The folks of After The Press!, an alternative music website, did a fresh interview with Euroblast’s debut band Aliases, who signed to London-based Basick Records recently. Being asked of their highlight as a band so far, they answered:

Playing our first show internationally in Germany at Euroblast festival alongside our good friends in Monuments and Chimp Spanner. The journey didn’t go entirely to plan as our van fell through the day before we were scheduled to depart from Manchester, leaving us only the option to pull out of the show or travel over in style in a…….Volkswagen Polo! We managed to fit the band (excluding Jay) into the car alongside 4 guitars, 2 basses, snare, pedal, cymbals, sticks, laptop, interface, keyboard, all leads/pedals and finally the entire box of merch! Thank god we grew up in the tetris generation! It was surprisingly fun and nobody died so all in all a great success.

The gig itself was awesome, fantastic vibe from everybody involved and the crowd! Really well organized and drinks on tap backstage!

We managed to drink enough booze to cause some chaos in Cologne with the other bands after the show and our first show as a band, after one full rehearsal went down really well.

We were able then to decide we’d be able to put up with each other to make this work as a band as we’re never going to get as close again as 4 people in a polo with all their gear, and we’re all equally as sick, twisted and retarded to make our time together incredibly amusing

Too bad there’s no picture of the stuffed VW Polo! Or maybe there is?
