On the 15th of march I went to Milan to assist a live of King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard. Nothing too peculiar here, except for the fact that I haven't been able to attend a live event for years due to personal feelings and random complications, where basically I couldn't get good emotions out of it and I didn't felt any interest towards bands playing in town. Recently, as I was trying to get more control in my life, I somehow felt the need to google for the next events of the band finding them near my place and I felt this surging energy that was playing drums in my brain. Long story short, I got a couple of friends with me and full of enthusiasm we reached the date of the calendar. My good friend was driving and saw my mood changing as we approached Milan, city that I despise for it's shapes and aurea, where small shops are strangled by the cement of heavy, nasty buildings made in the 60s with no respect for human life.

Reaching the place for the live event I knew that I was gonna confront myself with an harsh battle, but I was ready. Now, at this point there weren't many people around and my friends remark was that "he didn't expect too many people as these guys are a niche". We entered the place and went toward the stage and after the opening band finished their gig, with a disclaimer appearing on the back of the stage saying to behave in the mosh pit, I smiled at their surprise because they didn't even imagined that a mosh pit could appear. I have a full grasp of their absurd discography, but they didn't. And with a band like KGLW it's funny how people that listen to around 10 songs don't have the slightest idea of their weird and complicated musical identity, and this kept my mood smiling and at peace as I found it funny. Also, later that night, there was a statement that the places has never seen so many people like that night!

Minutes before the band arrived on stage, the swarm appeared. I was a little nervous now, the feeling inside the crowd was starting to get to my nerves. My eyes got wet and I was trying to keep a straight face but Emotions started to swirl around inside me and strange thoughts started to appear and distract me. The band started playing Robot Stop! with the giant nonagon projected at their backs and my friends went to experience the live in different places, with a randevous for later. I standed as stable as I could, with my red jacket in a sea of black ones, trying to feel good with the energy from the stage but my body was getting weirder, starting to weep (as I'm doing now lol, I couldn't remember if they started with Robot Stop or The dripping tab and went for a live on youtube to check and I got and instant reaction). It was beautiful in a way and absurd in another, to feel so human and so susceptible to things, but I was standing there and achieving some sort of long dreamed of freedom from the blocked things in my mind.

But as I was standing there, slowly getting more comfortable and used to the swirling emotions, minutes before declaring some sort of control on me, I got Overwhelmed by and Intruder in my head.

In the topical moment of my emotional battle against myself, a moment away from getting my shit together, I lost everything and a pressure bursted out from whitin me. I somehow got distracted and a face, then a voice, then a full personality and the image of a woman started to overwrite MY NIGHT, MY FUCKING TURNING POINT and started to alter my vision blurring out everything else. I got fucking overwhelmed and i was desperated, trying to grasp to the night with the loud incredible energy coming from the stage, even a new song! But It was like I wasn't really there with this huge distraction in my head, asking me where to put her in my head. I was a turtle on his back, vulnerable as fuck, and I got attacked from an intruder in my mind. Of all the things that I was expecting, this wasn't on the list and I was shocked, as somehow I wasn't ready yet to behave like a normal guy.

After the live, my friends gathered my remains giving me huge thanks for sharing the band with them and basically babysitting me home. I later got my friend a vinyl as a payback.

Now, while I'm trying to assest these feelings, I happen to draw this during the two last weekends. The mood got out of control and I'm still trying to understand what to do whit these emotions. Only time will tell, or maybe the next drawing will? Who knows.
