BULEMICS EURO TOUR REPORT PART ONE...


Note: While writing this I'm getting drunk on Pilsner Urquell (best beer in the world!) and listening to some fuckin' crank metal (fuckin' BOULDER!! ) , so i don't give a flying fuck if there are language mistakes in this brief report...if you mind about that ....screw yourself !

Note II : I've forgotten a lot of important things for sure and some of the crazy shit we did can't be written down here ...so don't expect the most detailed report ever, it just wants to be a way to me to say thanks to some people and fuck off to some others.

BULEMICS - EUROPEAN INVASION 2009

This tour was fuckin AWESOME !!! Lots of beer, free drugs, teenage women and great food everywhere we went, I couldn't ask for anything better, but as you'll read soon it wasn't all candies and flowers, we went thru lots of bullshit...but again this tour ruled ...possibly the best tour i've ever done!

Some people were afraid of these guys because of their reputation of troublemakers...
i know some clubs didn't book them because of that (especially in Germany).... well, i've been touring since almost 10 years now and the Bulemics were the coolest fellas I've ever toured with (together with my brothers from Chicago BIBLE OF THE DEVIL )...not only all of us got along great (a rare thing especially from bands oversea, some of them like to fight and moan like pussies all the time) but everywhere we went people fuckin loved them beyond imagination... and you know why ? because they were cool & funny as hell with everyone and more important these guys PARTY! Everynight was big fuckin party with the Bulemics, even if there few shows with few people we made our own fuckin party!

ZURICH (SWITZERLAND) : First show of the tour! We were all excited as hell, the drive from Torino to Zurich was awesome, traveling all across the Swiss Alps...Josh was out of his mind....there's no shit like that in Texas! We were still all hungover from the night before in Torino, especially Gerry (i gave him some pills 2 hours after he landed and he was fucked up for almost 2 days), but we just couldn't stop having a good time in the van !
The show in this cool squat called Kalkbreite was really really good, and really packed (especially being a Wednesday night) ! Thanks a lot Tom you did a fantastic job!

DARMSTADT (GERMANY) : This is my favourite city in Germany for playing... Today was also Gerry's birthday, so that was a good reason to get more wasted than the night before, in fact that's what we did!!! We got a great BBQ dinner, and they played with the mighty Gasoliners! Great fuckin band! If you don't know them check these guys, its Sikko's (from Nothing But Puke) new band. They played a bunch of originals and covers of Antiseen, Wretched Ones and Poison Idea! Bulemics kicked ass! After the show Chris from Incognito Records played some great punk records all night, then we all went to sleep in this sort of punk squat castle ... unbelievable!

VERVIERS (BELGIUM) : This show was a lot of fun, met lots of cool people (among all Captain Catastrophy and Alex that traveled from Uk for this show)....BUT unfortunately my memory of this cool drunk friday night has been ruined by the fact that :
WE DIDN'T GET PAID! WE HAD A GOOD GUARANTEE, THE BIGGEST OF THE WHOLE TOUR...SO THIS REALLY SUCKED! ALL DETAILS WITH NAMES WILL BE REVEALED IF I DON'T GET THE FUCKIN MONEY SOON(THAT I PAID OUT OF MY POCKET TO THE BULEMICS CAUSE BEING THE PROMOTER/TOUR MANAGER I TOOK MY RESPONSIBILITY...TAKE YOURS !) ...DON'T FUCK US MAN, CAUSE WE WILL FUCK YOU BACK !

GRONINGEN (NETHERLANDS) : As we are reaching Groningen a lovely and very relaxing city in the north of The Netherlands (fuck Amsterdam Groningen is THE SHIT!)our van is acting and sounding weird...Its getting really noisy and I'm getting paranoid that we will never finish the tour with this old piece of junk (which was so old and fucked up that was a lot of fun to drive by the way), but somehow we made it to Groningen...The bar where they played on this first Saturday night of the tour is called CROWBAR, and its a fuckin great place run by two awesome ladies! This show was a drunken party all night and also the first night we met The Capaces from Spain!
This band fronted by a wild girl named Martha is FUCKIN INCREDIBLE, buy all their shit, possibly the best PUNK band in Europe at the moment!(and we had a second show with them the day after!)During the Bulemics set people was getting so wild that beer was spilled everywhere and fucked the mixer! What a great night...

KOLN (GERMANY) : Its a long way back to Germany....if you travel on a fucked up van! Now i was getting seriously worried about the whole van situation...it was now official that it will not last much longer. I could only drive on 4th gear which is pretty crazy! Arrived at the club the soundman from The Capaces that knew a lot about cars tried to fix our van for a couple of hours...Thanks hermano! Unfortunately the van was way more fucked that we could even imagine...The club tonight was the Sonic Ballroom one of Europe's leading clubs for real Rock'n'Roll!! Great place with room upstairs (my favourites so I don't have to drive after the shows and i can get F.U.B.A.R.), and the bartenders are cool as hell! Again another great show by The Capaces, that drove back to Spain at the end of the night! Bulemics did a good show, but people seemed scared of Gerry. Was also cool to see my buddy Manuel from Cargo Records, and we got really drunk together!

EDE (NETHERLANDS) : We arrived in Ede a small village in the south of Holland driving below 80 km/h, the van is totally fucked up, but today is national holyday so there's nothing we can do about it ... better getting high in a coffee shop !!! The show tonight was really funny, Bulemics played in front of a weird audiance made of local barflies and farmers more than punk rockers....and they scared the shit out f them! People was seriously frightened of them and everyone stayed in the back....haha...the aftershow was another drunken mess!

ARNHEM (NETHERLANDS) : Today we took the van to a mechanic, we still hoped it could be fixed....Our next show was supposed to be in Arnhem, only 20 minutes drive from Ede, but we still had to figure out how to get there since we were without van....our new friends from Ede J-P, Joke and Debora arranged 2 cars and a horse-trailer (!!!!!) to take all of us and the gear to Arnhem, it was a pain in the ass, but we didn't wanna miss the show...and right when we were ready to leave we got a phone call from the club in Arnhem telling us that the show was cancelled for BULLSHIT reasons....I don't wanna go into details cause I don't really care anymore but this really sucked, especially cause the promoter never contacted me to explain or apologize.....so we decided to stay in Ede, we had a BBQ and we went to see horses fucking which was one of the highlights of the tour.... Arnhem kiss my ass!

ANTWERP (BELGIUM) : We woke up
late in the morning and we got the news from the mechanic that the van is really fucked up and it could take weeks to be fixed , so we decided to leave it in Ede and rent a new one...We spent like 2 hours on the phone trying to get a new one the same day and finally we found a company that had one avaible.....TO BE CONTINUED..... MAYBE ...
