Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of calls from the press asking me what F.U.N. stands for and since I never bother checking the facts before I post stuff, I naturally just take a wild swing in the dark and go with it.

F.uriosly U.nderrated. Neurosis.

Yep.

It feels good to divulge band secrets when the moon is high and you can’t go howling since the cops obviously finds that to be “disturbing the peace”.

Aaaaaooooooooooooowwwww (Can’t stop me on the internet)

In just a couple of days the rest of us will join a drunken Maniac for a show to a bunch of bikers. Hopefully. I’m guessing Maniac’s already began planning on how to steal all the bikes and paint them in Clan colors (whatever that is) and if he actually goes through with it, it might be worse than the time he tried to convince Bedlam to “stop playing solos all the time” since he thought he was “stealing his glory”. That was a horrible day for all of us.

On a personal note, my whiskey’s all gotten mysteriously drunk by me, so I’m dry as fuck now. Feel free to ship boxes of Ol’ Jack’s to my house. Just put “House of the Mutt” on the box and it will find me.

Just a bunch of these will do

And also, we’ve started to create some killer tunes for our upcoming album “The Mutt Chronicles” (Working title) due to be recorded before the snow gets heavy enough to stop BBB’s trains derailing on his ass.

Don’t forget to preorder. (Also done by shipping Ol’ Jack’s to my house)

The plan was tight. Everything was timed and looked really like it would be a success. Some minutes before Sators gig at Bunkerfestivalen, I sneaked in and tried to steal all the guitars from the backstage artist area so that Sator wouldn’t have anything to play on.

As I, the frontman of Killer Clan of F.U.N., had rehearsed a couple of Sator songs I figured I could go out and take the stage a second time this saturday. After all it was a lovely stage and the gig went great earlier, even though there could have been more people. Now people had gathered to see Sator and this was my big chance.

Along comes Chips Kiesby the frontman of Sator and finds me in this embarrasing situation… see for yourselves.

Love/ Maniac

Unfortunately I couldn’t be with the band at Bunkerfestivalen yesterday. I’ve heard that the festival went great and that the band made a great gig. But what happened after their gig is still unclear.

Did Maniac set off one of his plans against The Soundtrack of Our Lives or Sator or one of the other bands? I don’t really know right now. All I have is this photo I received this morning in my mail:

…it really wasn’t.

I told you the other day about Maniacs vicious plans to interfere with The Soundtrack of Our Lives‘ gig at Bunkerfestivalen on the 3rd of July. We exposed him to the world and and Ebbot gave him a strong word of warning, so we thought that we could stop worrying about it.

But we were wrong. He just shifted his focus to another great band that will be playing there, Sator.

Yesterday I found a clip that revealed what he was up to. At first I thought it was just his usual ramblings, but when I listened closely I could clearly hear that he’s now targeting Sator . Well, time is too short to stop him now, so lets hope for the best on Saturday.

After we exposed Maniac’s plans yesterday to take over Bunkerfestivalen, the reaction has been very strong from the media as well as from the rock world. Peruvian TV, Chinese rock magazines, radio Kazachstan, you name it, have all covered the story today, and the pressure have been quite heavy on all of us in the management today.

As you might expect, the strongest reaction came from Ebbot, ofThe Soundtrack of Our Lives, himself. At a press conference early this morning he sent this message to Maniac:

Look at this picture above I took the other day. It’s a actually a picture of Maniac, apparently dressed in some kind of Santa Claus outfit. But why?

He came out the door and I was there with my camera, but before I could ask any questions he pushed me away and ran off. Of course I got very suspicious, as the others in the band didn’t know anything about it. What was he up to now?

The following days I started playing detective, looking in his bags, sneaking into his room, eavesdropping, and it payed off! Through scraps of papers, drawings, strange statements I think I finally solved the puzzle.

As you all know, Killer Clan of F.U.N. will be playing at Bunkerfestivalen in Bengtsfors on the 3rd of July. A great festival with 18 bands. Sator will play too, The Generals, Kid Down, Social Siberia and lots of others. And….The Soundtrack of Our Lives!!

