Indonesia/ Taiwan/ China

The Jakarta show in Indonesia was unfortunately cancelled. Some of us went to the mall shopping and some of us just chilled at the hotel. There was a really nice restaurant and bar in the hotel and that suited us perfectly.

The Taipei show in Taiwan was sweet. The venue was really huge, awesome building. We had a meet and greet with the fans there and met some Finnish people who work there in Taiwan.

Next day we had a flight to Shanghai, China and had a show at the same day so it was really a long day for us, 22 hours or so...There seemed to be a problem with the drums, for example there was no ride symbal at all. But after half an hour someone had find that symbal and we were finally ready to go. We were a bit late but still. We met some fans after the show and everything worked pretty smoothly after all.

Brisbane/ Melbourne, Australia

Brisbane seemed to be a very cool city as well. We arrived there the day before the show so we had time to walk around. We had nice steak dinner at a very cool restaurant near the river. I also bought a black leather "bush hat" and have wore it since.





















In Melbourne we went to the aquarium and saw penguins and tons of different fishes. Tony went on stage with Vanishing Point to sing one song with them. We had some fun time. We enjoyed Australia really much and we all are wishing to be able to go back there again.

Sydney, Australia

We played in Sydney on new year´s eve. We arrived the day before so we had some time to walk around the city. We got sun sunburned quite nicely so we bought some cool Australia caps...We went for a speed boat drive and that was really nice change for us. Ahti bought cool ice-cream as you see...Australia seems to be very cool place. Next we are heading to Brisbane. Stay tuned!

After the Hannover show we had two shows in The Netherlands, in Tilburg and in Amsterdam. It´s always good to be in Holland. We had a dinner at Hard Rock Cafe in Amsterdam. On the 12th. and the 13th. it was time for Norway. We had a nice ferry ride from Denmark to Kristiansand, Norway. We were almost like real tourists :-)

The Last shows of this tour we had in Sweden so we were basically at home already :-) Actually we are still in Stockholm when I´m writing this, so we have still one show ahead of us. We ordered some Swedish meat balls as an after show food, so no more pizza!!! never :-) Happy Holidays for everyone from us all!!

Nov 28.-Dec 08.

On the 28th we played at Heineken, Madrid. Then we had to cancel the French shows ´cause Tony´s voice needed a rest and he was feeling quite ill. We drove straight to Dortmund in Germany where we played on wednesday the 2nd. We had a couple days rest at the hotel. We had chance to go to "Alice In Chains" show to Munich on Monday. We took the train with Ville (monitor tech.). The show was a killer!!

Then we head to England to have some shows in London, Prestatyn and Dudley. Pretty decent shows, the London show was sold out. In Prestatyn we played at Hard Rock Hell Festival and met the the guys of Korpiklaani and had some drinks...On the 6th we played in Antwerp, Belgium at Hoft Ter Lo. Then on the 7th we had a day off in Hannover where we played the next day.

Nov 22.-27.

Nov 22.-27.

On the road again! Once again we played a killer show at Z7 in Pratteln, Switzerland. Really cool place in many ways. One is that they have a washing machine. We celebrated the 10 year anniversary of the release of Sonata´s first album "Ecliptica".

After that on the 23. and 24. we had shows in Germany, Stuttgart and Nurnberg. On wednesday we played in Milan, Italy. Really great once again. In Italy we always have such a huge audience. 26th was a day off for us and we stayed in some fancy hotel in Spain. I can´t remember the name right now, but the view was really awesome as you can see!

European Tour "Last Amazing Grays 2009"

Nov 12.-21.

Hola!

We had a such a good start to this tour with Delain and Winterborn. We played cool shows in The Czech, Slovakia and Serbia. And for the first time ever in Slovakia and Serbia, so it was really exiting for us. And the shows were super cool! You fans are awesome!

We got to Hungary and Tony was feeling a bit sick. It turned out that he had some problems with his throat and especially, his voice.. We had to cancel the two Austrian shows and the Munich show. It´s a pitty, but we will make it up to you, the fans. We promise.

We have now stayed at the same spa-hotel in Austria for three or four days and it´s starting to be really boring, Everything is really nice and even the sauna is...almost perfect..but it´s not funny to just lay down when there´s some work to be done. As you can see from the picture, the room of Marko and me is starting to be a "logistic nightmare" ;-). We just have to cope this situation. For one thing, I already know that Tony is feeling much better right now. Hope all works out well, we want to kick some ass!!
