Happy pets in Stockholm

Davy Vain is in Stockholm town again and he's hanging out with his favorite pet Skinny. Happy Times!

Party Rome away

2012-01-14T04:20:00.000+01:00

The party... Being squeezed in between these lovely Dope Stars Inc guys makes any night perfect.

Ey! It's colossal!

2012-01-13T18:14:00.000+01:00

Sightseeing day is over. Now: When in Rome, do as the Romans do... PARTY!

All roads leads to Rome

2012-01-13T12:22:00.000+01:00

We decided to take a trip down to Rome and today is the big sightseeing day. We started with taking the bus to the Vatican and the St Peter's Basilica. Now we're sitting in a super hip bar having a beer before heading down to Colosseum. Cheers!

Happy New Year!

2012-01-01T12:30:00.000+01:00

I hope everybody had a great night last night. I know it's hard to believe but last night was a pretty calm night with my family. I say like Dean Martin: Only amateurs party on New Years.

New family member

2011-12-24T14:52:00.000+01:00

As you know we've been struggling a little bit with iPig lately and he's been whining a lot about that he's tired of touring and all the late party's. So after a long talk with him after the tour we came to an agreement that he will retire and spend his last days in life golfing in Florida.
Luckily the Ersdal family has kept in contact with his family since his birth and managed to get hold of a younger cousin of his who was up for the task. He's from the SuperPig breed and I've decided to name him "King".

Okay so the tour is over and as soon as I've gained some strength I will post some nice pictures from it here. But for now, this is what you will have to live with.

Funny YouTube Clips

2011-12-07T15:19:00.000+01:00

I'm sorry for not posting much on here this tour. We've had really bad luck with internet in the venues and I also write tour diary for some magazines and websites.
I just would like to share some of the funniest clips I've seen in a long time. If you have more clips you think I should see, let me know.

White Trash

2011-11-24T21:33:00.001+01:00

Me, Vice and Damón just finished a great dinner at White Trash in Berlin. We're all stuffed and will now focus on these tasty cocktails.

Backstage party

2011-11-23T21:49:00.000+01:00

Our friend Mirko showed up at the show in Munich last night. Happy party people!

Party Pig

2011-11-22T19:12:00.001+01:00

Yesterday the pig was partying more than ever and when he woke up he was really surprised looking in the mirror. Apparently he got a nose job done some time during the night. We know he's been hanging out with celebrities a lot lately and we think it could have affected him to do this. We still love him but he's been acting really weird lately. We gotta make sure he doesn't turn into a diva.
We make him play black metal the rest of the day to make sure he knows his purpose in life.

New tattoo!

Pretty earring

2011-11-11T18:07:00.001+01:00

Thank you Zagreb and Budapest for 2 amazing shows.
I found this girl after the show yesterday who made an earring designed after my bass. Yeah!
Right now we're having a day off in Prague and we're looking forward to the dinner with Rammstein tonight. It's also Nightmare's birthday so I think we will try a few beers.

Ljubljana!

2011-11-07T23:16:00.001+01:00

We are so happy about the last couple of days. The first show with Rammstein was great and we decided to have a few more of them. Right now we're having a day off in Ljubljana and we're looking forward to the show in Zagreb tomorrow.

And the tour begins.

2011-11-03T11:47:00.000+01:00

Yesterday I woke up at 5:30 in the morning without even an alarm clock. I was eager to pack the rest of my stuff and meet up with the boys.

We took the train down to Gothenburg where the tour kicked off and we had plenty of things to take care of before the gig.

The show went pretty good even though we haven't played live for 14 months. But before the encore while sitting in the hallway next to the stage, Whiplasher starts to vomit out of exhaustion. He manages to get up on stage anyway to do one more song. Good boy!

Chaos

2011-10-31T16:02:00.000+01:00

I've been really busy the last couple of days. On friday I was DJing at Deadhead's Lounge after band-practice. On Saturday we had a release-party for "Greatest Hits on Earth" and a sneak-preview of the video for "Metal". I could only stick around for half an hour cause I was DJing at "This is Halloween". Unfortunately I didn't have time to dress up properly for the Halloween party so I settled with an old favorite, "Skinny bin Laden".

Yesterday we had a hang-over rehearsal and we're all pretty stressed about trying to find time to pack our bags and pay our bills cause there's still a lot of things that needs to be fixed.

Now I can flex my guns as much as I want to.
