MILLENCOLIN

Firstly, before we went
and saw Millencolin play we went to their signing at Soundworld.
I must say that they are a nice bunch of guys. Especially Erik.
:o) there weren't that many people there, so we were extremely
happy about that. I got a copy of their latest CD signed and My
friend gave Erik a rose....hehe you should have seen the look
on his face, he was loving it!!
After we hung around there for a while
talking and what not we made our way to the venue. Ok, so we got
there and it was an over crowded over heated bowling club. Gotta
love a heap of sweaty people rubbing up against you. We got there
half way through some band that I didn't know, but after them 98
reasons why played and they were excellent. A few feet, literally,
went through the roof, and that was pretty funny.
Finally, Millencolin took the stage.
We were trying to get as close to Erik as possible, but since he
was in the middle of the stage we could only get so close without
getting smashed more than what we already were. They went off. Some
guy climbed into the roof and everyone thought he was heaps cool
until he fell through and stuffed everything up. The security guards
just stood there and watched..nice to know they are good help. :-S
Millencolin had to stop playing for a bit because of some wires
or something stupid F*U*K, after about 5 mins they started playing
again. They played all my favourites, one of them being Random I
am…Some of us were a bit upset because they didn't play Monkey Biz
hehe, but I guess they can't play everything. It was an excellent
night. The only down side was the venue. Millencolin should play
out here more often. Bad luck to all the guys who didn't get to
see them play. They went off.
