Summer tour is over!

Wow, what a whirlwind of activity, these past two months! We at Arcattack are pleased to announce that we have touched ground once again back home in Austin and the tour was a smashing success! We did around 205 performances in the 56 days of our journey to Abu Dhabi and the Netherlands, shot lots of video footage, got some great audio (thanks Ivan!) and met many new friends. We also gained many new fans! It was really a pleasure to travel the world and see all those new faces. We hope that you all come on and join us on facebook http://www.facebook.com/arcattack or Myspace http://www.myspace.com/singingtesla

Summer in Abu Dhabi was a wonderful experience. It is hard to say exactly how many folks we entertained over the course of the festival, but it was well into the tens of thousands. We got out to see some of the sights, experienced the nightlife, and ate lots of great food (Hooray for Eat n Joy!). It is hard to sum up the whole of the experience in even a few short paragraphs. We have posted some pics of the journey on our Myspace page.

The Netherlands tour was better than we could have hoped for! We played for student introduction week at three Universities and got a great private tour of the Delft campus. We played several outdoor festivals, as well, including Cultura Nova, Dynamo, Zomerparkfeest, and Zomerterras (just to name a few) and there are some great Youtube vids up of some of the shows. We played for our biggest single crowd ever at Zomerparkfeest, where roughly 20k folks saw the show! Perhaps the best part, however, were the three days off we had in Amsterdam. It was nice to catch up on some sleep and do some sightseeing. Then it was back through the airport with all our gear and back to Austin for one day before hopping in the van to Dragon*Con!
