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.

The last year we have seen number of new hard rock scenes grow up on Swedish soil. This is clearly not a coincidence as the air has gotten more and more dense with rock’n'roll for quite a while now.

One of the most interesting ones is Rockville LA in Landskrona. They started in February this year and present an interesting mix of well established bands and new hot acts. The last time Von Benzo, Soul Weeper and Trash Queen went up on stage and next week, the 16th of april Bai Bang, Damien and of course Killer Clan of F.U.N. will rock Landskrona.

You’ve probably heard of the glam rock band Bai Bang before, as they have had a long and successful career, touring worldwide and are as strong today as ever before. If you have Spotify you can listen to them here. Damien is a hot new act with the singer Michelle in the front. Grab a couple of tunes for you mp3-player here.

It all takes place on Tages Nightclub in Landskrona (map) at 21.00 next Friday, the 16th. Check here for info on where to get those tickets.

See you there!

As you all know, the band is playing in Stockholm this Saturday, at Broder Tuck, Club Dislocated, 20.00. We hope to see many of our Stockholm friends there.

Everything seemed to be going well, but, and there’s a big but: something’s not right between our new guitarist Stuff and Maniac. And we’re not sure what will happen between the two of them on stage on Saturday.

Stuff’s really made a strong impression on all of us. First of all he’s a great guitarist and entertainer, second, Bedlam is happy to have his guitarist-party-brother and third he’s the first one in the band with a driver’s licence! Something that’s quite useful when the band is on tour…

Big Boned Barabas is to young to have one, The Mutt is to lazy to get one, and Maniac always fails trying to get one (he always get furious at the driver’s test because he’s not allowed to freshen up with some JD) It is rumoured that Bedlam actually had a driver’s license, but that he cut it in pieces one night, since he needed some extra plectrums.

Stuff being such an asset, you may wonder what’s happened then. Well, Stuff is a young, good-looking guy, and, he’s bare-chested on stage. It’s got to Maniac’s head that Stuff’s ambition is to try to steal the girls’ attention from Maniac when playing live. Sounds silly, I know, but once it get into Maniacs head, it hardly ever goes out (except with the help of a few drinks).

Maniac gave Stuff a warning the other day:

(Sorry, our foreign friends, it’s in Swedish. Maniac always starts ranting strange languages when he’s furious. Maybe he can translate it later.)

We all hope for the best on Saturday, and that Stuff gets back in one piece. I have asked Bedlam to give Stuff some advice how to deal with Maniac, which he was eager to do.

Well, things like this always seem to give Maniac extra energy on stage, so you can be certain that the gig on Saturday will be a great one. Also, playing before the Clan are some other great bands: Spirit Still, Abbey Orchestra and Captain Black Beard.

I won’t be able to attend myself, but the band sure wants to see you there.
