Artsy
Yesterday we went to Tate Modern in London. Yeah, we may have an “unprintable” band name, but we’re some high-brow dudes (note my sophisticated omission of the definite article in the previous sentence) - don’t forget it. The highlight of the visit for me were a few pieces by Thomas Demand of Germany.
Only three festivals left! Lounge on the Farm today, Oxygen tomorrow, and T in the Park on Sunday. That means only six more flights til we return home, for a grand total of 16 flights on this tour. 16!!! That leaves a pretty dismal carbon footprint, I know. We’re working on it…

Day 8 - we’re in London! The lack of updates is a result of the fact that we’ve been hanging on for dear life. Like I mentioned last time, our van broke down after our show in Barcelona, conveniently on a bank holiday weekend. Thankfully we had some days off to work with, here’s what we pulled off:
- Sunday, 2 pm: took a taxi from Barcelona to Perpignan while Robbie stayed in Barcelona with the van. The taxi ride was this much fun:
- Sunday, 7 pm: after getting lost in Perpignan with a cabbie we couldn’t communicate with we managed to get our rental car and drive to Strasbourg.
- Monday, 4 am: arrived in Strasbourg, argued with the front desk clerk at the hotel and collapsed.
- Monday, 9 pm-ish: played in Strasbourg, ate a lot.
- Tuesday, 9 am: left for Paris, still no word on our decrepit van.
- Tuesday, 4 pm: arrived in Pairs, negotiated the crazy traffic circles and played our show while Robbie flew from Barcelona to London, got in a new van and started driving overnight from London to Paris.
- Wednesday, 10:30 am: Robbie, having not yet slept, picked us up in Paris and started driving back to London straight away.
- Wednesday, 7 pm: arrived at Koko in London!
Phew! Now to play our last show with !!!. Their show last night in Paris was absolutely blinding and tonight is there last show for a long while, so it should be a wild night. More to come…
