Clint's mailorder is great, but it's very small. I was over at his flat a
few weeks back, and I'm pretty sure he was out of everything on Siesta.

Don't bother with the URL - it's always out of date. But you can send
e-mail to:
Joerg Winzer <1winzer@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>
Or, one could just write Siesta. I know that their prices to ship to the
US are way too high, but within Europe it should be ok. And, actually,
Erik, being in the enviable position that you are, it might be worth it to
just write them and tell them that you run a mailing list, and you'd be
interested in some samples...?

Maybe I'm over-simplifying things here, but I was just referring to the
record label Creation, where several of the bands shared a special "feel",
for me at least: My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Boo Radleys...
I got sort of the same feeling with Fidget, which was combined with the
wackyness of Sugarcubes. Plus that Nina's voice reminds very much of
Bjork, in the way she "whisper-sings" and breathes in the mic (though
of course she lacks Bjork's range of voice).

Subject: I'm new
Hello all,
So Im new on the scan indie list and have just received my first digest
(No3.18). There is a Tape mentioned a few times and as far as I can
guess, it is something like a mixture of new and classic Swedish stuff.
Is it true that it is send around so everybody can make a copy? If yes,
can you send it to me, too? If it is possible, I´ll mail my address
later.
Now I have a suggestion: Can you please ad an address to the Demotape
reviews, so that you now where you could ask for a copy? Well, Im not
from Sweden and it might be not so easy to get them here in Germany :)
bye Andreas

Subject: Re: Finnish Tape
I have to admit that I'm ashamed of my ignorance of Finnish pop.
The only bands I've heard about before are Poverty Stinks and
22 Pistepirko. I got the compilation tape the other day and it's
excellent! Beautiful melodies throughout the hole tape, very
consistent.
Good job Kimmo!

p.s Off the topic: I saw Millencolin perform an awesome concert
at Al`s bar, downtown L.A. this Sunday. They just released
their latest album on Epitaph records and will tour the south,
east-coast and Canada together with Down By Law.

Subject: Salt gig tonite
Hej everyone,
In about a half an hour I'm heading back down to the 8x10 club to see
Salt tonight with Girls Against Boys. I stopped earlier today, to buy a
ticket, and I wound up meeting Daniel. I sorta knocked on
the door of the tour bus and did the groupie bit....Daniel let me in,
and then signed my CD and got the others (who were sequestered in a back
room) to sign it too. Watched a roadie do surgery on Nina's Rickenbacker,
the plastic underneath the pickup was fractured (she apparently mistreats
it by playing it very rough, the roadie said.....). Daniel said he didn't
know anything about this "free surprise" us US scan-indie subscribers were
supposed to recieve via email. I told him that his management had set it
up through the scan-indie list......he said he'd have to check with her,
but seemed perplexed. He was very cool and nice nonetheless, and I'm
looking forward to their show. Perhaps I'll give a little thumbnail show
review later!
Bye,
Chris

Subject: Cloudberry Jam in London
I realise that this is kind of late and that to most people this'll be
pointless (sorry!) but if anyone else on the list is going to see
Cloudberry Jam at the Dublin Castle tonight (I'm sure that there is at
least one other Londoner on the list), come up and say "hi!". I'll
be the shortish, stoutish, dark haired chap wearing black jeans and a
black polo-neck sweater.
I am very much looking forward to it. I'll probably do a quck review for
the list on Monday if anybody is interested.

