My senses tell me to hold on to this / no matter what they say I will never cease

My senses tell me to hold on to this / it's the reason why I still exist 

-Some of you already know that we played as not so special guests in the Eternal Hated / All Around Heroes / Chaos Reign show, the previous wednesday. We had fun, and so you did. Awesome, thanks.

-We can't wait for the Saturday's show in Komotini. We are sharing the stage with our dear friends Vodka Juniors and the brave new kids Bad Bid. A. used to study in Komotini (tens of years ago, when he was young) and he still has friends there so this adds more excitement to his feelings. Moreover, I dunno if the rest of us have ever been in Komotini in their whole lives (except of Drossos, our session bassist, yeap we are missing S. for once again - fucking army). I think we are gonna start the trip on Friday and spend the night in Thessaloniki; what a better chance to meet old friends... Here's the poster designed by Re.Mono Designs.

 

-Our buttons are ready. Get yours asap. Only 100cps available. Moreover, Billy Jerboa Illustrations is taking care of our new t-shirt... It's gonna be available in a couple of weeks, I guess.

-We have a new song that kicks ass. It's called The Reason and we dare to say that it's emotional enough to make you doubt about our hardcore-ness (sic). You can read some of the lyrics above.

-We are gonna be featured in Rebuild hardcore fanzine issue 2, based in Serbia. Jelena was kind enough to send us some cool questions. Can't wait to get the printed material in our hands. Also, Bak / No Exit fanzine from Greece just sent us a bunch of interesting q's that we are gonna answer to this week. We chase fame.

Hugs,

-Katarameno Syndromo crew created a fuckin' awesome / freakin' yeah podcast, including 'This World' by My Turn. Copy the following link to your browser and feel free to enjoy a cup of tea or roll a joint* and listen to it: http://kataramenosyndromo.com/2011/03/15/podact/

-We had a rehearsal on Monday featuring Drossos from Bandage and it went very well. We'd like to inform you that Drossos is helpin' us out as a session bassist for some shows (the ones that S. cannot join in because of the fucking army). We have a new song called 'A bitter smile', if you care.

-We have 3 shows coming up, check out the list on your right. All of them are in the countryside, and we are very happy about it; time for roadtrips again. Also, there's a kinda of a big show that will take place in Athens this June; more information soon, because we are collectively thinking a bit of the details...

-The image above is the design of the first My Turn button ever, that will be available anytime soon, ltd to 100 cps. It was done by the mastermind called Ultra Grim Disign. PMA stands for Positive Mental Attitude.

It's been a long time since we last updated this blog...

To be honest, we were a bit bored to update a fucking faceless shit, but since we are all staring at a PC screen for a quite a few hours every day, I decided to write some things down, while I'm listening to Perfect Future.

So, life is hell but who cares...

Our precious anger-exposing vehicle (you may call it My Turn) is doin' well.

2 of our members are serving the army (one of them is not exactly doin' so, but nevermind), one of us is workin' hard to earn some money to survive in this fucking life (+ buy some vegan / straight edge hip hop records), while we don't know where is the 4th one; if you have seen him anywhere, drop us a line or just tell him to get back in Athens.

Btw, we had a rehearsal 10 days ago and we wrote a brand new song, simply called 'A Bitter Smile', you have to listen to this. Honestly, I think it's one of our best songs; and it's catchy as hell, haha.

We can't be patient; we wanna play live now... NOW!

But we have to wait till 9th April, when we are gonna travel to Komotini to share the stage with our friends Vodka Juniors, and Bad Bid. Get prepared for war.

Moreover, we have confirmed a show in Patras on 6th May, along with Straight Opposition and My Distance from Italy, plus our fellow band I Want You Dead. It's gonna be a blast.

There's a chance that we'll play in Volos on 26th April, but it's not sure yet...

A! Did I tell you that we are gonna play as special guests in a show coming up in the end of March?

You won't read My Turn in any poster, but you'll be informed via email, no worries...

Other news? Hm... We got a really nice interview and an awesome review in rockap.gr.

Here are the links to enjoy both:

We also went commercial, giving one of our songs for a video showing a friend of us designing a Cohete surfboard deck. We are getting rich, fuck yeah!

That's all,
We'll update this shit again really soon.
Read Take Your Shot fanzine #4.

