We’re back with a new tourmanager, maybe the wrong title since he will be driving the tourbus and be 3B’s drumtech as well. Still we’re missing a roadie for me and Bedlam, which I think is more important then a drumtech for 3B. The drumtech is also the drummer of Sticky Dirt

Peace and Love! / Stuff

I thought it would be nice for you to hear a sane voice among the ramblings which have been going on here on this page the last month. And tell you a little about what’s going on the upcoming weekend.

Well it’s Rockbåten in Helsingborg of course. Sticky Dirt, the furious party rockers, Killer Clan of F.U.N. of course and Dirty Penny.

Dirty Penny came here from the US for the Stockholm Rock Out Festival last weekend, and took the opportunity to make a minitour in Sweden while at it. They wanted to feel the rock temperature in Skåne, and of course, Rockbåten is the place for that. Saturday, September 18, 21.00.

Listen more to Dirty Penny on their Myspace page.

Lastly I just wanted to tell you that the guys are really flying right now. After two tremendous gigs last weekend at Stockholm Rock Out Festival and Halmstad Kulturnatt they are full of energy.

Well some of them are maybe flying a little too high, but there’s not much to do about it. Maniac for example is running around shouting to everyone that his hand hurts. Why? Because he had to write so many autographs. And he claims that all the american rockstars asked for more than five signatures each!

BBB on the other hand stated boldly, when he arrived home, that he obviously is the girl magnet of the band. He refuses to wear a t-shirt anymore. He even had proof he said, and showed me a paper, where a long list of numbers were written. 30, maybe 40 of them.

- These are phone numbers to my chick following I got at Stockholm Rock Out. Hehe, I have my own chick army now, he chuckled.

I had a closer look at the list and asked him:

- And, BBB, why is it that every number starts with 555?

I left him with a puzzled look on his face…

Back from rehearsal and dead tired.

We went over the new live set a couple of times tonight and clocked it. Tried out a few different ways of arranging it aswell. We didn’t have a lot of time tonight so we’ll keep working on it on Friday. The right setlist is a big part of a successful show and depending on time and venue you constantly need to adapt it. We take that very seriously.

Also, added a new gig to the calendar. On September 18 Killer Clan of F.U.N. and a our good pals in Sticky Dirt will be opening for the awesome U.S. band Dirty Penny at Rockbåten. That’s gonna be a great show!

With the right setlist of course

Off to bed…

Mejeriet saturday and Rock Out Sundays, sunday (surprise!!!) in Stockholm at Harry B James. Watch this commercial spot for the Mejeriet gig in swedish. See ya there!

Unfortunately the singer in Close Quarters, Viktor, has broken his foot, which means that Close Quarters is being forced to cancel their gig at Mejeriet on Saturday.

Instead, Sticky Dirt, will join us on stage and take Close Quarters place.

Best wishes to Viktor,

See you next time guys

A little more than a week ago, the 2nd of the December, the band took the stage at Mejeriet in Lund.

The gig was something of a grande finale of an intense and fantastic autumn. The band was so charged with energy before the gig that you could almost feel it in the air. One do has to keep track of what Maniac is doing on such occasions, as he’s so tense and anxious to take the stage. Unfortunately I didn’t warn him in time that the plate he found with some strange powder, actually was a plate with black pepper. But he survived that too.

And it was that kind of night when things really can’t go wrong, no matter what happens. Mejeriet is a special place, as you really feel at home there from the start. It has that kind of warm atmosphere that you feel like you’re in your living room. Well, a living room with a very large bar inside. And a big stage. Well, as we would like our living rooms anyway.

With Håkan and his colleagues at Mejeriet being such pros of  what they do, everything is as good as it can be on a concert night with some hard and heavy rock.

Things happened, as they always do. Maniac managed to drop the mike, the first thing he did, and it just flew away into some dark corner where it couldn’t be found. Bedlam tripped over some cables and made a sommersault, which made him look like he was a pro gymnast. Apart from the fact that he didn’t really land on his feet.

But nothing could stop the band this night, and nothing could stop a great audience from having the best of times. Here’s a track recorded from the gig, the band performing “Tellin’ Lies”:

But the Clan wasn’t alone this night. Sticky Dirt, a hard rock band from Lund got up first on stage. And they really rocked the place. The energy and enthusiasm from the band, just shook us all. When a band is having that fun on stage it’s contagious. Here’s “Thank God For Jack Daniels” with Sticky Dirt:

Thank you all for coming, and we hope to see more of you all soon.

And thanks Frida Warnerbring for thes photos, and to all of you that have sent us photos from the concert.