WARNING: Three reasons why you should immediately delete this message:
1. It contains a surfeit of gushiness. Those with an aversion to unbridled
enthusiasm should read no further.
2. This is a personal account of a night out at a concert. Much of the
content has nothing to do with music.
3. It is long. Too long.
You have been warned...
Friday 19th April 1996.
So, a few drinks after work and then it is straight to the Dublin Castle
for the long-awaited Cloudberry Jam gig. I get there early (8ish) and am
surprised to find a large crowd already in the pub. There are a smattering
of people talking what I assume to be Swedish but the majority appear to
be British. I had figured that CBJ were relatively obscure to UK gig
goers. Maybe I'm wrong.
I meet up with my Belgian housemate, Xavier and as they are still not
letting us into the back room where the bands play, we grab a beer and
wait near to the entrance. An American couple who are well into their
forties are umming and ahhing about whether to go in and ask me what
Cloudberry Jam are like. I've only heard two songs before but I do my
best and it seems to work because they decide to go in.
I then meet up with three lads that I know vaguely through work. They've
come to see a band from Leeds that they thought were playing but aren't
and are wondering whether or not to stay for Cloudberry Jam. Again, I tell
them what I know and they decide to give it a go.
I'm now responsible for six people (including Xavier) who have never heard
of Cloudberry Jam before tonight paying five quid a head to see them. I
begin to worry in case they don't live up to the promise of those two
tracks.
Eventually, we get in to the room with the stage and discover that
Cloudberry Jam aren't due on stage until 11.00pm. I'll need to leave as
soon as they finish their set if I'm to catch the last tube home.
The first band come on and one reason for the large crowd is apparent. A
whole bunch of folks, many of whom don't look like your typical indie gig
goer, are stood near the front singing along to the lyrics. I assume that
this is their first London gig and they've brought a coachload of friends
along for support. I can't remember what they were called and soon lose
interest. Time for another beer!
The second band are no better. There's nothing to do but drink and wait,
drink and wait, drink and wait...
Finally, it's time. Cloudberry Jam amble onto the stage and we make our
way to the front. There are still quite a few people in the room (over 100
anyway) but the majority of the folks at the front, apart from us and a
handful of Japanese kids, appear to be Scandinavian. We grin inanely as we
dance, carried away by the wondrously happy melody. Only one problem,
Jennie's vocals are too quiet, blended into the instruments when they
should be soaring above them. After the second song (to my chagrin I
don't know the names of any of the songs they play) I shout out to Jennie
that we can't hear her. She motions to the soundman and we are in thrall
to the melody.
I wish I had the vocabulary to describe how *good* those songs make me
feel. I'd told people beforehand that they were kitsch sixties style pop,
a bit like the Cardigans but much better. Well, that is still true and the
Cardigans are the obvious (too obvious) starting point when trying to
describe Cloudberry Jam (anyone who likes the Cardigans ought to love
Cloudberry Jam) but, but, but...
Okay, I'll try and put it this way. Imagine the Cardigans with a whole lot
of Soul added in. Yes, as in Motown, but also as in that indefinable
ingredient that some music has that enables you to completely and utterly
lose yourself in it.
They finish but we are still intoxicated with them. We turn to each other
and tell one another how great they were as if we can scarcely believe
that it was real.
I break a cardinal rule. I go up and speak to the band. I'm probably
embarassing myself, telling them how great they were. Gush, gush, gush.
They must think I'm a real idiot. Come on Sean, act your age. But they're
really great people. I ask if they have CDs to sell and as they don't,
they introduce me to Helena from North of No South and she turns out to
be wonderfully friendly too and takes my address and promises to help me
out.
And then we all go to the Laurel Tree, en masse, and I get completely
wasted and my jacket gets stolen but I have a fabulous time nonetheless.
The evening has a rather surreal end to it involving me being arrested on
suspicion of assault and paying someone to break into my own house but
this message is already far too long.

