Stockholm, July 15 2010!

It’s now the middle of the summer here in stockholm and theres been a heatwave of epic proportions over sweden for several weeks. Your favorite band is not only about bike rides and swimming though, theres also been some recording going on under the baltic sun. Hopefully these intermissions will be on some kind of plastic or vinyl in the future. We have been listening to some old sessions too and realized that we must have been complete idiots sometimes and very focused other times.

The remix of  ”pallers – the kiss”  that i wrote a little about in the previous post is out and completely free. It’s been getting some response from various blogs. Also the show we did for p3pop can be found here and they are actually rerunning that program this monday.

If you want to catch your band this summer you should head over to the old spot Gula villan in Handen for the small free festival “En nypa musik” on the 15th august.

Also if you are in the UK you should have a look over at Peters other duo springfactory’s myspace to see if they are going to visit your city during their tour on the island starting next week.

That’s all for now.

THEN:
Hello!
There haven’t been that much going on here for like almost a year. We have been quite busy with other things like going to africa, enjoying football, playing basketball and so on. We had a great year last year. Visiting NY and SF popfest and meeting so many great people. Another highlight from last year was the wonderful cosy den festival here in stockholm. The show at Gula Villan was magic. I also get the same feeling when i think about our show at club King Kong earlier that summer too. For me it was a win to finally conduct really good shows in the stockholm area. Hell, even the show at debaser slussen went down well!

NOW:
This year we started working on new songs and collaborated with our friends to put out a cd with a couple of bands. There’s alot of music on their myspace:

PALLERS REMIX
This friday we finished our second ever remix/edit for the band Pallers(The first one was for vapnet). The song is called “the kiss” and will be released on the 26th of May. I played it for Henrik in the band today on the stairs of dramaten in stockholm and he seemed to like it. You will probably be able to hear it very soon via labrador.

That’s all for now

Hi there Dj Spamarama has scratched his evil fingers all over this place. This meant that we had to get rid of some older posts. It´s raining in Stockholm and i try to cheer myself up with: Nathan Fake, Doom, Hearts + Horses and the brilliant BQ.

Hello!

Found this on youtube. Quite good actually!

Nu är det stoj i bilen. Är inte riktigt på samma nivå. Bongo bar igår var nog vår bästa spelning hittils på den här lilla mini-turnén.. Seriösast i varje fall. Jag brukar vara lite emot det. När det blir för tight och tråkigt men igår kändes det bara kul och som om vi hittade ett bra mellanläge.

Mitt förbannade pekfinger råkade ut för mer olyckor. Jag har fått torka bort blod från gitarren innan varje spelning nu. Tack du underbara människa som gav mig ett plåster under spelningen. Det hjälpte. Min hjälte.

Är väl i Malmö om en 40 minuter eller så. Relativt utvilad. Blev bara tre öl igår. Rekord.
Ikväll blir fantastiskt.

Sex mil till jönköping.
Tycker spelningen i går gick ganska bra. Kanske pratade för mycket skit. Det är svårt det där med dynamik. Parker Lewis gjorde en väldigt bra spelning i varje fall. Lyssnar på en rippad skiva med Florence Valentin som jag fick igår. Vi bowlade innan spelningen på Hugos. Det var den bästa uppladdningen inför en spelning som jag varit med om. Tipsa gärna om en bra bowlinghall i jönnet.

Hade 22 missade samtal från min rumskamrat när jag vaknade i morse. Han kom hem och in när frukostpersonalen kom på morgonen i varjefall.
