Just look at all the tender loving care that goes into pouring the average glass of beer in Belgium.
This particular beer was amazing. It’s pretty much the closest thing to the Holy Grail we found.
The video features our roadie and red right-hand man, Stan, who knows a thing or deux about beer.

Here’s a couple highlights of our favorite music videos we’ve caught on european tv.
Duck Sauce

This one is unbelievably Uber-German. Just try to make it to the chorus.

While in Belgium, we played our first prison gig.
The Hoogstraten State Prison is an old castle that Napoleon used to hang out in.

We weren’t allowed to take pictures of the inmates, but here is the view of the auditorium from the stage:

For dinner we ate prison sandwiches and drank toilet wine.

The inmates were loud and rowdy, hollering at Bru throughout the set, and Metalbelly nearly caused a riot at the end of ‘Down in Mexico’.

Here’s our video diary of the gig:

This picture was taken the morning after Metallbelly bedded a Belgian waffle heiress. He’s been AWOL for 32 hours now…. we only received this picture via his iphone.

For our first gig in Europe, we had the honor of opening for New Jersey legend Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes at Paradiso in Amsterdam.  A former church, Paradiso is a beautiful room with amazing acoustics, and a packed house of over 1000 welcomed The Defibulators, kicking off our tour in style.

Arriving in Belgium with plenty of baggage…
But we’re greeted with a raised US flag at our homestead in the woods…

And the best beer in funny glasses at our new local pub.
