Fernando’s blog post: I don’t remember exactly when but once, during some studio recordings, I picked a U2 biography (called One year and a half in the life of U2) and even tough I am not their biggest fan on Earth, it provided me some cool reading time as well...
Fernando’s blog post: When we reach Ottawa, Canada’s capitol, for the final run of the tour (tomorrow we wrap it up at Toronto’s Mod Club, which will be already a taste of home, since this club is located near the Portuguese area of the city-Little Portugal-) the Sun is up...
Fernando’s blog post: Touring has become a haven of prohibition and rules and we are all to blame for it, fellow touring musicians and concert goers. With a scary percentage of musicians trying to replicate their domestic/borgeouis lifestyle on tour, things have become almost scary with the advent of the...
Fernando’s blog post: You feel you are really touring when you start feeling homely feelings in places where you have never been. This is happening to me right now, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I have been here playing before. I have even probably this same exact place. But all days...
Fernando’s blog post: I started writing this text under a totally different mindset.I was on the road in Siberia, my survival instinct was sharp, I had beaten my maladies and I was ready for what might come. The lack of sleep, of rest; playing and travelling every day, leaves me,...
Fernando’s blog post: Dear followers: It’s been hard to keep up with everything here in Russia. We travel long distances by plane or bus every day and play every night. This is a BIG country and quite an experience to cross it. I am doing much better now, my vocals...
Fernando’s blog post: The sound of the church bell clocking 7PM is remote, resembling the familiar feeling of many towns in Portugal. I am reassuringly awaken from a quick tour nap, inside my dark bunk. We’re in Gdansk, formerly Danzig, and we’re parked, noblesse oblige, at the port. In the...
Fernando’s blog post: When I go down the stairs of Rock Café Club in central Prague, to reach the backstage area, a familiar feeling invades me. My face is unwashed but I still got to manage a little tourbus hygiene and brush my teeth. Many of my favorite books are...
Fernando’s blog post: To everyone who will visit my new blog, introductions first: My name is Fernando Ribeiro and I am from Portugal. I am the singer of a Metal band called Moonspell. We have been together for over twenty years now. I like to share my ideas, thoughts, afflictions,...
All ways lead to Rome (except one) Portugal was under the rule of Rome for as long as seven centuries. They left us more than roads and baths and still to the day, in between all natural convulsions of that time, one can find some traces of the colonial domain...
Citrullus Lanatus I do not want to go all Forrest Gump on you, but life is no box of chocolates. The other day I bought a watermelon in the supermarket and while I was slicing it into smaller pieces in my kitchen, I thought this oversized fruit, green on the...
Summer set itself in all its grace and power in the land of Portugal but we take this three-week break from festivals to think about and organize the year. There is now a lot of expectation to run and it’s not an easy task to please all appetites. Do not...
From where the Sun barely sets to Vlad’s fullmoon After much negotiation, my son finally took upon Morpheus’ offer and I take this golden chance and run to pack up the vinyl pants and the spiked vest into my bag. I spend more time trying to choose between the two...
