Hi,
We’d like to apologize to the people that waited all day to see us only to have us play about 30 min (at 3.30am!!!) heres the story -
we were all flying from Washington DC on Thursday Sept 28th - due to bad weather, Mark’s flight into DC was cancelled & he missed the flight to Paris..so he had to fly the next day - and had to pay full price for another ticket as he was a no-show..so he gets into Paris the day of the show at 1:00pm or so, due to the crazy connection time in Paris (35 mins) he missed that connection too & ended up arriving into Madrid at 7.00pm - the airline lost his guitars and amp rack just to add insult to injury.(I had brought one guitar for Mark so he had that at least)
A few bands were nice enough to move their shows forward (thanks Destruction, thanks Doro!!) but the promotor asked the reps of the others & they wanted to play at their alloted times…so we were told we could play last..at 2 - 3 am & there was a possiblity we could get cut off. So, we gave it a shot…were told to stop & left. then we were told to come back and play another song - unfortunately the sound crew had already started breaking stuff down so we had no vocals..no monitors..so it was “arse upwards” all the way. So Mark was travelling from Thursday at noon until 10.00pm when he arrived at the gig - after the gig we got 2 hours sleep & back to the airport to face more cancellations, delays etc…aaaaaggggghhh

The audience: amazingly ALL of them stayed to the end - we thank you - we apologize & hope to make it up to you with a REAL show in 2007

all the best,
RAVEN
