Backstage in Sverige

I'm sitting backstage in Göteborg, Sweden while Eppic performes 'Storm Before the Calm' for what sounds like a very lively Swedish audience, and I thought I might throw a quick update at the blog.

A great shot from our friend Maria.
Last night the tour officially kicked off in Copenhagen, and from the looks of things, this time out is going to be one to remember.

Despite a few of the usual bonehead, first-show jitters, last night made for a pretty incredible debut performance. I can honestly say it was better than just about all of the other first shows I've played in the past, and a few great friends of ours mentioned that it was even better than our performance from 7 months ago. In other words, mission: accomplished.

It has been really fun to see the band re-develop with the addition of Joey on lead guitar and Eppic & Alex G coming along for opening support has been its own kind of special. If the tour can only go up from here then we're already in a really great place.

We got some sightseeing time in and around Copenhagen before we had to report for load-in yesterday, as well. This was great for us because our last time through was sort of an in-and-out affair; we only got to see about one block of the great city. This time, however, we saw a little bit of the great architecture and culture that abounds just about everywhere you set foot over here in Europe, and I'm glad to report it wasn't lost on us.

Can't wait for what's to come. Hopefully this month doesn't fly by too quickly...
