Back again to updating the stories, finally. Just posted the second post on The Bushweeds autumn tour, but first I'm gonna mention the first post of the tour as well, since.. well, this is the first time I'm mentioning it here on this blog, and also because it's been quite some time between the two posts:
Chapter 12.1 – The Bushweeds Autumn Tour 2023 – part I: It's a long way to the top...
Quick Summary:
So, naturally, after the release of their debut album the band couldn't just return to their daytime jobs and otherwise rest on their laurels to much.. now the job began to get gigs in order to assemble some kind of tour... easier said than done as there would be even more let downs on the way with downright awful deals that they just couldn't accept, but..
..they were definately pleased and excited when they after much asking about had succeeded in getting enough dates to go on their first mini-tour this autumn... ;)
Their first concert out of town wasn't to far away, and was a place they were already aqcuainted with since their last visit to the city.. so they met up that evening at Waylons Bar in the shadier part of town by the harbour, hoping to play for a decent sized and cheerful audience to kick off their tour...
And here is the new chapter:
Next morning everyone except Kajsa was still feeling joyful and happy after yesterdays concert and night out, which resulted in a little party happening in the bedroom, before Kajsa had to talk some sense into them and round them up to continue their journey to Bridgewood and this old rundown motel they would be staying at there..
After inspecting the motel and finding their rooms, it was time to head to the next venue for some more rehearsing and soundcheck, before they would get ready for another night and another gig.. let's hope it turns out well and that there won't be to much action or drama... ;)
Late at night all systems go
You have come to see the show
We do our best you're the rest
You make it real you know
There is a feeling deep inside
That drives you flippin' mad
A feeling of a hammerhead
You need it, oh so bad
Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash!
Bang your head against the stage
Like you never did before
Make it ring make it bleed
Make it really sore
In a frenzied madness
With your leathers and your spikes
Heads are bobbing around
It is hot as hell tonight
Here on stage the marshall noise
Is piercing through your ears
It knocks you down, kicks your face
Exploding feeling nears
Now is the time to let it rip
To let it all go loose
We are gathered here to maim and kill
Cause this is what we choose
Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash
The show is through the metal is gone
It is the time to hit the road
Another time another gig
Again we will explode
Hotel rooms and motorways
Life out here is raw
But we will never stop
We will never quit
Cause we are THE BUSHWEEDS !
;)
Original lyrics are from the song "Whiplash" by Metallica. Unedited lyrics are found here.
PS: There's profanity in the original/official lyrics....
Now, the Bushweeds is not a metal band, and they do not sound like Metallica, but they do have one thing in common nonetheless, as both bands started out with one foot in punk rock.. but where Metallica mixed their punk rock influences with heavy metal to create thrash metal (in the 1980s before they "sold out" according to some..), The Bushweeds mixes their punk rock influences with celtic folk music, to make, well, celtic rock/punk more in the vein of bands like The Pogues, Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, etc... ;)
