MOPA on the road

Some of you asked me to continue the blog. I think they’re right. So let’s do this.

As you must know, we’re on tour now. I’m writing this message in the van, stucked in the traffic jam between Münich et Frankfurt. We began the tour with WILL HAVEN a week ago. These dudes are fuckin’ cool. That’s all I can say. They rule on stage. They rule backstage.

All the people on the gigs were damned cool with us too. Very good audience in Belgium, in Switzerland, and Lille where the show was sold out. Only the german gigs are fucked up. It seems the promotion failed. That’s such a pity. The venues are cool. Every night, we’re so proud of what we manage to do. But I want to say thank you to the people who came, rather than complain about the ones who didn’t.

The first week of the tour was not that easy. On the third or fourth day, already a few of us were ill cause we got some cold in Germany. That’s incredible how cold it is in this country in september. In Leipzig, it was honestly incredible. I guess that coming back from a summer in Los Angeles, and being used in the cool weather of Toulouse, my body was kinda surprized ! But I must say that yesterday was a shiny day between Saarbrucken and Münich.

Today, it’s Frankfurt. 10th gig. The hands of Yohan are still here (!). The fingers of Tristan are still here. And my voice is still here too. I hope our whole bodies will still be here in a week... and even already tomorrow !

Moin Moin,
yeah I saw you guys one week ago in Marburg and your Show was fucking great, unfortunately there were only 20 People watching it.
But I promise that I will convert everyone I know to MOPA-Fans.
And your right...it is fucking cold here, bloody autumn.

Yes, the promotion was really bad in Germany. I went to Leipzig to listen to you guys for the first time and it was really amazing. Hope to see you again in Germany and hopefully with a huge crowd in front of you.
