Eurolog: The Franco Files

admin — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 07:53:55 +0000

WARNING: MAY CAUSE VERTIGO, EXTREME EXCITEMENT, and HEART PALPITATIONS. It’s a live take, shot on a FLIP camera by our French friend and fan, Stan, as he couldn’t resist dancing to the DEFiBILATORs song, ‘Defibulator’, while trying to keep the shot centered. It proves for a very experimental look into yet another moment of the Euro Tour, Fall 2009.

Beer Diary from Wechelderzande, Flanders

admin — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 00:25:38 +0000

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.

Our favorite european music videos…

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.

Wierd European Santas. Vol.1

admin — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:14:11 +0000

We came across our first of many bizarre Santa displays we’ve found on tour here.

This ‘Sinterklaas’ is from a storefront in Lier.

The Defibulators go to Prison!

admin — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:29:21 +0000

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:
