I went to Paganfest in Santa Clara, CA last night....and it was great! The opening band Suidakra wasn't bad. They put on a good show. Eluveitie wasn't bad either...the vocalist was not that bad live (recorded, on the other hand, is a different matter IMO). I was disappointed in Tyr...they only played 3 songs! What's up with that? They did play my favorite songs though.

Turisas put on a very entertaining show to say the least. They even brought a disco ball in for "Rasputin"...it was really funny

The croud loved it. Hanu also took the oportunity to tease some girls that were right next to the stage. They were right in front of me so I looked up and saw him sticking out his tongue at them. It was very silly

That accordian player is really good by the way. It looked like she was having fun. However, I do have a question: Which beer was Nygard drinking? Someone mentioned Lapin Kulta, is that what he was drinking? And yes, Budwieser is like piss water, its gross.

And then, lastly, Ensiferum took to the stage and also put on a great show. The only thing is I have yet to figure out what they were wearing! Haha.

P.S. I am guessing that "Rasputin" was an excuse to make fun of Russians

nb: looks like arizona gig is cancelled, just in case someone planned on going there!

and @dragonkeeper: if it was some blue can or bottle with blue sticker, it's most certainly LK, sadly it seems to be the only beer finns are exporting. we only get this one in switzerland either.

I didn't see a bottle, he was just waving around a glass of dark beer while making a speech saying the beer that he was drinking was better than Budweiser. Since he went through so much effort I would like to try that beer now hehehe.

Anyone know if the El Paso show is still a going to happen?
I've got two good friends who flew all the way from western South Dakota to see the Phoenix show only to have it canceled two hours before the hand, completely blame the venue, its a sh!thouse by anyones standards the management couldn't have found their butts with both hands. I'd been asking them about tickets ever since it got transfered to them and no one could ever give me a straight answer. Friends flew down on faith that the show would happen as scheduled. El Paso show would be the last option for them on this tour... Would make the drive if we knew the El paso show was still on(Myspace for Paganfest isnt really clear and the venue answering machine says they are open Thursdays-Saturdays...) and we could get tickets. Many thanks if someone might have some inside information.

Wow, that sucks. I'm sure Rapid City to Phoenix wasn't cheap either. Good luck in getting to a show.

One week til the Atlanta show!

Hope the Atlanta show goes off without any problem.

Nope it wasn't at at all. Not to mention the fact there really isn't anything else in Phoenix to justify the trip.

But they are devoted warriors of viking metal so I just hope I can find out with some authority that the show tonight will be happening and that I can get them to it. Don't like the idea of shelling out 150+ in gas but hey, what are friends for and it would be worth it if we could see all these great bands play.

i just checked with the eluveitie guys and they dont know anything that todays show got cancelled, so it SHOULD happen (if the place wont blow up or so..).
i hope they're gonna make it in time and enjoy the show over there. must suck to travel so far for nothing (speaking of arizona now).

Hey everyone. On behalf of Turisas, a BIG sorry for the people who intended to go to the Phoenix gig. We got the cancellation notice quite late and would have definitely played if only the tour organization wouldn't have decided otherwise. We really hope to play there in the near future.
