within two weeks. The band performed in London, Leeds, Leicester and many more. This
became such a success that the band planned another tour in summer 2006 but
unfortunately the band wasn't able to get back in such a shirt time. Although a couple of
venues already had been booked, the band decided to cancel this tour except for 1 gig in
Rhyl.
The band also performs for the second time in one of the most famous venues in The
Netherlands: 013 in Tilburg. The band also got the reputation for smashing guitars and
drums at the end of the show, just like Nirvana did.
