Drunk Over Russia Tour '08 - Diary

 

We finally finished our tour diary of our trip to russia - yeah, yeah, it took us over two months, so we would like to say "sorry" for taking so long.

Unfortunately it's all in german and since Don doesn't have the time to translate all the stuff Silver and Brat wrote, you will have to fire up that online translato...

Dirty Russian Pictures

 

Dear brothers and sisters,

the first batch of dirty russian pictures have been added to our galleries, more to come in the next days.

Furthermore we recorded EVERY show and several hours of "on the road" material, which we are shifting through at the moment. But we can say, that we really have some awesome videos and pictures of the tour, which we all publish once we are through with it. When this will be, we can't say right now - but stay tuned! The teaser video of the tour in 2007 has already shown you a bit of what you can expect, but in 2008 we even put on some more...

Sunny Greetings,

your Fords

Priviet Russia,

at this point we would like to thank all of our russian friends for ten unforgetable days, which held everything we could have ever hoped for (sometimes even much more than we asked for ;) ).

A few tags:
Wild fans, jumping onto and off the stage, screaming, dancing, going wild; girls, girls, girls; apartments and night trains, impossible to describe; party all night and sleeping in the wardrobe; again a visit from nazis; a diet of chips and lots of wodka and beer; being the first foreign band to play in UFA; a spontaneous unplugged show; no time for showers - and a lot of laughing, excitement and fun!

We are totally destroyed - but happy!

A big "Thank You" goes to our german "roadies" Steini, Stephan und Axel for doing an awesome job. Another big "Thank You" goes to our russian tour guides Pavel, Dennis und Alex. A hearty "nastrowje" goes to Igor and Sascha, to the local organisators and all the bands that supported us.  Also a "Spasibo" goes to Jenya and Mascha, for following us around the whole tour and of course to each and everyone of you that came to our shows, we talked to and had fun with us!

Respect!

We'll see you again soon, many cheers from cologne,

Your Betties
