Our special guest is Diego from Ill Nino.We invited Diego on this tour because we have toured with many bands, but Ill Nino were always special friends of ours and Diego especially being a very close friend. We felt that as we wanted to make this tour about friends then we should have a great friend join us on our first China tour!
