Driving and Terneuzen.

On Friday 28th of October, The Roughneck Riot headed out to Europe to embark upon our 30 day European tour. We're starting a blog to let everyone know that we're not dead, dying or suffering from any diseases e.g. syphillis, fascism, etc.

We arrived in Terneuezen at around 8 in the morning after a hefty drive through England, France and Belgium only to be greeted by a first-class con-artist on a bicycle. Aside from that, we were greeted with great weather and great hospitality from everyone at De Pit, feeding us with endless supplies of Jupiler and Chocomel.

Our good friends The Buccaneers arrived and have made us feel nothing but welcome, with special thanks to Arlyn and Phillip Hofmeister. They stormed the gig with a tasty 17 song set and we're looking forward to the next 5 days with them. We hit the stage and couldn't have asked for a better first gig. Finished the night with a rousing bunch of Dutch beverages and a great laugh with The Buccaneers.

The following day we cleaned, waited for breakfast and drove 9 hours to Regensburg to stay with Philip and Arlyn of The Buccaneers. 3 days off from gigs to busk, sleep and eat German pastries.
