This sunday we play this new venue only 12 km from my home, as a support-act for Fates Warning! Pretty stoked about this, because I'm a FW fan for about 15 years now :)

Great venue to play, great band to play with, I'm really looking forward to this show!

Great stuff! Sort of a hometown band for me - grew up one town over from the guys in Fates Warning. I remember with fondness finding Night on Bröcken in the imports record section of my local record store (for some reason all those old underground metal releases were in the import section despite being recorded in a studio in a studio less than 10 miles from my house here in the good old US of A). It had that "interestingly" low quality cover - but hey, they were from the town next to me so it was a must buy for a 17 year old kid that loved all things metal.

That purchase back in 1984 started my appreciation for John Arch and Jim Matheos's music. While I also liked later stuff with Ray Alder, those first three albums are still classics to me.
 
man, I'm jelous. Fates Warning is one of my favorite bands, they're one of the few bands who managed to release great quality music over a long period of time. also really liked the arch/matheos project (and also the arch solo project ep). congrats!
 
Thanks guys, I haven't been this nervous for a gig ever! (well, and we haven't played live for 6 months and didn't rehearse too serious lately... we're a last minute addition to the concert, but I'm not complaining! This is gonna be the 7th gig we play with Spiralcove :) )
