“We’re gathered today again around music… It is music that brought us here, not only in Europe, but that brought us all together…” – Ben

Today was rehearsal day for Your Favorite Enemies, just before their first show takes place in Milton Keynes on the 16th! It’s been a few days that they didn’t play music at all, so they were like kids playing again!! We rented a very nice local, where we started setting up the amps and instruments… But we faced so many technical problems before we could even start that is was actually worrying! The power bars blew up. 2 of them. And then the keyboard completely gave out. It stopped working. There was no sound coming out – AT ALL! We freaked out a little bit, but being at John Henry’s, they quickly found a solution for us… And then Miss Isabel got herself a new keyboard. The electricity shut down 3 times. The console controlling the voice effects and all the in-ears started acting crazy, we think because of the different electricity, it seems to be back in order now! It was a hard day for the electronics in YFE’s world today… And after all of this, when all seemed to be back in order, we took a little break… Just to get over our emotions from the day so far… lol

The rehearsal, despite those problems, went amazingly well! The guys felt good on stage, and it showed through each and every song they played! It was truly incredible to see them enjoy themselves so much! I am telling you, the shows will be INCREDIBLE!  Everything is always intense with Your Favorite Enemies; they know no other way! So a simple “jam” always turns out being a moment in itself, becoming eternal. The emotions you feel when you watch them “rehearse” are as strong and as real as when you watch them live… Because it’s real! There’s no denying it… And nothing speaks better than pictures, right…? So here’s a few couple for you!

There’s always a little bit of stress before a show… But they managed to feel comfortable playing, letting go to the sound, and enjoying the moment… so comfortable that some even took the comfort of taking their shoes off… 😉

But at the end of the day, when we were reflecting on all the problems we encountered, we felt pretty blessed that it happened today… And what really remains on our minds is the moment that we shared together, that music gathered us all together… And that we’ll very soon share with you!!
