Doing the Alps

Only 2 hours left until we're in Salzburg

Venice

We woke up early this morning, said goodbye to Mirko & Erik. We have a long trip ahead of us to Salzburg we're we are spending the night before we can continue our drive to Czeck republic. However, we decided to stop by Venice for some proper tourism in true Deathstars spirit. And once again we would like to say: MILLE GRAZIE MIRKO and ERIK! You rock!

Aqua Paradise

Today we left the house pretty early to enjoy the day at the nearby adventure-water world. I tried out the 32 meter high freefall slide, The Black Hole and some other good slides. Life can be worse. We feel sorry for Cat who decided to go home inbetween the shows instead of staying in this beautiful part of the world. Well, well... Back to the pool.

Summerstyle!

Walking around Lazise

Yesterday Mirko and his friend Erik made us a very good barbecue which of course ended us in a watermelon fight between me and Whip. This morning we woke up by thunder and lightning outside the window. Luckily the weather changed and now Mirko is showing us around Lazise. Great lifestyle!

Girls... Swedish style!

Bye, bye Slovenia, hell-o Italy

After playing Metal Camp very late last night we're finally on our way to Garda Lake where our friend Mirko has invited us for a vacation. We all need some time off after these hectic traveling days. Happy times!

Boring!

We left the hotel in Helsinki at 9 this morning, took the plane to Düsseldorf and here we've been trying to kill time since noon. Our next flight is not until 6:45 PM to Venice. There we get picked up in a van which is gonna take us to Slovenia and Metalcamp. Hopefully we'll be there before midnight cause our show starts 1:00 AM. Not the most stimulating day.

I'm sober in Hell-sinki

On the airport

Waiting to board the plane bound for Finland where we're playing Ruisrock tonight. See you there.

Jeanette, the best a man can get!

Finally the day I've been waiting for.

Time has come for my sweet Jeanette to move from Oslo to me in Stockholm.

We've spent 6-7 months on restoring and repainting my apartment and it makes it a new start for the both of us.

Time to start enjoying life even more!

Summer Update

Here's a post just to let you know I haven't forgotten about you.

Lately I've been busy learning banjo and it's actually working out better than expected.

Now I'm of too the beach, Ciao!

Deathstars on MTV

Check it out here: LINK

Yay!

Today I met up with Aaron from My Dying Bride at Mosebacke, where I found out that Michael Jackson just died. Big day for the history.

DJing with Damon at Mosebacke tonight

Tax-evasion barbecue man

Today is Midsummer in Sweden and it's a big party for us sweden. Yay!

The face of a Tax evasion guy.

Unfortunately I've had even more problems with my phone and therefore no blogs since a while back. The picture shows the man who formerly known as Digedi-Damon and the Tax Evasion Crew. Recently the authorities found out about his scam and he's now forced to pay the government large sums of money. Poor Digedi!

New look

Yesterday we were playing at Dauwpop in Holland and Bone decided to try out a new look. Sexy boy!

National Day of Norway

Yesterday me, Jeanette, my dad and my brother went to Skansen in Stockholm to celebrate the 17th of may which is the national day of Norway. Sun was shining and we were feeling happy together with the rest of the 20000 norwegian offsprings that happened to be in the neighbor country this sunday afternoon. Yay!

Fuck the world!

Tonight my sweet Jeanette got her wallet stolen out of her purse after being in a club for only 2 minutes. I can't believe that anybody can do something like this while we were just looking away for 10 seconds.

Even more tour tattoos

When in Russia I got the opportunity to get a new tattoo saying Chertograd in russian letters. Big thanks to Max who made it and also the Spika Boys for making it possible.

Off to Russia!

Skinny Disco

Then it's decided and done. Thanks again to Leigh for a good job, also a big thanks to the nice people at Design 4 Life in Liverpool for lending us a chair and giving us beer.

Simple rules

Yesterday we played The White Rabbit in Plymouth, UK and after closing hours we had a great party with the staff. There was armwrestling, pole-dancing and professional drinking games. Why can't bars be more like in the 18th century (see picture).

HELP!

As most of you know we're going on tour in UK with Marionette and Defiled.

While in Manchester on the 18th of April I'll hook up with Leigh who had me under the needle in Malmö on our last show of the Death Syndicate tour.

So I could use everyones help with coming up with a nice motive to do.

While you're brainstorming think of this:

It can't be too big since we'll only have a few hours.

Let me know where you've pictured me having it.

And last but not least, think BLACK.

On demand

Here's the tattoo I got on the last day of the Death Syndicate tour. Made by Leigh Dale (Studio Odyssey)

Finally!

I've got a new phone which means I'll be blogging more from now on.

Day off in Paris

Yesterday we woke up in the outskirts of Paris in a busparking. We went for steaks, burgers and Pina Colada at the local steakhouse.

Thereafter me, Robin, Cat, Orac and Mike jumped on the tube for the center. We found a bar with WiFi and really expensive beers so we didn't stay for long, just headed towards the Eiffel Tower.

I ended the night back on the bus watching "Traitor", "Zeitgeist" and "Team America" before leaving my conscious state of mind.

I'm still alive

Sorry for not blogging in a while.

After this tours biggest party for me in Budapest my phone was killed in my bunk due to water and chocolate. When I first woke up I thought I'd peed and shit my self but it turned out to be water coming in through an open sunroof in the bus. The morning hunger apparently stroke me after too much Hungarian Moonshine and I stashed up with a lot of chocolate, this of course ended up on my sheets after falling asleep on it.

Luckily we woke up in Ludwigsburg where I found a washing machine so that I could take care of my dirty sheets and the rest of my laundry. My phone was unfortunately not coming back to life. Luckily I got to borrow a phone from Roger in Sonic Syndicate but I can't send my blogs from it.

Just like that wasn't enough we had some stuff stolen from us after the show in Pratteln, Switzerland. Nightmare's uniform jacket, my pentagram belt and Whiplasher's D-wheel army hat.

Stupid asshole(s) who stole it, things like this really upsets me.

Well things got better, we met up with friends in Milan and straight after that we headed for a day off in Barcelona.

I met up with Jeanette at the hotel in the afternoon. We enjoyed Barcelona to the fullest with sightseeing, beer, food, shopping and of course a real bed at the hotel.

After a great show the following day Dante (our bus) was eager to go to Madrid.

The weather was absolutely wonderful when we arrived so we decided to hit the city for sightseeing, sangria and sun.

We were all pretty excited about the following day in Alicante. BUT!

When we woke up the sun was no where to be seen so no swimming in the ocean for us.

Also the venue was very small with a tiny backstage so we sat most of the day in the bus.

Luckily the place was packed, the crowd was amazing and it turned out to be a really fun show.

This was definitely an unexpected surprise.

Today we're up in Bergara and we can finally be online to catch up on our interactive lives.

I'll do my best to update this blog whenever I have internet.

Cheers!
