na Slovensku - v stredu pokrstíme album našim kamarátom zo skupiny City v Popradskom Cafe Razy (a zahráme pár pesničiek len tak s gitarou), Vo štvrtok Tabačka Košice, v sobotu Christiania Poprad.

==========

Just finished our October tour of CZ with 22 shows, traveled 4858 km by train. Looking forward to doing few shows in Slovakia later this week.

"... Entretemps, on avait filé au 22 Est/Ouest découvrir Longital, duo de Bratislava chaleureusement recommandé par un collègue qui les avait vu la veille. Shina Lo (chant, basse), Daniel Salontay (chant, guitare, archet) et Xi Di Nim (ordinateur mutant) nous ont bien cabossé avec les musiques claudicantes et chaotiques de leur album Irjprava/Le voyage. Découvrez les sur www. Myspace.com/longital, c'est remuant (à l'intérieur) comme Les Rita Mitsouko et beau comme The Do..."

We had the most beautiful time here in Bourges. Big thanks to all of you all who attended our shows. Special thanks also to organizers for inviting us to Bourges and scheduling us unexpectedly for another MAMa showcase at the next day!

It was our very first time at Le Printemps de Bourges and we had most exciting and wonderful time here, being blown away by the bands and the athmosphere. Hope to be back again.

Much love from both of us,

Daniel
