The second instalment of the Anterior Tour is brought to you by former Mendeed guitarist, Steve Nixon…

29th Feb - Day 2

11.00 pm - Anterior are back stage at Roxy and we’ve drank just about all the beers in the fridge, the other bands are looking at us as if to say “what the fuck why didn’t you leave some for us?” but we’re too drunk to care, the night proceeds with us shouting at the bar man to bring us more drink which he kindly does but then we have a cheek to pull a face when he takes one! TAKE WHAT YOU CAN, GIVE NOTHING BACK!!! So we continue to drink all beer in site and start chanting lines from “The 300” its kind of became our call, “SPARTANS…WHAT IS YOUR PROFFESION!! AAAAUUUUUGGGH!! AAAAUUUUUGGGH!! AAAAUUUUUGGGH!!

01.00am

We’re on the bus and we’re all fucked and we’re cutting up beer cans to make cups to put shooters into, we’re all so fucked I can’t remember much except watching some family guy and cutting up some brie for everyone to try, tasted amazing at the time but probably tastes like puke when your sober.

03.00 am

Total blank…

1st march - Day 3

11.00 am

Woke up with heartburn and a sore head, obviously something that I ate the night before….Kempy has had the runs since India (they were drinking out of date beer because some tit from the beer store saw us coming and ripped us off!) anyway, when you gotta go then you gotta go and since we were no where near anywhere we could stop he ended up having to shit in a strongbow box!! Wouldn’t be me I’ll tell you that! Also just been notified that I was oblivious to the fact that we drove through a lighting storm while I was sound asleep, Glyn was charging on like a marine but at one point the wind pulled us so much that he felt as though we were going to drive off the side of the mountain, I think we even stopped more than once to check that the trailer was still attatched!!

21.00 pm

We’ve just come off stage, only managed to fit in four songs as the local support took about 35 minutes and they drank all the beer while we were onstage, do they think they are fucking Iron Maiden or something? All the other bands are such a cool fucking bunch of guys, you know what its like the first time you meet new people, especially when you meet 15 new people all at the same time, but its just really cool that every one of them is cool as fuck and up for a laugh, not all of them are drinkers like us, some are more into their weed, but each to their own I suppose, we’re off to find another fridge to empty and also buy some vodka because there is a disco here that is on till 5 am, the Germans don’t do things by halves do they! We’ll all be too fucked to write any more for today so stay tuned and we’ll bring more updates from Anterior land tomorrow!! Rock on brothers (and sisters) AAAAAAAUUUUGH!!! AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUGH!!! AAAAAAAAAUUUUGH!!!
