apart from it being very cool to be uncool, here is another spectacular reason for you to make it to the gig tomorrow (saturday 19th june 2010 at after dark)…
it will be air-conditioned heaven and a welcome relief from the heatwave that has descended on greece. i know, i know… you’re currently flopping about at home, sweating like a world cup footballer and thinking that you will never be able to move more than two inches away from your fan and that bucket of ice-cubes. the good news is that, in the interests of doing our bit for global warming, the venue we are playing at is deliciously cold. last time we played there in the summer, i actually had to ask them to turn the air-conditioning down a bit because i was freezing my tits off.
as with all bad mathematics gigs, we are battling against various factors to get people through the doors tomorrow. a heatwave, the effing football and now we find out that it’s the european music weekend, with free concerts all over the city in local squares.
no wonder we were invited to play! we’re probably the only band in athens that can guarantee a gaggle of hard-drinking, rowdy wasters, even when confronted by this tidal wave of alternative events.
so let’s prove that we have pulling power, my adorable readers (all three of you now!). on with the bikinis (suggestions for boys over here. warning: not for the faint-hearted) and head down to after dark… where the drinks are cool and the music is cooler (in an uncool kind of way).
This hard-drinking, rowdy waster, will have to make do with the effing football, but wishes he were there 🙁
if the boys are wearing THOSE, i’d better charge my camera … 😉
This not-so-hard-drinking, rowdy waster would love to be there in all her bikini’d glory (or sans bikini perhaps, if the last few posts on fb are any indication of the direction the gig will be heading!) if not for the fact that she’s glued to a couch in the antipodes cuddling her puppy in a desperate attempt for neither of them to freeze!
@ tsaksonakis, wish you could be here too. not long ’til you will be able to make it to one of our naked, drunken, music fests
@tamzinaki, it would be an eye full wouldn’t it ?!!!!!!! :-S
@shirin, wish you were here too. kisses to you and puppy
