ah... Slovenia

last night we played a dynamite gig here in celje, slovenia. all our shows thus far have been outdoors. it takes some getting used to in terms of on-stage sound but with the weather being so nice, it's been a real treat. that is, of course, until you start swallowing bugs when you're trying to sing. our stage in celje was set up in front of some remaining outer walls of the old city built in the 15th century. we had a couple hundred people come out to see our performance. the crowds vary night to night but by and large these shows are open to the whole town and people of all ages come to see us. you can see our gear just under the steps:

a couple nights back we played idrija, slovenia... a gorgeous town up in the hills. it was founded some 500 years ago when mercury was discovered there. once again, slovenia has proven to be a beautiful country with incredible terrain and miles and miles of unspoiled forests and wilderness. here's a couple shots of the town:
this is a view of the main square. you can see our stage on the left:

we had a 20 minute drive to velenje today and once again the weather is beautiful. we've got a couple more shows here in slovenia and then head south into croatia early next week. stay tuned!
