We are on the road somewhere in the French countryside travelling back to Paris, with Sasufi and the Dharma Bums, after our show last night in Nantes.
Its only 8:30 am and we have been driving for 2 hours. The car is well and truly packed and it’s my turn to squish into the non-seat in between the equipment. My back is nicely cramped, my left leg has got pins and needles in it and I have no way of shaking it out.
Inside the car has gone quiet, looking at the angle at which everybody’s heads are crooked I’d say all but Nick C.(who is driving) has passed out. I’m watching Damian fight hard to keep his head on top of his shoulders. It keeps falling sharply to one side then quickly bobs straight back up again. Holds straight for about 6 seconds then falls right off again. He’s been in this battle for about half an hour now!
Outside the sun is finally beginning to burn through the grey mist and shine on the old stone farm houses that are spotted across the hills and every now and then we pass by a small dense village with a huge church spire at their centre.Each building and city I see holds so much history. It’s something so foreign to back home. I love it.
I’m still pretty hazy after only having had 2 and half hours sleep. So I haven’t had a chance to think about the show last night.

From my fuzzy memory tho I feel like it was one of our best gigs so far.There was such a great energy in the room that couldn’t be quashed even by my terrible attempt at speaking French.
I was very moved to hear the audience singing along in their French accents to Broken Bones and again to At Worlds End after they called for us to play it for the 2nd time. I did feel a little strange at playing a song twice in one set but it was definitely worth it to watch them shout along to the chorus.
I really hope that it won’t be too long till we are back in Nantes. Hopefully for a little longer next time…
