// UMEÅ - SUMMER 2010 //

BACK IN THE SADDLE!

After a short break, The summer festival tour has finally started. Umeå crowd was great! We hadn't been there in many many years. It was cold and late but it turned out a killer gig in the end.

Skidrow was on just before us and we had a chance to see a few songs and meet with 'snake' Sabo briefly. Last time we hooked up was at Milton Keynes in '89.

Ian is now playing on a brand new Ludwig see-through drum kit. It looked and sounded great, Leven has a silver Sanberg bass specially made for him. He was very proud. In a few weeks time we also have new stage screens coming. It's gonna look cool as.....hopefully they'll be ready for the the Stockholm gig with Kiss.

Were still working on the set-list for the summer and hope we can provide a few changes over the next coming months.

Anyway.....We are very exited to be doing our job again. A job you guys so kindly keep us in.

Thanks as always for you support.

See you out there

I can't believe it - a new Leven's Sandberg bass. I'll look for it on next one tour show in Poland or Sweden. A silver Sandberg bass specially made for John L.It must sound terrific.

Thank YOU Europe for making us fans so proud of you! Thank YOU for your music and for a fantastic job on tour! Thank YOU for coming to Umeå and for making more gigs in Norrland later this summer. The Ume gig was totally amazing, you kicked ass! Ian's new drum kit looked really cool, and yes Mr Leven looked so proud indeed. What a great evening. THANK YOU EUROPE!

Hi guys, why don't you add an item on the website showing/documenting the gears/rigs you work on? I read Japanese magazine Young Guitar and it introduces John N's live rigs. Definitely it'll be very interested to know how Ian set his drum kits, especially his newly endoring Ludwig brand, as well as John L./John N rigs.