A Shrine - (West Side) appeared on Swedish National Radio P3's program
Musikjournalen Dans, a program for dance/house/techno/trance
music, on wednesday April 24th. The band was interviewed and
two songs from their album "Unisex" were played. Something
the band said would never happen if they would have continued
to play guitar-based independent north-pop. Ekan said that
the record company (West Side) was so indie, that half would
have been enough. (Source: Scandinavian Indie, P3)
Aquadays - who appears on the Dorian Records compilation CD (800 copies made)
called "A Chance To Shine", to be released around May 6th, have
changed their song from "Spacious" to "June". The band also
have plans to release their debut album this summer, also on
Dorian Records. (Source: Scandinavian Indie)
Cloudberry Jam - (NONS) went to see Sonic Youth on their first night in
London, UK. This was of course the night before their
gig at the Dublin Castle Club. (Source: Scandinavian Indie)
Eggstone - (Soap) and Komeda (NONS) will play in London, UK at the opening
night of a new club called "Wonderwall" on May 7th, 1996.
(Source: ZTV)
Fidget - have received clear offers from four record companies, and will
decide on which one of those they are going to select after they
have played in Stockholm at Studion on May 3rd. The band will
probably also play at Lollipop in Stockholm this summer, though
that is not 100% sure yet. They want to play at the Hultsfred
Festival, and want us (Scandinavian Indies) to help them out
by sending e-mail to the Festival stating that we want to see
them at the festival! Messages can be something like "Please
get _Fidget_ from Gothenburg to play at the festival this year!
They are the greatest..." etc. The Hultsfred Festival has email
address: hultsfredsfestivalen@motor.se (Source: Scandinavian Indie)
Gatufesten - the festival in Sundsvall July 4-6 is starting to get their
artist schedule ready. Here is the list (so far):
Hoola bandoola band, Kent, Garmarna, Louise Hoffsten,
Pineforest Crunch, Popsicle, Rob'n Raz, Papa Dee, Robyn,
Fistfunk, Infinite Mass, Sven Ingvars, Rebecka Thornqvist,
Stefan Andersson, and Leningrad Cowboys.
(Source: Anders Thorsell)
Lousy - has received very positive reactions from a UK management company
called Jam X. The company also has it's own label called Superior
Quality Recordings with distribution around the world by Polygram.
One of the bands in their stable is The Bluetones. A&R people from
the company are planning to come and take a look at the band in the
near future. (Source: Scandinavian Indie)
Salt - (MVG/Island) 's song "So" will go on the radio first this week on
WFNX in Boston. It will also be the second single from the Mission
Impossible Soundtrack (though it is _not_ in the movie). The first
single is the Mission Impossible Theme reworked by Larry & Adam
from U2, which is said to be pretty wild. Meanwhile, in Sweden the
video to "Honour Me" was premiered on ZTV's "Tryck Till" April 19th
where it got the grade "sv{nger" - which means that they think it
will be a hit. (Source: Scandinavian Indie, ZTV)
Shallow Soundwave - play together with Broder Daniel at Hemulen in
Gothenburg on April 27th. They will play all the songs
from their demo tape + two new songs. The band has
added a new guy on guitar, Olof, but he will not
perform live with the band yet. Two record companies,
MVG Records and Sun Spot Rec. will be on the spot to
check them out, which probably means that there is a very
bright future for the band. They have also been added
to STIM recently, and they also appear on the Dorian
Records compilation CD, which you already know.

i don't know if this has been mentioned before but i feel compelled to

bob hund will be doing two shows on saturday a matine in the afternoon
which is all ages and a 18+ show later that night. honestly i think
everyone should try to go to the all ages show just to prove that all ages
shows realy work and there should be more of them. i still feel the fear of
rejection that always crept through my spine when i had to sneak in to see
that bands i wanted too.
and music with such a pure emotional impact as bob hunds gets me higher
than anything anyways so there's realy no need for the alcohol.
see you at the eary show...

yes! at least ONE who remembers how it was being about 16, standing outside
the place where your favourite band was going to play and not getting in
because of some stupid rules about alcohol. i don't want alcohol! i want
the concert. with 2 years left to that magic age, i'm dying almost once a
month because of this. it IS a relevant problem. this all-ages-concert is a
brilliant idea but as it only happens maybe 4 times a year it's not enough.
maybe it helps making yourself look like true sXe? i don't know.

Subject: Another Shallow..
Just thought I'd menation that I found yet another band called "Shallow"...
This one is from Kansas City (Missouri) and have a sound, that isn't
very surprising, in the Dreampop/Shoegazer area, with influences from
Spacemen 3 and Cranes. Reportedly, they have played with bands like
Luna and Mercury Rev. A small discography:
1. "Shallow" tape, 1993 7 songs.
2. "(lack a dai si cal)" tape, 1994 8 songs.
3. "Cool 500/Sounds so Good" 5" 1995 2 songs.
4. "3D Stereo Trouble", Zero Hour Records 1995 17 songs
5. "the sonic boom remixes" vinyl/cd 1995 (vinyl and cd have different songs)
also on zero hour.
6. "CD Lens Cleaner", ???? Zero Hour (includes a Spacemen 3 cover)
A bunch of bootlegs (videos/tapes) also exist.
Their homepage can be found at: http://www.inlink.com/~jasper/index.html
Anyone found another Shallow? :-)

