Payerne (CH) @ Silver Club

We woke up at the end of the morning, then we left almost right away. We don't have a long road to Payerne but we got nothing special to do around here anyway. The route is getting us far away from the Lake Geneva to get us closer to the countryside of Switzerland. As scheduled we ate the miles quickly and we arrived at the Silver Club in the beginning of the afternoon. We're welcomed very friendly, I guess everyone here is really happy to see us. The club is an old garage that was trnasformed into a snack-bar/club, it's great even though the stage is a little too small to us six. We don't waste our time and we soundcheck right away.
All the bands are now here and while chatting around, the kids from TODOS DESTINOS dare to challenge us to a game of soccer. Two options: first, our reputation of being pro soccer players hasn't gone as far as Switzerland and they challenge us without having a clue, or, second option; they know, and there they're being audacious. Anyway, we're gonna have some fun beatinf them at soccer.
A dozen kids are coming from the nearby countryside, and Flav (roadie for the TODOS) is picking up up the teeth he lost while accusing some severe slinding tackles. The show can start. The TODOS, with the bitter taste of defeat at soccer, are the first to play tonight. Then LA RENARDE a sorta of local heroes band playing ska get up on stage. They 're much awaited, it's the 3rd time they're supposed to play here, but tonight is the first time they really do play, the other times they were too drunk to play.
At last it's our turn to play some power chords. The club is still crowded inspite of the fact it's getting later & later, the athmosphere is still good. Great show; the soccer game in the afternoon warmed us up well and the crazy people in front of the stage are setting ourselves on fire!! the gig's over we load the van quickly, we got some miles to go to the farm we're sleeping in tonight.
