So, now we have arrived to the United States of America (a.k.a USA or Uvesa) and we are having a good time hangin out in Pittsburgh.
Let me run down a good day in the Pitts for you! You wake up pretty early and get your ass to the local supplier of sandwiches then you order a cu p of coffee ‘to go’. This way you can walk around doin some sight seeing at the same time as you become a human being!
Then you stroll through the streets of Pittsburgh lookin at the beautiful houses and make jokes about how it would be to live there.
Then the day makes a turn on you as you decide to celebrate the nice weather with a couple of twelvepacks of Blue Ribbon! Get your Uno deck of cards out in the sun and cheer the day away!
Burn your skin in the sun and then go and buy some guitars! Jocke: ‘Fender Telecaster for me!’ Kalle: ‘ I think I’ll have one of those also!’
Then you get your hair cut and then you buy some more beers!

Hey boys & girls!
We’ve made it back to Sweden after our 2 week European tour and man did we have a good time! The Italian heat was crazy, we’re talking 40 degrees Celsius, can’t believe that we were still standing after the shows but somehow we managed, haha. Sooo many good memories that I can’t even tell you half of it so I wont even try,but some of the highlights have been; amazing garlicshots and pizzasauce shots at Subway to Peter’s in Chemnitz, The best dirty burgers ever at White trash fast food in Berlin, Drinking wine in the car, The Italian pig that we bought, The highly advanced lottery system we had for who was gonna drive the car next day, The Italian pasta, Meeting old friends and new, Having a day off in Italy at the beautiful mountain-spring, and of course all the people coming to the shows. Thank you goes out to everyone coming to the shows and everyone involved with booking us.
A special thank you goes out to the Italian mafia consisting of: Astrid, Franz, Bruno, Silva and Lorenzo! A huge thank you also goes out to: Olivier, Kathi and the Chemnitz boys! And finally, thank you Robert from Kissnrun bookings!
Now we’re gonna enjoy the swedish summer,
Later,
Jocke
In and out . . . Every night . . .

If you’re a compulsive cellphone user you should really considering making it sound more good and download the song Crocodiles as a ringtone . . .
