MURPHY WAR GUT

From Russia with Love

We were very excited to cross the russian border, because of some really weird stories that we heard. We were on the border finally and sit a long time in the cold car. After 4 hours and some shirts, they let us free and we continue our way to Kursk.

We arrived at the club and look forward to the show. The kids were very young but danced sick to our supporting band. It was a big party during our show, great! The guy who took us to his place lived with his parents and we think they were not so happy about us, so to wake up at 7 o'clock in the morning was not so hard for us.

The next direction was Smolensk (13.03.2013). Smolensk is a big city with a beautiful old town.
The venue were we played was called adrenaline club which is supposed to be a strip club.
Before we started to play, we met Lesha (tourbooker) and Dima (second driver). Now the crew was completed. After the show we went to a save place, for drinking in publicity.
The kids were almost like us (bolnoi, crazy). And we tranlated the lyrics of Rammstein to english for them. Now they don`t use to listen Rammstein anymore. Next morning we woke up with a big hangover and setted off to Pskov.

14.03.2013: In Pskov we played in the TIR club. There were some little girls, who screamed everytime, when Aron took the mic in his hands and start to sing. Crazy... When we started to play there were like 5 kids, but suddenly there were like 30 kids, and we were very surprised. Then Friik met Olga <3. After the show we went to St. Petersburg!!!

10. + 11. 3. Two Days in Kiev

We were really excited to visit the capital of Ukraine, Kiev on our second day off... A lot of new friends said they will join our show next day, so we were lucky to play together with TIME TO LIVE, which would be the third show with them, cool guys. We met Vlad in early afternoon, who rent us a apartement, only for us, so we had the chance to make a break and cook together. We talked about the life in Kiev, the football scene, and his political activism. This is hard stuff for us...

Next day Anton came to us to show us the city, some sightseeings of Kiev. There were a lot, and we were happy to walk a bit and do other things than sitting, eating, drinking, sleeping. After lunch in a nice vegan cafe, we drove to the club and the show, a basement of an old opera, started. The boys and girls went crazy, it was really good. Thank you all!

After the show we straight went to the russian border...

8.3. welcome ukraine

On 7.3. we arrived in warsaw and slept by a guy who's living in the historical part of warsaw.

accidentally we  found a ska club. After some drinks, two guys of us got lost and we had to find them.

back on the road, we drove towards ukrainian border. The  border police where fan of our merch stuff so we gave them some shirt's before we got stopped again and had to present some merch again. They were lucky and we were lucky as well, to finally pass the border. This ukrainian police really love us, because after one hour on roads full of holes, we met them again, our driver has to blow for alcohol test, which was allegedly positive: A.C.A.B.!! After a long time in police car we and our drive were happy to go our way to Ivano-Frankivsk.

Our contact receipted with a big smile, so we knew the show will be good. In this City, we felt the scene is very closed and every one knows each other. The food was delicious and the kids at the show went crazy. Thank you!

The next show had to be in Khmelnizky and we arrived punctually. The location was a little theater, with a stair in front of the stage. That was sick, because the Pogo Kids went up and down and sometimes fell down. Fortunatelly nobody gets hurt. The after party was in a appartement  near of the club. Our drummer went "steil". So on the next day he was "mudrig".

We found somthing funny, in the far east:

last Poland show @ Pilon

hey ho!!

the show on 5.3. in olsztyn was cool and the location very fancy with all the vinyl covers on the wall.
After the show we drank good polish vodka. On the backway to our sleepingplace we got stopped by the police because we didn't know that in poland it's not allowed to drink booze in publicity. So don't try it, big Brother is watching you...fortunately we got some swiss chocolate to bribe them......and they took it belive it or not!!! fuck the Police
We woke up with a hangover in Matheous living-room (check out the Band Edel Weiss Piraten) while Magda, prepared the breakfast. She's active in a Organisation called Food not Bombs, which brings Vegan food to the people. The concert was also organized by those people. We felt better and setted off straight to Torun.

In Torun we played at Pilon. The first punk club in Torun, which has a beautiful old town. There were not many people, but it was a fine concert. In the morning we went to Peter`s factory,  he have a serigraph facility and distribute shirts and patches on internet. www.milicjaposzukuje.com We got freshly printed shirts. Thank you peter! We will wear the shirts with good memories.

Now we are in Warzawa and set off in the early morning hours to the ukrainian border. we hope they let us in.....no borders no nations!!!!!
