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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

Just received a message from Mr Bedlam saying that he had spoked to Maniac about making a musicvideo for a song on “The World Of Voodoo”. We haven’t really decided on which song it will be yet.

To the subject “musicvideo”, me myself is a real nerd, I remember when I grew up at my folks place, watching VH1 everyday. Recording my favourite songs on VHS. Oh what memories it brings back! I made lists of my favourite videos and I also remembers I had a fucking “hate-list”. All I can say is, never watch Sledgehammer with Peter Gabriel. Maybe the worst song ever written, plus it also is the worst video ever recorded!

Is there any real good videos then with great music on top of that? Well, they are fuckin rare I can tell yee! There are of course several classics from the 80′s and the 90′s. Maybe they will be revealed to you some time in the future. But a musicvideo that I really like and that I just found on the net not so long ago is Poison Kiss with Wildstreet. Fucking nice song, and the video has something over it. Can’t put my finger on it really. But this is surely a top ten musicvideo for me. Get such great vibes from watching it! An extra plus for the vintage mics they use on stage!

That’s a pretty odd thing to do, but since we released the new cd “The World Of Voodoo” I’ve been checking the net for any new articles/blogs you name it. Really fun to read about what others think about the music. I can’t say that everybody loves it, but somehow I kinda like reading bad reviews as good ones.

Not saying that we’ve only gotten bad reviews! Most of them have been good. But still fun to read, my main objective was and have always been to get a reaction out of people.

Tonight we’re off to rehearse, can’t wait to get out there cause we’re just about to write some new material!

Something that makes my heart tick a little faster is the old west. Since I were a little kid and grew up watching Lucky Luke cartoons which later came to be western films like “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”, and “Trinity” to name just a few. The whole concept of the old west is way cool, and if you’re reading this you most likely seen me on stage or at photos wearing cowboyhats and worn out jeans. That’s just me trying to get the vibe from the old raw west. Which I also try to implement into the music. The raw crispy sound from my guitar is an homage to my heroes from the tv!

Just saw the movie Lucky Luke from 2009, fuckin awesome! The looks and the feel from the screen just makes me tingle!

Well, time for another entry maybe? Guess I just lost inspiration for a while for whatever reason. Yesterday I found an urge to tell you on what to records to check out. Once again this is my own personal thoughts. Just sayin’ this cause I know I will get my ass full of “whatafucks?” after this post.

I have alreay listed these albums:

Alice Cooper – Love It To Death
David Bowie – The Rise And fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders from Mars
KISS – KISS
Aerosmith – Get A Grip
Bon Jovi – Keep The Faith

And now to the 6th entry: (If you have spotify, just click the link)
Sixx A.M. – The Heroin Diaries

I heard the record before I read the awesome book Nikki Sixx put out(goes under the same name). I remember instantly that the music and melodies got a hold of me, not really listening to the what they were singing about. However the melodies got quite stuck in my head and it’s now been over 2 years since the release and the songs are still in my head. Still humming them.

When inserting the cd into my cd-player it makes me wanna crank up the volume like there’s no tomorrow and crack open some beers. To me this is a top ten record which should be played from start to the stop for maximum pleasure! For those of you that haven’t heard it, give it a try, but please beware of the follow-up, an ok record but not even close to this masterpiece!

My favorite track from the record is Courtesy Call, awesome chorus if you ask me!

Hope you like it as much as me! See ya soon!

That’s pretty much how I feel now. We’ve been workin’ our asses to the bone to say at least and we’ve been scraped on all our money and savings to get it out. But the feeling now, is somehow wonderful mixed with emptiness.

This weekend that went by we had the release-party at Mejeriet and it was a pleasure to meet all our fans and friends. We are truly blessed, to have such nice friends. And it was a pleasure to showcase all the new songs, and it was kinda cool to showcase some of our older songs and songs from other artists that has set their marks into our soul in an acoustic set. I hope you enjoyed it, I was kinda nervous to play an acoustic set, cause it’s so far from what we use to play.

Here’s a song from the acoustic set. (filmed by Jerry Giertz) House Of Pain from Faster Pussycat
