June 11, 2016 was the second to last night of an eight-week long international headlining tour that spanned several countries. We played to a small smattering of people at Vera in Groningen – a city in the far north of The Netherlands. About forty or so folks showed up on a Saturday night. We didn’t have any expectations of how the show would go, having never been to that part of the world before and being the only band on the bill. We didn’t feel too bad at the small turnout either, having been told by Peter Weening, the venue’s director for the past few decades, that when Nirvana played the same venue in 1990 just before Nevermind came out, and when U2 played there in 1980 just before Boy was released, there were roughly the same amount of people there. As you can see from the between song banter, when I don’t speak the language of the country we’re playing in, I talk about dumb shit a lot less than I do when we play in the US. Or maybe I say dumb shit still, but people just don’t know what I’m saying? Which might be better. Anyway, here’s some songs!
