Hello there everyone. I don't really have anything planned to write about wo we'll see how this turns out. I have to go to bed soon because tomorrow at 8am i'm having driving lesson and were off to the "slippery course" where we practise driving on ice and slippery conditions, will be interesting and im a bit nervous about that so. Tomorrow me and Mel are going to look at a new apartment, a bigger one only like 500 metres from here, if its nice i'll take it. But my mind is so blank at the moment so i guess i will just go to sleep. See you tomorrow i guess. Take care!

Good "morning" everybody. I just got up so then it is morning. Worked all last night and what a nightshift it was, a very annoying one. Not just because i was overtired, something else too that i'm not allowed to say here, i guess. I still have two nights to go and i surely hope they are better in every way. I have to do one extra night shift because i've had so many days off plus i need extra cash. Don't have so much else on my mind right now. I will go and do the dishes and after four Melanie comes here for the weekend. See you soon again, take care everybody!

I should sleep longer but i can't get any sleep anymore, i will have to try and take a nap before my upcoming nightshift or else i will be totally exhausted. So, yesterday Endrive rocked at Klubi once againa right here in Turku rock city. We played already at around 9pm so there wasn't so much people but that has never (and never should) stopped us from rocking. I was looking at the guys from behind my drums having a great time on stage and going more crazy than ever with Endrive, I tried to keep up with them, but my hands were hurting for the first half of the set. After that i got my game together and i was rocking too, haha. We played a short set of seven songs and about 20 minutes. The russian band, Stigmata, that was supposed to play had to cancel due to financial reasons and they were replace by another russian band called '4UMA' and they took the stage after us. Their music was kinda KoRn-like to my ear. Very good musicians and the sounds where phat, not just my type of music anymore. After the russians it was time for local metal act 'Blindnine'. It's been a while since i've heard them live and they really rocked, i enjoyed their set very much. Sami the dreadlocked beast did some nice screaming and clean vocals. The evenings last band was April from Helsinki and they blew the place up. Such amazing musicianship and Hakim's voice is incredible. I'm also a huge fan of their drummer, such groove and precision it's just ridiculous. Their sound is so fat and lots of what we in the music business call "balls". Simply amazing, thank you April for another mindblowing gig. I did film the whole Endrive set (well Melanie filmed that), some songs of 4UMA and Blindnine. I also filmed the entire April set. Maybe something will end up online. Now i will go on with my day and i will see you later. Take care