Hail to the ... umm, Albert! :-)
Seriously, definitely nice work there. This means that we have two chains
going, the finnish and the icelandic. I've received votes for the Swedish
tape (3:rd vote) from four people as of today, and I don't think there
will be any more votes coming in, so I'll better take care of it asap!
(so we can start the 3rd chain.. :-)) I'm only waiting for an "OK" from
MCA to include one of the songs by Fidget.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Broder Daniel - (EMI) received 3 "wasps" (out of 5) from reviewer Peter
Ohman in Expressen Fredag for their latest self-titled album.
He says: "Pure technically, this is one of the most rickety
and warped albums ever recorded, it sounds rehearsal studio,
demo tape and skipped re-takes; the guitars are some of the
worst swedish ones since the punk-years. Probably completely
deliberate." and "And in some way, the imperfections are not
interesting behind the band's stong front. Broder Daniel is
this country's most deranged rock group, and that is an
underestimated talent for rock stars." The album received
4 "plus" (= "very good")(out of 5) from reviewer Per Bjurman
in Aftonbladet Puls. He says: "A lot of things have changed
since their debut last year. The band has grown remarkably.
It sounds tight and heavy." and "It is more glam-rock now,
more Ziggy Stardust and Telegram Sam. And at the same time,
the quintet shows a lot more pop-culture than before."
(Source: Expressen Fredag, 19-Apr-96. Aftonbladet Puls,
19-Apr-96)
Drain - (MVG) made a video to the song "I Don't Mind" with Wayne Isham,
who directed Metallicas Enter Sandman, behind the camera. The
video is based on drummer Martina Axen's recurrent nightmares
and is said to be extremely scary. (Source: Aftonbladet Puls,
12-Apr-96). "- I have big troubles with authorities, I have been
fired from every job I've had, can't take it when someone tells
me what to do. I didn't do that in school either. I quit school
when I was 13. The last job I had was at Burger King, I got fired
after six weeks that time.", drummer Martina Axen says in an
interview in the magazine Kerrang. (Source: Aftonbladet Puls,
19-Apr-96)
Kent - (BMG) member Markus got beat up by a girl when he went to school
(fourth grade). (Source: Aftonbladet Puls, 12-Apr-96)
Mazarine Street - (FineTone) received 3 "plus" for their debut album "The
Beast Of..." by reviewer Per Bjurman in Aftonbladet Puls.
He says: "I was pretty impressed when I, last summer, saw
these young Gothenburgers play nice glitter-pop at the
Emmaboda Festival. But I'm even more impressed when they
now make their debut with a bunch of raw, noisy, Stooges-
coloured firecrackers. Very promising." (Source: Aftonbladet
Puls, 19-Apr-96)
Monostar - are on their way to be signed to EMI. "- Everything is actually
ready. We're just waiting for the management to give us the
go-ahead" says Eric Palmquist (vocals, guitar). Several record
companies have displayed an interest for the band from Gotland,
though these days they live in Stockholm. The biggest interest
comes from EMI. A talent scout has seen them live several times
and has been listening closely to their demo tapes. The same
talent scout recently signed Busty, fronted by Carl Lundell,
who is a close friend of Eric's. "- It's great for him and the
band. And at the same time, it's an incentive to us.", says
Eric. Similarities and differences between Monostar and Busty?
"- We probably have the same influences, Neil Young, and that
lot, but what comes out of it differs." Eric has been writing
and recording new songs during spring, and started to work
at Studion in Stockholm about a month ago. The other members of
the band are: Linus Larsson (guitar), Carl Silver (bass) and
Jimmy Harlevi (drums). (Source: Gotlands Tidningar, 06-Apr-96)
Nojesguiden - the free Stockholm entertainment magazine asked a bunch of
artists if they dance? Here are some of the answers:
Jennie Medin, Cloudberry Jam: "- Yes, to everything but
techno. I actually met my boyfriend on the dancefloor."
Q: How do you dance? "- Like a windmill. I flap my arms a lot.
At the Emmaboda Festival I happened to lose my balance and
fell down some stairs, it hurt a lot in my caudal vertebra."
Henrik Berggren, Broder Daniel: "- Yes, sometimes when I have
been drinking so much that I don't know what I'm doing. Some
acrobatic exercises and one or two somersaults. But very
rarely. Q: Do you headbang too? "- Yes, but not in the
traditional way. I more shake my head sideways."
Karin Dreijer, Honey Is Cool: "Sometimes, if it is a party.
I get happy when I dance, but it has to be sexy music, that is,
not guitar-pop." Q: What is the worst? "- Pulp and Oasis!"
PA Wikander, Popsicle: "- Well, not really, I feel too old.
Mostly cheek-to-cheek to old classics from my youth. Q: Any
