Aarhus

Saying goodbye to Hamburg, we plunged north into new territory - Denmark! Our first stop was Aaurhus, Denmark's second city. As we struggled to get to grips with the currency, the Kroner, and the exchange rate, Matt splashed out on what turned out to be a nose-bleedingly expensive McDonalds, coming in at almost £20 for him and Ash... Denmark is PRICEY!

In Aarhus, our venue was called Atlas, a big music hall. Incredible sound, super high end sound system and lights - the opposite from Hamburg, but as something of a badge of pride, I think the band places great in both settings, and we definitely enjoyed both gigs!

The venue was definitely an ambitious one for our first time in a new country, and we far from packed the place (it could probably hold 300 people?!), but it felt like a massive improvement on our first trips to, for instance, Munich, where we played to one person!

Aarhus itself was a bit of a mystery - once we arrived at the venue and soundchecked, we were scared to venture much further than the (amazing) burger bar round the corner, for fear one of us wiping out our whole earnings for the week by buying a beer or some matches.

The burger we had for dinner was one of the biggest burgers I've ever had, leaving me winded in a chair, wincing and hoping I could get to the stage.
