North American tour

with Chimaira, God Forbid and Through The
Eyes Of The Dead in March-April 2006.

March 21st 2006
Towson, Maryland, USA

First three shows have been great. We had no expectations really when we came here cos we've been touring here so much that we thought nobody would show up. But it's been great. New Haven, I've never seen so many stage divers. That was really cool. Thanks for everybody in Toad's Place. New Jersey show was great, too. So many people and so great crowd. Yesterday Norfolk, Virginia was good too. Well, it gets boring just saying good things about crowds here, but it's true, what can I say.

Alexi did throw up on stage during the first show. It was just cos of the hot temperature and exhaustion, nothing serious, dont worry. The other night Jaska had to stay up all night puking too. He got food poisoned really bad. Of course yesterday he was really weak, hardly could hold the sticks, but i think he pulled it off well, the show I mean.

Today, Maryland, we've never been here before, so lets see how it's gonna be.

Nice dayoff yesterday. Drinking redwine in a jazzclub, watching and listening the local band. The dude with the sax was good. Rhode Island, Toronto, Columbus, Cleveland and Pittsburgh are behind. Good shows. Some of them not totally packed but lots of people anyway. Thanks for that.

Toronto show was one of the best we've ever had. We've never been to Rhode Island before so we were surprised to see so many people. Ohio, we have skipped this one on last tours and now it was good to be back. Happy gettogether with Chimaira boys in Cleveland. Thanks for the wet t-shirt event Matt!!!! We got to know the Through The Eyes boys and God Forbid's dudes a little better. Good times, good times.

What a crowd in Pittsburgh! The stage was small and the sound was terrible but the crowd was still totally crazy. I wonder why many bands skip Pittsburgh area nowadays!
