Thought we could give you an update here at the blog just to show you that we ain’t dead or something like that. Most of you probably follow us at facebook, and then you know that we’re still going strong. But anyhow, we would like to close this year (2011) with our thoughts ’bout what we see as highlights for this year in the Clan.

Bedlam says:
One of the highlights for me this year was definitely having The Rock re-join the band, more ferociously eager to rock out than ever before. I love having his twisted sense of musicality to bounce off on. Stand-out moments were the show at Mejeriet in March (I think most of us agree on that) and the second set we did at the release party of the new album, at the same venue. Those were amazing shows to be a part of. And there were many others..

We finally got our own rehearsal space this past summer and that really enabled us to focus more on writing songs. That was a big one for me.
All in all, a great year…let’s make 2012 even better! Dig it!

Maniac states:
There has been a lot of fantastic moments in Killer Clan of F.U.N. 2011. We almost filled Mejeriet in Lund together with Michael Machine and Crazy Lixx. We kicked dust and roared like a hurricane at Skogsröjet and met a good part of Swedish rockbands there. This has been the worst year in my life on a personal level. At the same time it has been the year for Killer Clan of F.U.N. to release an album that I am very proud of.

Through the twisted times that I now try to survive it has become clear to me what a fantastic creative environment theese guys are and I have heard and been a part of the embryo for the best collection of songs ever come from this part of the world, and with a lot of anger, love, pain and hard work – this will be a great new album next year… From here it can only get better, and even if we are searching for a drummer at the moment I am confident that next year will sparkle, pop and crack like a teenage girl on snowballs. Come whatever may.

The Rock claims:
There have been alot of great times this year with and around the band, awesome gigs, parties, people and rock’n'roll!
But the highlight for me is to be part of the Killer Clan again, recording and learning all the kick ass songs for The World Of Voodoo!

Stuff points out:
Man, it’s really hard to choose a highlight this year. Seems like we’ve done a million things this year. But there’s one gig that’s really fresh in my mind. The very last gig we did this year has a special place in my heart. It felt like we had gained new energy all off us, we felt dangourus and how we all worked as a team on stage got us spurred to go the extra mile on stage! Although it were colder than last known ice age and you could litterally cut ice on my nipples and your fingers couldn’t be more stiff. Remember talkin’ to Bedlam after the gig sayin’ his solos were just like playing the same tone over and over because of the stiffness in his fingers. Although all of this we got a great reaction from the crowd in Landskrona. This city feels like another home for us now!

From us all to you rockers out there; Have a fuckin awesome New Years Eve and an even better 2012!

Since our former drummer 3B left us, we took a week off and regained new energy. Now we’re back and we are on the prowl for a new drummer. Do you know anyone that can beat the hell out of the skins or maybe you wanna try out yourself, just let us know by dropping us an email.
As our headquarters are located in Lund, it’s obviously an advantage if you live in the southern parts of Sweden.

At the moment we’re in the midst of planning an upcoming tour to support our release of “The World Of Voodoo”. Gigs are already booked and more are on their way, so we need you now!

I’m full of expectations, who will our new drummer be, are you a dude or a dudette? How will you inprove the sound of the Clan? And how will you help us shape the future of the Clan…

If you love the stage and want to create some rock n roll history you should contact us ASAP!

Been practicing like a mad dog in heat just the past few days. Bedlam is a way better guitarist than me and I really can’t stand that. I’m still far behind him, but I aim at getting a little closer. Some might say that we’re playing different styles and these thoughts are just in my head. Maybe they’re right, I dont know…

From one thing to another; I can also tell you that some gigs are being booked right now for next year. It’s gonna be blast going out gigging again. It’s been a while since the last, though I remember it as a fuckin’ awesome gig. All members were insane at stage, going out of control to the roar of the crowd.

Man, I gotta grab the guitar again, just had to have five minutes off so my fingers would stop bleedin. Until next time!

Peace and Love! / Stuff

Sitting in my sofa at home and checking out old demos and recordings I’ve done. It’s pretty cool, and there have also been quite a good laughs along the way. Sometimes you think “Man, what was I thinking there?” Since I’ve been playing in few bands, the music-genre is quite broad.

Although I have had some laughs along the way, listening to these recordings I never regret one day that I picked up the guitar, although my first choice were to play the drums but I were not allowed to have drums in my folks home. But that’s a whole other story to tell.

