SOUND STORM European Tour - 10th Dec: BUDAPEST




Yesterday it was the turn of 202 Club in Budapest, we arrived quite early and we had the chance to make a walk in the city center, and it was not easy to figure out how to reach it, because no one spoke English! 

I must say that the downtown is really nice and we also found Christmas markets, full of traditional food and stalls. We also went to Hard Rock Cafè to buy some t-shirts and then came back to the venue: this is a very particular club, all made by wood and it's great for sounds.

SOUND STORM European tour - 07th/08th Dec: WARSAW & WROCLAW

9th December 2013

Photo from first live in Krakow
I am in Vienna, today we have a day off in the beautiful Austrian capital after three dates in Poland. After Krakow we reached the Klub Stodola in Warsaw,  in snow and frost. I was impressed by the huge backstage divided into several floors, with several relaxation rooms, catering, bathrooms with showers , wifi ... I'm honest , I've never seen a backstage so beautiful, really amazing! The concert hall was larger than Krakow, already crowded when we went on stage: another positive gig, with an audience initially a bit calm but then they reacted very well to our concert.

EVENOIRE - Day 2 and 3: drums done!!



The second day of drums recordings here at Dreamsound Studios in Munich was very intense, Daniele recorded 4 more songs, we were in the studio from 10 am to 9 pm, but a good work is coming out. Dejan Djukovic works with big precision, and I'm sure that it's gonna be a great record! 
Today it's sunny, we are still in the studio in order to finish the last song and the bonus track, in the afternoon Daniele should have finished everything, then we will sadly take the way home...but a European tour is waiting for me :)
