Covenant was already there and busy doing their soundcheck which meant waiting and more drinking/eating for us. The  Sala Heineken is one of the cooles venues we've been to, lots of floors, bars, lounges, etc. We also met the guy  from the opening band Shorai, a really nice bloke. And we sure had lots of fun backstage with him, some words that  come to mind are chuppa, tettas, conjo and culo (dunno if these are spelled right). Combine these words with  everything you say and you're destined to have a great time. Luckily our newest bandmember Isabel her sister are  spanish otherwise we would have been completely lost (mentally and physicly). Drinks kept coming and disappearing in  the backstage. You ask for a beer and you get a bottle of wodka, not bad at all. We also shared the backstage with Covenant and they were really nice guys, and the girls were all wetting their pants over their keyboardplayer.

Around 21.00 we entered the stage and we really rocked the house down. We only had about 35 minutes playtime but we  decided to give it all we got. It's cool to see that people in Spain know your songs and sing along. Also this was  the first show for new singer Isa and the spanish audience loved her, way to go kiddie. After the show we were  completely knackered and wasted. We watched the Covenant show from the side as we were too tired to go dancing, and  some of us were getting drunk anyway. We had a few drinks after their show and headed back to the hotel because next  morning we had to get up early to catch our flight to Barcelona. Didn't get much sleep as Madrid by night is a lot more noisier than Madrid by daytime.

Next morning we headed back to the airport for our flight to Barcelona with Ryanair. Even though Ryanair is all  plastic fantastic and looks and feels cheap ass, their flights are always on time (and we were glad to see the same  blonde stewardess again at our flight). And of course we were picked out of the queue to be fully checked by police and customs. In Barca we first went to the hotel and freshen up a little. Around 18.00 we  took cabs to the venue Sala Bikini. Again a very nice venue with also a very good crew. Hiya Robert, put another  shrimp on the barbee, crikey mate (great job on our sound, dude). We also had lots of fun with the opening act  E.G.O., especially their drummer's girlfriend Monica. Soundcheck went incredibly fast, in just 10 minutes we had the  sound we wanted. So all the more time for drinks and food and having fun with the other bands.

Around 21.00 we entered the stage, and the Barcelona crowd was even better than the Madrid one, singing along and  dancing and jumping to the songs. Also Isa announced Neon Venus and talked to the audience in Spanish which was  welcomed with enthousiastic applause. As usual we gave everything we got and more during the show. We made it easy for Covenant warming up their audience. Too bad there was a strict curfew at midnight and everyone (including the  bands) had to leave. Finding the exit was almost impossible, we got completely lost in the huge complex and we ended  up in a closed shopping mall. Luckily a cleaning lady and a nightporter showed us the way out. There was an  afterparty planned at Club Demonix (free drinks!) so we went there and were happily surprised that our song Global Killer is a big hit in Spain, they played the song twice during the night and everyone was singing along to the song. Around 05.00 we left the club (BARF!) and headed back to the hotel to catch a few hours of sleep before we had to check out.
