..and now, finally, the bands tour can continue...
..but since it's been so long between the posts about them, here is the first post in the series:
Chapter 12.1 – The Bushweeds Autumn Tour 2023 – part I: It's a long way to the top...
Quick Summary:

So, naturally, after the release of their debut album the band couldn't just return to their daytime jobs and otherwise rest on their laurels to much.. now the job began to get gigs in order to assemble some kind of tour... easier said than done as there would be even more let downs on the way with downright awful deals that they just couldn't accept, but..

..they were definately pleased and excited when they after much asking about had succeeded in getting enough dates to go on their first mini-tour this autumn... ;)

Their first concert out of town wasn't to far away, and was a place they were already aqcuainted with since their last visit to the city.. so they met up that evening at Waylons Bar in the shadier part of town by the harbour, hoping to play for a decent sized and cheerful audience to kick off their tour...
..and now for the new update..
Chapter 12.2 – The Bushweeds Autumn Tour 2023: part II - Motel rooms and bridges, life out here is raw...
The next update takes part in the town of Bridgewood. It can be downloaded from The Sims Catalog here.

Next morning everyone except Kajsa was still feeling joyful and happy after yesterdays concert and night out, which resulted in a little party happening in the bedroom, before Kajsa had to talk some sense into them and round them up to continue their journey to Bridgewood and this old rundown motel they would be staying at there..

After inspecting the motel and finding their rooms, it was time to head to the next venue for some more rehearsing and soundcheck, before they would get ready for another night and another gig.. let's hope it turns out well and that there won't be to much action or drama... ;)

Late at night all systems go
You have come to see the show
We do our best you're the rest
You make it real you know
(...)
The show is through the metal is gone
It is the time to hit the road
Another time another gig
Again we will explode
Hotel rooms and motorways
Life out here is raw
But we will never stop
We will never quit
Cause we are THE BUSHWEEDS ! ;)
- Slighltly edited excerpt (namely the first and last verse) from Metallicas song Whiplash which the title of the update refers to.
Do you think this band can reach fame and fortune like they want to? :P

Spoiler
Now, the Bushweeds is not a metal band, and they do not sound like Metallica, but they do have one thing in common nonetheless, as both bands started out with one foot in punk rock.. but where Metallica mixed their punk rock influences with heavy metal to create thrash metal (in the 1980s before they "sold out" according to some..), The Bushweeds mixes their punk rock influences with celtic folk music, to make, well, celtic rock/punk more in the vein of bands like The Pogues, Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, etc... ;)
