13.09.2013 Kansas City, MO@ Aftershock

We arrived at the club pretty late. There were 6 bands playing that night so there was no time for soundcheck. The turnout was not so good but ALL Metal Hearts went really crazy by the stage! A true massacre! The show went great and we played “God is Dead” and “Sword of the Witcher” – with Brian singing – for encore. Then there was crazy vodka afterparty by our bus (local “moonshine” was really delicious). I am from Poland (city Bialystok) so I had fun till the very end. I hope the rest had fun too… Horns up for them today 😉

It was really unlucky on Friday 13th. I was feeling bad since very morning. Whole body hurts, sore throat … it must have been cold. I hate to be sick on tour! I started to cure myself immediately with a good old DayQuil. It helped a bit and at least I was able to play the show. I was siting the whole time in the bus. Shawnee by Kansas City is not a big city. Nobody expected anything special there. There were a great turnout that night, though. Enough to make nice moshpit for the whole show. I heard Russian language too (“Kryliaaaaaaa!!!”…which means “Wings”) . Great show, good sound and wild crowd 😉 My old Friend Doug visited me this evening too. We toured together in the past , when he was yet bass player for Origin. We have same hobby as well: II WW and reenactment groups. Doug was playing a gunner in famous “Saving Prv. Ryan”. After the gig we were chatting a bit (also with Toni and Brian) in the bus. No alcohol for me this night! The other guys but went totally opposite way though ;))) We got some gallons of local moonshine. It was DONE! Yet in the morning I saw dead people laying on couches ;)) And I went straight to my warm bed. Direction St.Louis tomorrow…
