Long time since anyone wrote anything in this blog!
Anyway, last weekend Sparzanza was of to Finland again. This time to play at the festival Sauna Open Air. We left Karlstad on friday afternoon. This time The Mighty Kim could not drive us so we got a nice new dude to drive and help us out named Karl. Cool dude!
Also Magnus could not play this festival so Krolle from Inferior helped us out once more! So 6 merry men in a minibus on a Finland ferry, well it could only mean one thing - KARAOKE!!!
Fred got lots of great feedback after singing some tunes, I did not! I wonder why?
We met the guys from Hammerfall on the boat aswell and had a few beers with them! Cool guys that we have not met before.
A little bit hung over we woke up the next morning and went our way to Tampere! Got to the festival area very early and met up with our friends from Headstomp and formerly bandmembers of Silver Moth. Just the sight of the stage at the festival area made Krolle a bit nervous (well, me too actually). The headliners, Motley Crue, (their crew) was preparing the stage so our soundcheck got a bit late, but that was no problem!
And then it was time to go on stage. When our intro started I looked out and saw thousands of people in front of the stage. We did a set about 50 minutes long and the audience was paralyzed! Best gig so far I must say. Everyone in the band played as good as they possibly could so…it was a blast!!!
Just before we had to leave Tampere to catch a boat back to Sweden we had time to say hi to Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue!

Now we are really looking forward to some other festivals in Sweden that we are going to play. We will also try to find some time to record a special treat for all of our fans this summer and write new songs!
Cheers!
