Pt. 6: Klaipeda


Bus driver = superman. 5800 km. There's nothing more to add. Superman.


Fridge from hell.


Klaipeda is a beautiful, relatively large city on the shore of Baltic Sea.


When we came to the venue, construction workers and electricians were finalising the interior, dust was settling down and later in the evening UNSHINE played as the first band ever there!



Madness & insanity!!!

Pt. 5: Warsaw


The stage of Progresja was the biggest on tour.


Yo man!


The beast and the beauty.


The beauty and the basist.


Progresja also had the largest backstage we've ever seen.


17 people in a same bus for 8 days = inhumanity.

Pt. 4: Prague


In Prague temperature was pretty high but we soon found out that we are not going to suffer from dehydration.


Czech sausages rule!


Our name is still written smaller than Jethro Tull's...


On the road, sleep wherever there is a possibility to do so!


Soundcheck at Bunkr, a great club for playing, tube-like walls must be at least from medieval times, atmospheric & mystic!

Pt. 3: Berlin



Approaching Berlin (at this time, temperature in the back of the bus reached mythical numbers, +45C).



Berlin - schnitzel heaven.


Jartsa at the gate of Knaack (Berlin - döner kebap heaven).


Building musical towers at Knaack.


The running order (Berlin - female-fronted music heaven).

Pt. 2: Frankfurt (Oder)


Girls on the road!


Boys on the road!


The backstage at Gewölbe was so good that it has grown almost mythical in our memories. Meat soup had so much meat that there was hardly space for 1 potato and 1/2 carrot.


On the way to Berlin: Stibe and Teemal are waiting for the german truck driver breakfast.