The poster above was designed by Ultra Grim Disign.
We are thinking of printing some cards using this design.
I dunno if the financial crisis will let us do it.

We had an awesome weekend in Milano, Italy, so we'd love to share our experiences with you.

We arrived in Milano Malpensa airport on Friday afternoon and the super nice guy called Marco (he sings for My Own Voice, so you better check 'em out) picked us up and drove us with his super cool van downtown.

We left our stuff in the ho(s)tel and went for a walk in order to find something decent to eat. I convinced the kids that we had to visit a cool vegan / vegetarian place that I learned its existence by Marco. After 1 hour of searching that fucking place, we found out that all its tables were reserved, so we ended up in a cosy pizzeria eating huge pizzas and watching Livorno in the TV.

I had already started to feel ache all over my throat... Besides that, the weather in Milano was cold, around 0 degrees.

After having some rest in the hostel, we visited a nearby pub where a friend of Marco was celebrating his birthday. Cox 18 squat was next, where we were told that a cool dubstep / hip hop party was taking place. Dude/tte that squat was like a club located in Gkazi... 4 euros strict ticket and a stamp in the hand to enter one of the oldest squats in Milano (+25 years) that has now become a meeting place for fucking hipsters... Pff, we danced to the beats a bit, though and we decided to leave around 3.

We went to a pharmacy store where I bought some medicine for my throat and then crashed in the hostel.

I woke up in the morning the other day with a fucking hard throatache. It seemed impossible for me to even talk. I got anxious about the show and how we could manage to play our set...

So, we split in 2, F. & me went for a walk / coffee in Piazza Duomo, while S. & M. (sado & mazo?!) visited Milan's stadium, San Siro...!

I was sick so after F. ended 3 cups of espresso, we decided to return in the hostel in order to get some sleep while F. was about to read his Metal Hammer magazine, haha! Then he left me alone and went to meet the other guys.

Fuck, I spent almost half of the day in that hostel, pfff!

Marco picked us up from the hostel at around 18.30. We firstly visited a nice squat called Cantiere and then headed to TeLOS squat (located in Saronno / Varese area), where the 3 other bands (Attrito, Congegno and The Smashrooms) were waiting for us. It was awesome to meet again Gab (guitarist / vocalist of The Smashrooms), a cool friend of mine! Moreover, the TeLOS squat guys were super hospitable, preparing for us some vegan food, that we really enjoyed.

The show started at around 22.00; Congegno played first (nice band) and The Smashrooms were next. I really enjoyed their set, even though I was super anxious about whether I could sing or not, haha.

We took the stage at around midnight and ...we had a blast. 

The feedback was so awesome that I overcome my throat problems. We played a decent show, I think that was our best show ever. The kids had fun, stagediving and moshing all over the tiny room!

Awesome... Honestly!

I didn't watch Attrito's set, because I had to get some rest, but I was listening to their songs and they rule.

I think that around 150 kids attended the show, and to my surprise, most of them were very young and dedicated. Punks, metalheads, hardcore kids; a very mixed and cool audience.

We arrived in the hostel around 3.30 in the morning. We had to wake up at 7.30 in order to catch our flight...

Finally, we did it. 

This weekend was super awesome.

We wanna thank Marco / My Own Voice, the TeLOS squat crew (keep on the struggle!), the bands that we shared the stage with, and all the cool kids we met.

Till next time,

A. on behalf of My Turn.

P.S. We'll be glad to see you in our next show that takes place in Larissa this coming Saturday! We are playing with Venerea from Sweden, plus some 2 great local bands, and we are very excited about this.

Unfortunately the show in Patras, that was about to take place tonight, got cancelled.

That's sad but shit happens, as always.

We still have 2 shows left till the end of January.

Actually we'll start preparing our show in Milano (Saronno area) that is scheduled for Saturday, 22nd January.

We'll share the stage of TeLOS squat along with The Smashrooms (Brescia), Congegno and Attrito (both from Trento). We are more than psyched about this and we can't wait to play our 2nd show abroad.

A limited edition of 20 CDrs with a special cover (Italy-related) will be available along with the 4-5 tapes we have left...

Here's the poster of the show:

Happy new year dudettes & dudes.
We can't wait to play in Patras next Monday, welcoming back I Want You Dead.
Hope to see you there.
2 more shows coming in January, one in Italy and one in Larissa.
Hugs.
