BTS - Off Festival Aug '25 (Patreon)

What's up psychos? Thought i'd share some disposable camera photos from when we played in Poland last year. It was a whirlwind experience because we flew to Europe for just this one festival gig. Festival shows are also kinda stressful because our soundchecks are very limited and backstage is hectic with so much gear to change over between multiple acts.

I was having a difficult week before we left, but the show was great and the energy from the crowd gave me LIFE. I think it's easy to forget performers are people too, and that means entertaining when we aren't feeling our best or have heavy things going on in our personal lives. So it means that much more to get that positive feedback loop going with the audience.

It was also the first time we ever played Scrape My Data live! Stoked it went off and it's def one of our favs to play live now. It's probably the most difficult song for me not because the parts are particularly complicated but because i'm super extra multitasking with fx pedals/singing and guitar. I believe it was the first time we ever played Down to the Essence as well. I remember Matt pacing around backstage in this open field trying to memorize the lyrics one last time LOL. I honestly don't know how he remembers so many lyrics in general. Love that guy.

Another highlight was getting to see the iconic Kraftwerk. It was kind of raining the entire day which was a bummer, but we stuck it out for the legends. I know there is only one original member with them now (Ralf Hütter) and it's nuts to see him still up there jamming at 80 years old. Would Machine Girl exist without Kraftwerk? Probably not!

Anyhoo - enjoy the flix. More goodies to come.

ps - i'm 95% sure there is professionally shot footage from this show somewhere that I will try to acquire somehow in the future.
