The Lake Malawi 10 years anniversary tour ended last night in Valašské Meziříčí

En français

I wanted to conclude my series of articles about the Lake Malawi tour.

The previous articles are in French and can be found on the efr12 radio website:

Lake Malawi a 10 ans !

Lake Malawi met le feu à Brno

Lake Malawi relève un nouveau défi à Olomouc

Let me know if you need them translated, though I'm pretty sure google translate would do a good enough job at it.
This time I have to post the last article on my blog. It's not as glamorous as having it on an Eurovision Radio but it has the advantage of being bilingual and of giving me a bit more freedom with basically everything, so consider yourself warned.

On Wednesday, Lake Malawi played in Prague in the very crowded Lucerna Music Bar. The support was Tamara Kramar, who sings Lake Malawi's latest Christmas Song: Another Christmas Song with Albert Černý. That's one of my favorite songs and I wish they had sung it that night too even though it's April. You should listen to it even now it's totally appropriate at any time and especially now because it's cold anyway so who care that Christmas is more than half a year away. I liked the I Think I Made You Up cover and Mother Nature by Tamara Kramar.

 

Last night, Lake Malawi was in Valašské Meziříčí, this time the support band was I Love You Honey Bunny, a rock band that was also created in 2013, whose songs have interesting and relatable lyrics. I like Living, because sometimes I can't stand living either and I think Style Over Substance is absolutely hysterical. Both are on their new album which came out last year, you should go check it out, it also has Waiting Game which is pretty cool. When they finished with Lose Control which include the line “Let's go and start the show”, absolute respect.

 

Then Lake Malawi came on stage and everything else disappeared. 

We had a new guitarist as David Kandler couldn't make it so the songs were a bit different. He managed the part of Africa in the tour version of Bottom of the Jungle really well. We also had Jan Uvira on the keyboard doing his usual crazy thing but this time I think he was a bit out-shined by Pavel Plasil at the drum who was totally into it.

Then Albert Černý finished the concert with a solo at the piano. This time he played both Coco and Your House from his previous band Charlie Straight, and got everyone very emotional before leaving us to deal with the feels.  

 

And then Albert was back and… 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/JWkhFROUHN

Lake Malawi already announced more date for festivals this summer, you can find them on their website.

I had a great time going around Czechia in zigzag to follow the tour, so many big and small things happen, even little miracles. Thank you Lake Malawi, Domenika Hašková, Tomas Robin, QAI, Tamara Kramar and I Love You Honey Bunny and all the friends old and new I met on this trip for making this experience unforgettable. 

 

Now since I like you all very much, I made you a playlist of the 10 year tour concert songs, in order, and only missing the unreleased Lake Malawi song. Enjoy!

Northern Ireland: Newcastle (with Northern Ireland mix video)

Newcastle is a seaside resort town in County Down. It was called Newcastle from the castle built by Felix Magennis in 1588, which stood at the mouth of the Shimna River. This castle was demolished in 1830. Newcastle has a new teddy bear store called "Bear Necessities". The Hasting hotels has an heritage room where you can learn about history of the area and see some Hasting ducks. 

 

Here is the video, the part about Newcastle starts at 5:04.



And here are some pictures.

Vampire Friday: Vampire Heart 431

Welcome to a new part of Vampire Heart unedited. Have you been bitten yet? 

Summary of the previous episodes: Viorel has been tortured by his supposed family who wanted to have him burn in the sun. Strangely enough the sun didn't burn him as expected but Viorel has no memory of who he is. Following the advises of his supposed father, he left Sighișoara and is now traveling to the West. After some skirmish in a previous city, he found refuge on a boat. Viorel is now in Vienna. The little problem is that the guy at the inn was a bit of an asshole and helped capture Viorel thinking he was a vampire, which he is but nobody needs to know. Now there is a huge man (which I call the colossi) taking care of Viorel and a priest. They brought a girl. Torture my holy water... Fail. Viorel managed to confuse everyone, now he would like to get out of here. But the girl seems pretty useless. They still managed to escape and he left the girl to the care of the boat lady before going back to have two words with his captors but his power of persuasion were failing him. The priest wanted to crack a deal but Viorel is not really up to help his enemies. He finally got some blood but he can't risk to stay in Vienna. He travel to Linz were he stays a bit to learn German.

Viorel wanted to go to Praha but redirect himself toward Augsburg instead where he wants to get a horse, except that the horses are a bit scared of his vampirism and maybe something else. Viorel is really not a horse expert. Then he comes into an altercation with couple of people, he wants some fear in his blood. The girl Viorel has found seemed to enjoy the game. Viorel prepares for the nightmares that come with a feast of blood, in a rush to leave, he cross the dukedom of Lorrain.
We introduced Sorina, three weeks after the beginning of Viorel's escape.
Viorel dreamed of Sorina and woke up not really remembering anything. Traveling to Paris, he arrives at "La cour des miracles". He is rescued by a stranger who turned out to be Nicolas Flamel, the alchemist he was looking for. Nicolas does some strange experiment without Viorel's agreement. Some people are looking for Nicolas's secrets. On the other side of Europe, Sorina awakes and Viorel's past in haunting him. Viorel discovered that he can change into a wolf but that's not the easiest thing to handle. After finding out that a younger version of Nicolas might not be acting with his best interest at heart, Viorel decides to leave for the north. He is now traveling with two people, Alexej who needed to get out of Praha and Irina who he accidentally rescued.

 

 

Now, let's continue with Vampire Heart, right where we left off last time.

 

"You said not to let anyone else have it," Irina whispered. "Now I can see why."

I pushed her hand away from my neck and winked at her. I still needed blood and I had the perfect meal in front of me.

"Gather everything you can but don't make it too, heavy, I'll take care of him."

She stood and I placed myself between her and my guard.

"Looking for something," I said.

"How?" He looked past me to Irina.

"I'm here," I said and I jumped on him.

He was really weak. I would have expected more resistance but he lacked practice. Carrying a sword wasn't enough to make you know how to use it, you needed practice to become a warrior.

"You're pathetic," I said twisting his arm and breathing in his neck. "After mature reflection, I won't need to carry you around, a little girl and a werewolf who can't control himself are a lot better than you will ever be, your poor father must be so disappointed in you."

"My father was a fool who believed that he could talk and learn from the likes of you," he said.

Thursday Fiction 421: Parallel Slip 2: Rebel

Welcome back to a new Thursday Fiction, it's been a while. We continue with Parallel Slip 2: Rebel where we left of last time, following Isabelle as she figure out who she really is.

“Well all alone I didn't think about that,” Isabelle answered.

“Let's go take care of it,” Romulus said opening the door of the car.

Isabelle followed him out. The ground was muddy with rain. She was happy to have her boots but the shoe laces would need a good wash before she was able to use them again. She shouldered her backpack and walked behind Romulus trying to keep her feet on the dried crust as much as possible. It was pretty slippery.

The house was made of wood, and build half on stilts over the lake.

“Eric's grand-father came here to fish until his parents put him in the retiring home. He almost burned alive in this house, you can see the traces on the wall.” Romulus said.

You can now find all the Snippets of Parallel Slip 2: Rebel on this blog right here.
