BONDED BY BLOOD CHECK IN FROM EUROPEAN TOUR

Californian thrashers BONDED BY BLOOD are currently shredding their way around Europe on a co-headlining tour with LAZARUS A.D.

The tour is BONDED BY BLOOD's first outing in Europe with new frontman MAURO GONZALEZ.  Following the first leg of the tour in the UK, the band are now in mainland Europe where bassist JERRY GARCIA has been keeping a tour diary of the band's antics.

An excerpt from JERRY's latest tour update follows:

"Hey what's up guys!  Just checking in here from Vienna in Austria.  We had some incredibly epic nights recently and the highlights without a doubt are Zurich, Switzerland and Prague, Czech Republic!  The fans out there absolutely kick ass.  We had fans hanging from the ceiling, singing our songs, jumping on stage, buying us all sorts of alcoholic beverages, buying us pizza!  Great times in both of these countries.  It is such an honor to be able to come halfway across the globe and meet people that want nothing more than to spend some time with you and have a beer or two.  It is an incredibly humbling experience and one I will never forget.

"The scenery out here is rad!  Everything looks so epic that it is hard to explain.  After touring nothing but North America I am happy to see a forest where different kinds of trees grow and animals live, or buildings that were built hundreds of years ago compared to the skyscrapers of New York.

"Lately we all came down with a bit of a cold and cough.  We're doing better now and the great catering we get every night is helping us get back to 100% way faster than any of the times we've been sick on tour in the States when all we have to eat sometimes is a McDouble and tap water."