dance memories? "- I remember that all the boys who danced
cheek-to-cheek with good looking girls sagged a lot. That was
hard to look at. I'm not sagging at all. (Source: Nojesguiden,
April 1996)
Popsicle - (Telegram) were asked if they would like to do a duet with the
swedish "dansband" Arvingarna on TV4's program "Knesset" by the
producers of the same program. The answer? A fat "No!". Maybe
Popsicle still wishes that Arvingarna will be killed in a
tragical bus accident. (Source: Aftonbladet Puls, 05-Apr-96)
The band is back in the studio again, recording new songs for
an upcoming single with producer Niclas Frisk, even though there
still are a couple of good single-tracks on their latest album.
(Source: Expressen Fredag, 19-Apr-96)
Salt - (MVG/Island) from Stockholm entered UK Independent list at spot 20
with the song "Honour Me". (Source: Aftonbladet Puls, 12-Apr-96)
Scents - (Soap) received 2 "plus" (= "passed") for their latest self-titled
album by reviewer Per Bjurman in Aftonbladet Puls. He says: "In
more temperamental-filled songs, like for example 'Now This!' and
'Virgin Snow', Scents competes with the top of the swedish indie-
pop wave survivors. But the well-combed people from Skane seem,
for some reason, to want to make cool coctail-pop and when they do,
they are just a second- ord third-grade Eggstone." (Source:
Aftonbladet Puls, 19-Apr-96)
Shredhead - (NONS) received 3 "plus" (= "good")(out of 5) from reviewer Hakan
Steen in Aftonbladet Puls for their latest album "Melting Pot".
He says: "It rocks dynamically and intelligently and there are
lots of pop-threads to continue on. And that Nina Ramsby from
Salt is a guest on a couple of tracks certainly does not make
things worse." The album received 3 "wasps" (out of 5) from
reviewer Martin Carlsson in Expressen Fredag. He says: "To find
a swedish group that jumps with more life and movement than
Shredhead is almost impossible. Johan Sellman's funk-mouth
rattles like a muffled Anthony Kiedis and the fiery hardcore-
comp creates a thorough pressure, not to mention a resounding
swing." (Source: Aftonbladet Puls, 05-Apr-96. Expressen Fredag,
19-Apr-96)
Soundtrack Of Our Lives - (Telegram) were finally signed to.. that's right,
Telegram, after slow negotiations with a bunch of
different record companies. Ebbot Lundberg (vocals)
who recently turned 30, notoriously wild ex-singer
in Union Carbide Productions tells about Telegram-
boss Klas Lunding crying when he heard the group
playing live. Not just because they were so good,
but also because he felt sorry for them. The reason?
That they would be a success first when they were
so old. (Source: Nojesguiden, April 1996)
Stardog - (West Side) received a 2 "wasps" (out of 5) from reviewer Martin
Carlsson in Expressen Fredag, for their latest album "In Order
To Disorder". He says: "Chilly weight, just about right agressively
without being slow or speedy, rather monotonous after a while. On
the other hand, the melancholy pop-ballad 'Never Be The Same'
stands out like a lyrical Popsicle at a death mass. More of that,
please." (Source: Expressen Fredag, 12-Apr-96)
Waterbug - (West Side) from Gothenburg made their debut last year with one
of Record-sweden's most kept secrets. The album, called "Super-
califragilisticepialidocious" has, according to the band, sold
about 1.000 copies. The fact that it, a) was good and b) got
pretty good reviews in the press, does not make the buyers'
powerful non-interest more comprehensible. Their new album,
"Monday Morning Quarterback" is a lot more artful and radio-
friendly, than the debut, which was a tasty excess in swedish
lo-fi. Kjell Nasten, who has produced The Wannadies and The
Bear Quartet, was called in to make Waterbug's music a bit more
easy accessible. But the album is not super-slick - their sound
is still both awkward and full of go. Patrik Jonasson (bass)
says, though without bitterness: "If it doesn't work this time,
we might as well just quit. It feels like a win or lose situation
with this album." (Source: Nojesguiden, April 1996)

Nunstedt. On the question what they were going to do this summer,
Ekan answers: "- We're going to watch soccer and drink hard
liquor. And then we'll probably go around Sweden and play
nonsense-gigs for idiots." To which Nunstedt replied: "What?"

about his son in the latest issue of "Upp & Ner" magazine. "- I
said to him: 'Why aren't you singing in swedish, it is such a
golden opportunity right now? Those who are get everyone's attention
immediately.' But he read somewhere that they're really interested in
bands from Scandinavia in the UK right now... It's okay with me. He's
got to make his own experiences. I don't know why someone would want
to look that way, but he probably does. Eyeshadow, glitter, ink on
