Totally unplanned, we were like: "ok, we're gonna finish this gig in Belgrade, Milan and Andrea are going to come to my (Victoria's) hometown to hang out a bit and that's it.
However, it wasn't like that! We stayed up till, like, 5am to talk about it and our new songs, dreaming about new gigs, although we didn't know how to organize them. And we didn't have to do it, because people called us!!! 
After we fell asleep, I woke up around 1pm to se 20 missed calls and even more messages. First I panicked, then I saw that our friend from band Nemesis was calling us to tell us that we are having a gig on 6th of August. I immediately woke both of them up and started screaming. Believe me when I say we didn't need our morning coffee to wake up mentally, this totally shook us :D
It was 29th of July, and we had 8 days to prepare. Without our bassist, because he didn't have money to randomly come to another town for that long.
In the meantime, Milan and I got together and for us two, those were the best days 🥰
Anyway! We had rehearsals everyday, in my room. With a cheap amp that was 10 times more quiet than the drums, so it was pretty hard to practice. And Milan and Andrea didn't even have microphones, so we just had faith that we would kill it on that gig. :D Also, when I showed them my new lyrics for a song, Andrea immediately wrote some riffs and a solo! 
Even though our bassist wasn't there, we sent him a recording. And I must tell you that we have the best bassist ever, he had 5 days to learn that song and didn't even get to practice it with us before the gig! Someone give this man a crown! (or enough amount of money for his dream bass🤣)
While we were practicing for it, we got a call for another two gigs!! Which were 13th and 14th of August. We were so happy and unbelievably motivated and practice literally everyday for more than three ours!
On that day, even tho the gig was at 8pm,we woke up at 6 so we could go to Belgrade with our friend Nadja. She wanted to make us Affliction tattoos, so we all had them matching!
We rocked all of the songs, except that last one we had written just before the gig! :D although everybody said it was great, we are really self-critical when it comes to our playing and we didn't like it. Andrea forgot the lyrics, and my drums were falling apart and I couldn't just fix the cymbal stand in the middle of a song! xD 
Tho it doesn't really matter, everybody has mistakes, even bigger bands, but we did make sure to improve and make that, as every other song of ours, as perfect as we could. And we really killed it on the next gig!
I'm sorry I'm so slow, I'll try to keep up with our gigs so I can write about them quickly after because of the fresh impressions. :D so stay tuned for more often posts because we have more gigs scheduled and I, as a perfectionist, want to write about all of them! :D
