Draguignan (F) @ Back 2 School Fest


"Alone on the sand, my eyes in the water, my dream was too beautiful to be true. When summer is over you'll go miles away from me"... Yup, summer is over, just between you and me, it can go back to the caribou hunting I couldn't care less, what I care for is that tonight I 'll meet my garden side again!! We're leaving at 2:00 pm, we only have 1 hour and a half, not that much... idealistic for a renewal.
If I were Belzu I should say the "théâtre de verdure" ( the venue) of Draguignan is extraordinary, fairy-like, fantastic... but I am not Belzu. I'll just say that with the bar proudly showing a notice that reads "Beer: 1 euro", and this sweet smell of BBQ, the theatrelooks like a school fête. Get me an Aunt Sally and a fishing game and I'm really back to primary school.
We meet Toto the "(almost) volunteer sound-engineer-manager" of the place, that get us out of our nostalgic daydream to soundcheck.
The afternoon goes by very fast, drinking with Beru and the Maskes Feuillus crew, playing football and meeting the UNCO guys, It's already the time for WALEGUEN AGAINST to open the fest. We' ve already played with them before, they're style playing their old school punk-rock sang in French. We're getting on stage, I don't know wether it's due to anxiety because we haven't play in a long time but we're overexcited. Belzu was right, there's something magical about this place. We perform a great show and leave the 200 people in the audience warmed just right to watch UNCO. We're going to spend the rest of the evening celebrating Belzu's 26 birthday up until very late night.That's what I call a new school year!!!
