thank you leon & guanajuato!

dear friends,

greetings from madrid, spain. just wanted to thank everyone who took part in our european leg during the past five weeks or so. so… thank you, thank you very much indeed. amazing nights, lots and lots of new friends and usual everyday psychedelia – just spectacular.

also, we’re about to play our first ever shows in mexico this week – needless to say, we are all really excited. we’ve heard many good things about the festival and can hardly wait to visit you guys there so see you soon.

and yes, we’re finally coming back to the states, straight from mexico actually… we’ve been invited to support LIGHTS on her US tour which is, of course, just amazing. after that we shall play some shows in NY, details below…

finally, we thought it would be a cool idea to play some pre-christmas shows in finland as well. you know, it’s been a while and all that. check all the dates below, go feel the autumn breeze and hum along baby. we’ll meet again, somewhere, soon.

take care, all the best & love love love,

artturi, rubik
