Paper monsters dave gahan7/1/2023 ![]() ![]() Having to remove the first several rows of seats, the crew then has to carry all the weighted down flight cases over the back rows. This was a much longer flight and our poor crew was on the edge of broken. Friday the 13th is not the most assuring date to hop on a Fokker 50 but needless to say, we explored the Scandinavian skies once more. Not sure of the lyric content (must be about the Norwegian women) but what a show.again, freaks of nature. We sat by the stage with our jaws on the floor. After we won a few new fans over, the band hung around to watch one of Norway's own, "The Kaizer Orchestra". David has been in top form, on and off the stage.and it just gets better. With the thunderous rhythm section of Martyn and Victor, wonderfully augmented by Vince on keyboards and vocals, we've been laying a fantastic sonic bed for Dave to romp in. By the way, now is a good time to mention what great form the band is in. The truth from here on in is questionable. After a morning of being a tourist with Vince and Simon (tour manager), the band set off to the festival site. It's a freak of nature and that's all I can say. Shmorgas.again? All I can say is that you have to go to Norway at least once in your life. After the rubber bands were wound up and the mice fed, we buzzed up into the skies toward Norway. Put it this way, if you don't know what a Fokker 50 is, then this should be a clue.every band and crew member were clamoring to call home. This was the beginning of three days of flying to and from gigs with the crew and our gear. After a nice chat with the "Massive" boys and girls, including Ivan (who tour managed me while on the Banshees stint last summer), we set off to meet our "private plane". A sea of hopped up, boozed out kids dying for a good time we played our festival set with vigor. ![]() Shmorgas? Giant pepper shakers, moose wrestling, fucked up dry cleaning, naked male ass in the swimming pool (it's just wrong), good coffee, long check out, we set off to play the Hultsfred Festival (Sweden). Victor Indrizzo, the drummer of Dave's touring band, sent in reports from the road (when his net connections permitted), written by the various members of the touring band.
