Paris (F) @ La Maroquinerie

We've been waiting for the " Kill Your Elite Fest" for a while now. Besides this gig tolls the bell of the "Time to drop the gun" tour, it allows us to meet quite a bunch of friends. Soundcheck at 2p.m. We are here almost simultaneously as the Japanese guys of COQUETTISH. After all this time we spent sending mails and emails, it's cool to meet for real at last. We get into the "Maroquinerie" and meet the GXP ( Guerilla Poubelle a famous French band) that tells us how everything is going to be troughout the Fest. The fest is going to be upstairs and downstairs, we'll play downstairs. The venue is great, 500 guys sould be able to be there between the pit and a 1meter height stair. The stage is great too, neither too big nor too small, just big enough so that the 6 of us can feel at ease.
The 1st show starts early at 6:15 p.m, 8 bands are going to play tonight, unfortunately I won't see any bands playing upstairs, the venue is too busy. I'll spend the evening watching the bands playing downstairs, falling in love with RANDY'S RIPCORD female bass player, and talking with all our friends here tonight. We get on stage at 8:oo p.m on the dot, the show is well put-together by Guerilla asso!! The venue gets busier and busier, and the crowd gives us a warm welcome straight from the first chords we play. It's one of our best live performance. The guys of COQUETTISH got on stage and rocked with us for our last song: "the crowd", an OPERATION IVY cover. We've been waiting so long to share the stage with them, we couldn't expect a greater end !!!!
The evening ended just as well as it started. After us, the japanese guys and then GUERILLA POUBELLE rocked the place. Meanwhile, we sold our last "Time to drop the gun" cds. We'll try to get some others for the next tour. The Fest is over at like 11:30 p.m, we got a 10 hour drive journey to go back home so we don't hang around that much. We leave, destination Nissa!!
