MNEMIC Guitarist Issues Update From The Road
MNEMIC guitarist Mircea Gabriel Eftemie has issued the following update:
"We are really sorry for not keeping you up to date with the progress of our North American tour, but here we finally are, still alive and in the hot swamps of Florida at Disney World. (We will definitely kick the shit out of Mickey Mouse, with some heavy & danish fuckin metal, if he shows up.)
If we back up a little, the tour started at Jaxx (VA), which is a perfect place to start a tour. The crowd is always insane and hungry for metal and we always have a really good time there (drinkin' 101!).
It was also good seeing our swedish friends in SOILWORK, cause its been way too long, and its definitely great being out on the road with them again. We've also made new and great friends in DARKEST HOUR and THREAT SIGNAL, which are ass kicking bands you definitely have to check out!
From Jaxx, its been nothing but a trip. Canada has been more than amazing, especially the French part, where Guillaume (Bideau - singer) started a riot on stage, speaking french to the crowd (don't ask me what he said, cause I really don't have a clue - but it was all good fun).
From the Canadian east-cost, all the way back to the American west-coast, we destroyed The Pound in San Francisco.
We had a great time playing and partying there - hooked up with our buddy Pat from WATCH THEM DIE, who's been helping the band for a long time (mentally). At the end of the night we got Steve DiGiorgio super drunk, who all of the sudden started speaking Norwegian to us!! Great and fun times! Thanks to Pat & Steve for making this a memorable day. We would also like to thank the promoter there, for having us play for the 3rd time and would like to wish him all the best for the future. That was the last gig for The Pound since its closing. Also a big shout-out to our buddy KENNY!!!! We hope to see you as well in the future bro!
From SF, to Hollywood to Anaheim, Arizona to this day, its been nothing but killer, intense, hot, cold, dirty and heavy and all the bands have one mission: Musically Crushing North America!
We would like to thank all the Mnemic fans that have been coming to the shows, hanging out, singing along our songs, moshing and thrashing out! YOU are the best!"
