Drones Tour Diary Continues To Be Best Blog We’ve Read In Ages

We gave you the heads up about the marvellous Drones tour diary, penned by the band’s guitarist Dan Luscombe Esq, right when it started. Well, the end is nigh with just one post to go before the tour – and thus Oh Calamity: A Drones Tour Diary – is over for good.

Haven’t bothered checking it out? Here’s an excerpt from when the band were in Germany.

Two more shows followed in Italy, which were once again fatality free, and then a festival here in Mainz, Germany. A festival which at first seemed downright scary in a fun for the whole family kind of way, turned out to be a real humdinger. Hundreds of writhing Germans, and our first encounter with en masse bodysurfing. After the show two little guys about the age of ten came backstage, and made us write all over their arms with a permanent marker, and declaring in a very thick German accent that Gareth is like “Dracula with a guitar”. Which he is, of course.

I have to stop writing this claptrap now. We went to a fucking disastrous sushi train earlier, and frankly, I’m a little frightened for my life. I have never seen sushi that colour before, and canned peach and pineapple on a plate is surely a sign of a restaurant a little unsteady on it’s feet. Let’s face it, the last time the two countries teamed up it wasn’t a roaring success.

Gracious.

Luscy has promised that the upcoming last ever post on Oh Calamity “is going to get me sued – I can’t wait.”

Neither can we, sir. Neither can we.
