Hi,

We're planning on heading back to Europe again later in the year and was wondering which countries have the best garage rock audiences at the minute? I've been told Spain and Italy are good for gigs?

Cheers,

Thanks Gringo, now we just need to get ourselves a van and head out on the road!x

Lot's of good feedback. Your welcome!

Portugal for sure, come on over to Lisbon and the "south of the river" area.

You could contact Edgar Raposo from Groovie Records ( http://www.groovierecords.com ) who might be able to set you up for a couple gigs nearby.

Depending on what you call later this year you can also try and come over for the "Barreiro Rocks" Festival, they have an impressive CV by now ( http://www.barreirorocks.org/ ). I dont think you can access previous years' line-ups but at the festival you will find the most dedicated, highly specialized garage rock audience. It is organized by http://www.heypachuco.com/