And that’s where Maniac has his thoughts now. With The Soundtrack of Our Lives. As if  Killer Clan’s fantastic show wasn’t enough, Maniac wants to take over the entire festival! His plan is to lock up Ebbot somewhere (we think he’s aiming for the toilet), and then impersonate Ebbot, and take over their show too!

The rest of the band and I thought that this was such an evil plan, that we had to bring it to your attention. Hopefully this will make him put his plans aside, at least for a while.

A couple of days ago, Maniac told me he had a huge secret he wouldn’t tell me. I tried to ask him but he was in his regular state of incoherent babbling. I gave him a sucker punch and moved on to figure out what the hell was going on. I turned to the other guys and no one would say anything. So I started hanging out outside Bedlams apartment looking for clues. And when I say apartment I mean something like this:

Bedlam’s living room

So I continued rummaging until I finally noticed a note scribbled by Maniac to Bedlam.

Bedlam! It’s time to write some new songs and there’s only one way to go about it! I know what you’re thinking, but I haven’t had time to come up with the necessary farm equipment for that so here’s how we’ll do it. Bring your house to the big field outside of town and we’ll sit there and write shit. Oh, and bring Stuff and BBB to. Don’t mention this to the Mutt!

/M

So I promptly called Maniac and asked him what the fuck was going on. He wouldn’t reply since he seemed to be lost in another dimension or something. He went on talking about creating a new form of rock n’ roll. So I went directly to the source instead.

Doesn’t look new to me Maniac

After screaming like a crazy guy at Bedlam for not letting me know about the session, Bedlam told me the truth. They didn’t want to burden my genius brain with the tiresome task of coming up with every new song from scratch. Instead they (Bedlam) wanted me to put the finishing touches on these songs. Also, when the time came to write even more songs, I would get the first shot as long as I promise to stop putting out my cigarettes in Maniac’s drink. We’ll see about that.

So I guess what I’m saying is: the Clan is as productive as ever and as soon as I’ve gotten my hands on the material it will sound even better.

Rock on

Mutt, The

A couple of weeks ago Maniac and Stuff took over the radio station Radio AF and promoted Stockholm Rock out for an hour in the show “In Rock“. During the show Maniac interviewed Terry, the singer of XYZ. If you haven’t heard the interview you can listen to it here.

As you can hear there’s a certain challenge in the interview. Maniac actually states that he will get all the girls, and leave nothing for Terry and XYZ!
Well, I’m not surprised. Maniac’s a nice guy, but he just doesn’t like to share.

BUT, and there’s a big but. As it now happens, Killer Clan of F.U.N. won’t be playing today at Stockholm Rock Out. They will play in September instead. But XYZ is here, all of them, and they certainly will play today. And they sent Maniac a message:

That was Joey, Pat and Tony. Later on Terry wanted to say something too:

I don’t know how Maniac will react to all this, I prefer not to think about it. All I can say is that XYZ is a hell of a band and yesterday at the pre-show at Harry B. James they performed one of the best acoustic sets I have ever seen

And many more will come today to Stockholm Rockout and enjoy this band and of course the other great bands too.

On Friday the band will have the pleasure to enter the stage at Kulturhuset in Svalöv (check out their Facebook page too). Kulturhuset, a great place for culture in many forms, opera, theater, stand-up, movies, music and more. AND they have the great taste of inviting great rock bands to come to play.

Some may wonder where and what Svalöv is and I can tell you: it’s right in the center of everything! Which means it’s right between Lund and Helsingborg with Landskrona and Kävlinge close by.

Joining Killer Clan of F.U.N. on stage are three other bands you should check out:

8Stone, Michael Machine and Bulletrain.

You’ve been watching a lame cut made by myself for several weeks now, but finally the production is done! Here you go, let your teeth sink into the freshness and raw power of the Killer Clan of F.U.N. captured by young film maker Nicolaj Branda.
