Austin- California Day (10- 13)

The last days in Austin was fun. We got time to just wander around town and check out stuff that we didn't get around to earlier. Even played another show with our buddy Adam Heldrig that we all enjoyed very much on Saturday. Check out Adam at; www.myspace.com/adamheldring The next day (sunday) we decided to join Carolina, Adam and Jonas (Adam Heldrig..s bassist) and a couple of friends on a trip to the Oasis outside Austin. Nice! Some sort of national park..ish, ranch, tourist place where we got some dinner before going back to the outskirts of Austin to check out the badass cowboy stores. Then in the evening we got everyone back to our house and played texas hold..em and hung out. Good times.

The next day we packed our bags and left for LA were our manager Dany picked us up and we drove to his house were we are residing when we are in LA. We got to meet his fiancé who also lives there. Then Dany took the ones in the band not too tired from traveling out to see Love Like Fire at the Silverlake Lounge.

Tuesday was the day for SSN!..s first show in California. The city, Fresno, venue, The Starline... cool place. We did a 30 min show, met some cool new people, enjoyed a great band playing before us (with a spanish name we're not even gonna try to spell!), and headed back for LA.

Today we've had a day off. Slept inn and met the peaple at Futuresound, out to become US/UK management. Rolf, Ruben and Simon went down to Santa Monica beach for a little shopping while Even stayed back at the office to get some work done.
Now we're getting ready for load in at The Glory Hole, Michael Patterson's studio, where Captcha will get it's first day of recording tomorrow. YEAH!

SXSW (Day 8)

The last couple of days we´ve been hanging out at 6th street, checking out all sorts of music and hanging out with friends and associates. Even(Drummer) has played with our Scandinavian friend Adam Heldring at Habana Cell 6 and is playing Wave Rooftop today. We´ve been meeting with some labels and it´s all good.

Trailer Space Records (Day 7)

Yesterday was our first gig at SXSW.
We got up and had breakfast, and headed out to downtown Austin.
The gig was around eight o clock so we had plenty of time to hang out and check out Austin.
We decided to go and see some friends of ours i Casiokids who is also playing here.
Then the backline situation. We were lucky enough that the band The Hundred Days is in town so we got to borrow a much needed amplifier from them to get through our show.
Looking forward to hang out with them more this week.
After collecting the amp, we got in the car to get to the venue called Trailer Space Records, a really neat record store. Simon was drooling over the rich array of rare punk rock vinyl stored there. The show went great apart from the PA system being a bit limited.
Then we went to get some food and checked out more of the parties that went on downtown.
Austin without a doubt the colest town in Texas, the texan answer to Haight Ashbury in San Fransisco perhaps. A liberal and cool chillout town with a lot of great people.
Loking forward to the next days in Austin.

Off to Texas (Day 6)

Yesterday we got up early to catch our plane bound for Texas. We said our goodbyes and thanks to our friends Janne and Audun and hailed a cab to the airport. Arriving at the airport we checked in ourselves and our baggage, got some breakfast and went through security and on to the plane. We middle landed in Denver where we had to wait for a couple of ours for the plane to Texas. When we arrived at our destination, we felt the beautiful texan summer heat coming at us as soon as we passed through the airport doors. It felt really so good on our pale Scandinavian bodies. As the lucky bastards we are, Ruben has family in Austin, TX and they are on holiday in Orlando this week. So we get to use their car and live in their Incredibly beautiful 5 bedroom.. i dont know.. mansion.. i mean, the place even has a swimmingpool. We are four spoiled brats! Then we headed to downtown Austin to meet our manager and say hello to a couple of other people working at Futuresounds. Then we went to check out a couple of clubs, see some concerts and play pool.. Texas is great and we look forward to spend a week here.
