Mar 14 Unforgettable first time in Scotland

The night before our gig in Edinburgh, first of 2 gigs in Scotland, we were all gathered in the lobby of our hotel, a cool and quiet mezzanine just above the bar, where nobody else was ever coming, so much that it made us feel like it was our own private place. After celebrating Sef’s birthday for a second time by having a chat on the SFCC community club, in which Sef has been grandiosely Sef. There’s no one but him to tell you important sentences like “So guys!! really important to remember… you have to buy my T-shirt to embrace this deep dimension of rock… see you in the next Galaxay guys!! http://yfestore.com/main/items/product-category/be-rock-or-be-rolled/”. From Star Wars to Costco cakes to Sef’s own universe, this live chat sure was a unique moment!

Followed a great discussion between us, until almost 5am. A discussion about the stretch of gigs to come, but especially about us. Because in this present stretch of shows, there are 9 individuals, with their own challenges, with their own successes, with their own joy, and sadness. Being on the road like we are is such an incredible blessing, one that we need to count over and over again every day. It was a simple yet very intense moment, that would become a pure example of how intense the night to come would be.

I think we were all a bit nervous before the gig in Edinburgh, but it went wonderfully well! Here is what Alex said after it, that I think describes well what we mean when we say that it’s beyond music for us!

I had such an inspiring time with Your Favorite Enemies (YFE) tonight in the wonderful city of Edinburgh… thankfully an intimate concert… because it wouldn’t have been that fulfilling for me personally if there would have been more people to commune with tonight… I always give everything on stage, always, even when I don’t feel like I have anything to give at all… but tonight, I received more than I could have prayed for… it was simply touching and moving for me, as again, the most intense part of a YFE concert (as if it was possible to be more intense as it actually is right now lol) can be a conversation after the sounds and noises faded away… tonight is eternal!!!

And then we had the gig at King Tuts in Glasgow, a venue where a lot of famous bands played, and known for being the venue where Oasis really started as a band. There’s always a hint of stress before a gig, but somehow, it seemed to a little higher today… So we collectively decided to let go fully and enjoy the moment for what it would be, for a gig that became one of the best of the tour – everybody we’ve talked to told us they had never seen a gig like this before! We have met incredible people, old and new friends, had inspiring discussions, and we’re really thankful for this. You guys have all made this gig an unforgettable one! And once again, you have proved us that YOU, and those unique relationships we have with each and every one of you, are the most incredible blessings we could have wished for!

Scotland, we will miss you!
