Hey everybody!
The time has come again to get in the van and hit the road. Except this time we're starting on a plane!!
My friends band (The Shrine) have been working hard and got an awesome break opening up for Fu Manchu on their upcoming European tour. Many countries, a gig almost everynight its gonna be quite the ride.
I'm lucky enough to get a spot in the van tagging along promoting my pedals. I'm doing my best to get as many units completed to take with me and put at their merch table. I would love to meet anyone on here. If your gonna be at any of these shows come find me! Really wanna connect and meet other Mad-beaners!!
Here's the flyer with the list of shows...
I'm so excited ;D

Congrats! That will be a blast.
I've been a Fu fan since Action is Go. Bought a Mexi Jag and a Green Russian within a month.
Take plenty of pictures for us.
THat is fantastic. Congrats. I have been a FMC fan since early on as well.
"table toppin' low like we aint never seen" ;)
ALRIGHT MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Fu is one of those untouchable Way Up On A Pedestal bands in my world. It's pretty much them and AC/DC on the top shelf.
I also just listened to your video on fb and that Shrine Fuzz slays!
Have fun and know that I am absolutely green with envy :o
Man, that's a great opportunity!! You lucky dog, you! I'll try to get a ticket for the show in Eindhoven, maybe I'll meet you there!

I'll try to go at the Luxembourg show, it's 40miles from home.
Congrats buddy!
Dude, that's awesome! That will be a fun experience.
I guess I'll wait to mail you your pitch pirate. :D
Man thats awesome! Jealous much, have fun! 8)
Oh its gonna be amazing. I really do hope to meet up with someone from here! I will take pictures, drink tons of beer and rock the ;D out everynight
congrats!

I might come to the gig i in gothenburg!
So first night was a real blast! My friends got a good response and Fu killed it of course, but even crazier the DAM guy was there. Talked to him for a good while, he complimented my work so much it was slightly unbelievable. This guy is a legend, he sold a pedal on ratbay for over $2K. Very honored I must say.
He was so impressed that I got all that muff in a box that fits in the palm of your hand (1590B). I think its nothing compared to what some of you do. But he kept urging me that I need big boxes so he gave me his card as a source for enclosures!
Now its 6am and we leave to London in 3 hours, I can hardly sleep.
What a way to start...
What an amazing beginning for your trip! You must so proud ;)
Hey thats totally awesome Magic... wow what a start
cool :)
Josh
Nice! Glad you are off to a good start! What is DAM?

DAM is a pedal company that makes cool fuzz pedals. They have an almost cult following of customers (prepared to pay 2k a pedal as muff said :o). They also make the infamous Meathead Fuzz.
Sounds like your having a cool time dude!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think one of the guys in Fu Manchu also makes pedals (I think the pedals name is Creepy Fingers). His stuff is drooled over nearly as much as the DAM stuff on stompboxes.co.uk!
$2000?!? Pffft! That's museum piece pricing in my book.
:)

Yup you are Correct. Brads an awesome guy with a huge knowledge of this pedal world. Today im in Paris and its quite the site! I swear ill get some pictures for ya'll..
I agree..that 3 circuit fuzz that sold for 2k was crazy. He pretty much shrugged it off when i brought it up :)
Red wine! Babes! Eiffel Tower! Coffee! Croissants!
I'm eating a french croissant actually... I think I'll go to the Luxembourg show ;D
i should also add that i can get you (whoever comes) in for free if you show up early...we have a empty guest list every night...find the beard shrine crew and ask for me!
Hey Magic, you guys coming to Canada?
