14th October. Djuice Music Drive in Odessa.

Guitarist from Apollo 440 and vocalist from PLAYOFF

A great music event - Djuice Music Drive was held today, 14th of October, at Kulikovo Polye, one of the central squares in Odessa. We had an opportunity to feel the spirit of the festival, where all its participants on this very day became one team. This time the members of the Djuice team were: Apollo 440, TNMK, Esthetic Education, S.K.A.I, Stereoliza and, of course, PLAYOFF Rock Team.

We can fairly state without any fear of contradiction, that today PLAYOFF played one of the best gigs during last 5,5 years. It's true that home matches are easier than away. So, briefly, how events unfolded on that happy day:

Just getting off the train from Kremenchug, where we had played on the previous day, and feeling that the temperature outside was no more than +10 C, we realized that today we'd have a terrific opportunity to improve our health by tempering. A cool wind and cloudy sky promised us the same. Maybe because of that our team strengthened will and came on stage full of positive energy and optimism.

We were awfully pleased to receive such a warm and loud reaction from Odessa audience. They helped the team play in such a horrible weather wearing the uniform, which consisted of only t-shirts and shorts. PLAYOFF performed their 40-minute set of 9 songs being inspired by the local music lovers.

After the performance we decided to stay at the festival to listen to the other bands. And we didn't regret. Apart from getting experience by looking and listening to the work of professionals on stage, we were lucky enough to talk to them off stage. Thus, we got acquainted with the British headliners - Apollo 440, got some precious advices from Fozzey, the TNMK leader, and indulged ourselves in conversation with two dancing queens from Kiev.

PLAYOFF Rock Team is very grateful to the mobile operator 'Djuice' who invited our band, the organizing company 'For Music' for the high class event, MC's of the show Fozzey and Fagot from TNMK for the funny and cheering presentation, our sound engineer Dima Opishanskiy (Ukraine), who fixed all the mixer handles fine, and all the people who listened to us playing during the 'Djuice Music Drive Tour 2007'.

P.S. By the way, Mitya lost his pick on a stage, and this, according to some sign theories, means that PLAYOFF will play on the stage of 'Djuice Music Drive' festival again!

And now - festival fireworks!
