"After the show in Stockholm the band went in this Cafe and they played a spontaneus gig. But the most important thing is that Mark didn't go there so the players were the others DS members (I don't know if all the others or just some of them) WITHOUT Mark so they weren't actually DS."

What's interesting with this is that they did the same thing during the BIA tour, one day before the two official gigs, where MK actually were present. But there has been pretty much no information or pictures from the event but I heard this from somewhere.

As border_reiver told, "Caf