These were just thoughts in my head that I wanted to share to you.

Yours truly! / Stuff

Bo Diddley – “Pills”

The Rock was talking to Stuff about some square-shaped guitar the other night at rehearsal. Don’t really know what the coversation was about, but it reminded me of Bo Diddley and his trademark guitar. I always have at least a couple of Bo-songs on my playlists and this is one of my favourites.

LaVern Baker – “Voodoo Voodoo”

When we decided on the title for the album I started checking out “voodoo-songs” by different artists. Of course there’s all those great Screamin’ Jay Hawkins songs, but a little further along  in my search I came across this gem by LaVern Baker. “He done voodoo doodoo-ed me!”

Mötley Crüe – Same Ol’ Situation

Mötley‘s finest hour. It’s kind of like their “You Shook Me All Night Long” in my mind. I always get a kick out of the video to it too.

Taj Mahal – “Johnny Too Bad”

Went to a Taj Mahal concert the other week. Been listening to him for a long time and it was truly a treat to get to see one the last great bluesmen up close. It was an amazing show.
Outside of the blues Taj has a whole list of musical genres on his repertoire and Johnny Too Bad is of course the classic reggae song by The Slickers. The original has nothing on Taj’s version though. Love the line “Struttin’ up from shanty town with a pistol in your waist – Johnny you’re too bad” just as the song fades out. Makes you wonder what happens next…

I just wanted to say that we may have gone a bit too far here at the blog ’bout our new songs we’re writing. All I can say ’bout them is that they are way ahead into the future. Right now we just wanna promote our newly released cd “The World Of Voodoo”. I am pretty pleased by the outcome of it acctually.

I remember it as yesterday when were in the recording-progress. Although it felt like a neverending project at the time, and the money we spent it at, man, I surely lived on water and air back then. But just to hold the cd in my hands now makes me a bit proud of myself, and my teammates in the Clan ofcourse. Without them I wouldn’t be where I am today as a guitarist and musician.

That´s pretty much all I have to say for now, hope y’all like it as much as I do!

Peace and Love! / Stuff

Oh yeah, we are making some ass kicking songs in the studio for the moment and it sounds pretty awsome if you ask me or anyone else. The intense and the rhythm in the music makes you go bananas when you hear it or play it, that´s how you´re making Rock n Roll!.

And if you think about drums with fils, tripplets, drumsolos and all that shit you´re totally wrong. It´s so damn good that you can´t sit or stand still and if you tried to do it you would fail so hard. This is songs that we are writing from the bottom of our heart and we promise you guys and girls that you´re gonna love it.

Stay tuned…. More to come

Me, myself will be doin charity tonite. I’ll be playin at Vallby Kyrka to raise money for the cancerfund. This is something that I rarely do, but I couldn’t pass on this as it is for a good cause. At the same time I’m fighting a cold from hell it seems, I can feel the fever just ’round the corner. Once a rocker always a rocker as Joe Perry would have said it.

The other boys in the band will get together tonite at the rehearsal to keep on writing new material. So far the new material rocks, a little different from our latest record. But that’s just normal as we have grown as musicians and we still keep developing new sides. Never a dull moment in the Clan, that’s for sure!

How do you know if a person is badass?. Hmm thats a hard question, right ?, but it ain´t.

A real badass motherfucker plays the drums in a band, he knows how to treat good looking women, he never gets sick ( maybe sometimes, cold or the flu), he gets all groupies at a gig and they are serving him all night, he is wearing tight jeans and ” leckra “  boots, he beats up the drum technician if he does something wrong on a soundcheck or something else, he knows how to turn a lesbian to a straight girl, he is the best 365 days a year 24/7.

There is more to say but I´m to tired to write it down for the moment, all I can say is that every single detail describes me in the perfect way.

Don´t be a hater be a maker and take her.

With love and respect //3B

I’ve been told by people to change my way of living and chill down with the music, they’re telling me to find something that makes me satisfied in my life.

Only thing i can say is shut the f#%& up and stop beeing so god damn dumb n boring. Those peoples who are telling me this crap plays indiepop, hardcore (boy band) metal and thinks their are some kind of experts in all kinds of music, bad chase motha fuckas… Bad chase. The truth is that rock n roll music will never die and we rockers will allways have the Pretty girls on our side comparing too you guys.

but im kind, i love all of you
