Further evidence that the Spanish are insane RnR fans comes courtesy of Nicke, guitarist with the Dee Rangers, up there in the Frozen North: Bandwise we haven't played that many gigs since last we were in touch, two gigs in Stockholm and two in Spain while recording in Gijon with Jorge from Dr. Explosion. I think the stuff will be great. Jorge is a fantastic guy and he took real pride in being the host and showed us the best restaurants and bars. There was of course only vintage gear in the studio, like a Telefunken 60's mixing table (same as Abbey road), Selmer Zodiac Twin guitar amp and Vox amps for Johnny (bass) and Parsley (keys). Played one gig in Gijon at a jazz/blues place and it was a bad turnout tho we played good. The gig in Madrid was a blast, and if you've heard from a lot of people that the Spanish crowds are crazy and ecstatic, you've heard right! When we'd played our set Parsley and Johnny were surrounded by three-four people each stopping them from leaving the stage. I almost got to the back stage room when a guy got hold of me and pushed me a good 20 meters back to the stage... great stuff, and I hope we'll go back there soon.
