Log> Evernight over Europe pt. 3

Rocking the Friday night in Switzerland! This comes from a packed Late Night Club in Thun, and the gig is in solid form. Henkka the drummer wasn't feeling too good during the day and I could swear the first few songs sounded slower than normally on a gig, but I think he's been picking up the speed by now.

But I can't believe we lost the frigging backdrop somewhere in Germany. The marketing guy in me is still sensitive to issues of presentation and branding, and it's just better when the 200 people watching a band's gig also see their name in the background - at least better when compared to a stained brick wall. Of course, we should screw branding and go for a more creative approach: heavy metal bands in general are thin on visuals. Battlelore draws so much from a fantasy setting that there could be a lot to do (and not just the plain old swords-and-sorcery imagery). I keep getting ideas, but knowing that I'll just wander the world without a permanent home for at least a year from now efficiently puts me off any implementation.

Dammit, I can hear half the audience singing along to Sons of Riddermark. Horselords, the men of Rohan, allies of Gondor the land below... to the battlefield!
