In December, the foursome also travelled abroad together for the first time. On the 10th, they played Eindhoven.
Robert: "We all really went to town. We thought 'This is it - the start of a new era'! We had a day off and got taken to a cafe in the morning where we ended up drinking 13 bottles of red wine between the four of us. Later, Lol went into a coma. We were sitting in someone's room back at the hotel when he suddenly started screaming and flipped out. He went running down the corridor puking up red wine everywhere."
Simon: "Me and Robert followed the trail - like a sick paper-chase. Really good."
Robert: "He kept going into different corridors, trying his key in different doors so, eventually, I took pity on him and let him in my room where he commenced to enter the bathroom with, he said, the intention of committing suicide."
Lol: "They were all banging on the toilet door, going 'Let us in! Let us in!' and I was groaning 'Let me die! Let me die!' I lay with my face in the turned on shower for hours, woke up about five in the morning and crawled to bed."
Robert: "I pissed in his suitcase as retaliation; he was still alive!"
