The story:
We started the trip from Thessaloniki to Sofia around noon, battling with the hotness and tiresome.
We had a cool drive and we passed the borders with no problems at all.
Arrived in Sofia around 17.00 we found the venue inside a huge park.
Grindhouse Skatehouse is one of the greatest places we have ever played. 
It's a bar with a skate mini ramp inside and a great atmosphere outside.
It was fucking hot, though. And when I write hot, I mean HOT.

So, after unloading the van and setting up our merch / distro table, we ate some awesome vegan food that Nick's mother was so kind to cook. 
The show started around 20.30. Around 100 people gathered.
1st in the bill were Frenchbulldog, a new band from Sofia featuring members from Expectations, Melekh. They played just 3 songs of cool modern yet filthy hardcore. Cool!
We were next, playing a setlist of 10 songs incl. the Negative Approach cover.
Even though our sound was the best we can get, we did a decent, well-accepted, show.

No Omega and Grieved played after us. They had a lot of technical difficulties and to be honest their style was definitely not our cup of tea. But we definitely enjoyed their show.
The show ended around 23.30 and then we loaded the van, had some falafels and arrived at Niki's house, where we are jerking around right now.

Tomorrow we are playing Sick As We Are Fest in Zupanja, Croatia.
We can't wait to share the stage with bands like D.R.I., Vitamin X and Final Approach!
Till then, da da!

The music:
NOFX, greek punk / oi!, Rancid, Floorpunch.
