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.

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

På lördag 29/8 spelar vi i huvudstaden igen, närmare bestämt på popagandafestivalen vid eriksdalbadet. Tiden är klockan 15:00.

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.

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.

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