Have you heard that Eggstone is going to be the opener for the
Cloudberry Jam tour in Japan!!!!!!!!!!
It does sound pretty incredible but I heard it from mats in bent Spanner
Arty Banner, and he should know because he heard it directly from Per
sunding.

Subject: Bo Kaspers Orkester
Seeing the news about CBJ playing with Bo Kaspers Orkester got me to
wondering about this band. Have they done anything besides "pa hotell"?
Yeah, yeah, I actually do have a few major label releases in my collection.
But the band seems to have quite a few redeeming qualities, even if the
singer does make me think of a Swedish langauge Sting at times. Like their
broad use of quite a few jazz genres within a pop/dance format. Especially
dig the "harlem-globetrotters" styled whistling on "mindre smakar mer".
Well, any opinions out there?
Thanks,
Alexander

After 2 years of being vaguely aware of Bo Kaspers, I like them more
and more, even if they're getting a _bit_ overplayed in Sweden at the
moment. Their new album 'Amerika' seems to have quite a number of nice
laid-back jazzy tracks on it. Their not by any means indie, but you
could certainly put them on as background music, flipping between them
and Stereolab and CBJ and Portishead and everyone would complement you
on how good a cup of coffee you make.
Robert, while I'm here, anyone know anything about the Bad Cash
Quartet?

Per didn't mention that last thursday, but I do know that Eggstone is going
to Japan next week (together with a new Japan-only single...), but according
to the guys in Dipper, they will be there for three weeks, and Cloudberry Jam
will only be there for about a week, so maybe they have worked something out
for those gigs? Anyway, their tour dates should appear somewhere soon, so
then we'll know what the deal is for sure.

Subject: Aqudays + Fidget story
To make a long story short, my car broke down half way to Stockholm
yesterday, which meant that we missed Shallow's performance at Tre
Backar and the Fidget release pre-party at Tantogarden. But after we had
the car towed away in the snowstorm, we grabbed the train from Sodertalje
and made it just in time to see Aquadays (just simply amazing!) and managed
to go to the Fidget release party afterwards, but unfortunately not in time
to see their performance, though in time to bump into Sami Sirvio (Kent
fella') and enjoy a few beers and the DJ:ing from Fidget band members
and Mega A&R Peter Ejheden as well as give up the long queue to Kvarnen
and clean Louise's bag at McDonald's after someone emptied a large coke
over it. Fortunately, we were able to hitch a ride back to Linkoping with
Fidget member Daniel and his girlfriend and a friend of theirs who had room
in their car. Phew! Well back home I find that my VCR is broken again
(twice in two months) which meant that nothing I programmed it to record
had been recorded. Anyone have some luck to share?
Anyway, check out Z-TV Nytt next week for a Fidget-special (with weird
questions and answers) and evening paper Aftonbladet probably ran a story/
interview today that Hakan Steen made with them this week (I don't know
if it's in the paper today because I haven't been able to buy or check the
paper today - anyone?).
Tour-wise, good news for you guys in Finland too! Apart from Sweden, the
band plans to tour Finland (and hopefully manage to get to Tampere this
time :-)) in April/May.
Oh - the band will have another release party in their hometown (Gothenburg)
on thursday next week (March 27th) at Harry's
//Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) - hoping to win the lottery in order to
be able to repair the car and the VCR...

Subject: Rocket Festival
Hi!
I was to the Rocket festival (arranger: Eric Paglia of old Bandit) at
Karen at the royal institute of technology this Friday. I thought I'd
write something short about each band playing there.
First out was:
Star Ryder.
I haven't heard this band before, but it caught my ears that they are
from Lulea. The playad a realle Oasis-influenced rock with nice melodies
and some good swing. But, i think they should sell their Oasis-records
and start doing something of their own. Everything was very plagiarized.
Honey Cave,
was the second band to play. I don't know where they are from but if I'm
not totally wrong they just released their debut-album (tell me!). I
can't really understand that they have e record deal, 'cause I couldn't
stand more than three songs. The (girl) singer was really terrible and
her voice was very unpleasant and the music was nothing special almost
without any melodies. Sorry but this was to much for me. Nice with a
violin though!
Mismates
really caught my interest! They started up with two soft, almost acoustic
songs, that really made right to Anna's (the singer) beautiful voice!
After the two first songs they changed to a little bit harder sound,
playing nice pop songs! This was one of the best bands of the evening!
Quote: "Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks!"
Superswirls
played really cool synth-rock music with great sound effects! Too bad
that the singer didn't catch ONE clean tone during the whole gig. Anyway
this was the best band of the evening and I would even buy their album!
But I'd like to hear a better singer and better melodies.
Quote: "I hope you are satisfied, because you paid 60 bucks to see
this....SHIT!"
Mazarine Street.
I have seen/heared this band two times before (at Lollipop & Studion) and
both times they where a lot better than this. What I think is unique with
them is that they have a kind of a DJ scratching LP's & making realtime
sound effects. Unfortunately they've mixed down everything of it which
made the music boring to listen to. The same songs, the same screams from
the singer, the same guitar riffs and so on... sorry guys you were
better...
Quote: "We are really famous!" & "Keep smoking, keep smoking on!"
Grass-Show
opened for Kula Shaker at their England tour. I can't really
understand why 'cause the music was nothing special (unlike Kula
Shaker). They are good musicians and they've have a lot of
stage experience. A good looking band. But nothing more.
I didn't see the last band, Fungus, anybody heard of them?
Remember that this are only my opinions, maybe I wasn't in mood that
evening 'cause I just realized that I've critized everything. Anyway I
hade a nice & fun night with some good music!
Thanx...
Rami

Honey Cave are from Stockholm. Back when I played drums with the garage
rock band Dee Rangers we rehearsed at the same place as Honey Cave and
Happy Dead Men. No, I don't like them very much either...
Just to complete Chief's story about the Fidget release party... I was
there, and I chatted with guitarist Daniel for a while. He told me that
while his girlfriend was driving up from Goteborg that evening, she had
actually seen Erik and his broken car along the road somewhere :) Why
she didn't stop to support you or something beats up... Fidget played
five or six songs at the party, which was OK but the volume was too low.
There were pop stars galore... Kent, Popsicle, Wannadies, Whale, Fireside,
Teddybears, you name it... A little too crowded for me, so I left after
the gig was over.

Fidget story or?
> is the album any good?
It certainly is. :-) Even though I'm not _extremely_ satisified with it
('Semi-Naked' isn't what it used to be for example, and they didn't include
the wonderful guitar-walls they have when they play live), it's got the
amazing 'My Prawns' which actually is enough for me because it's just
a marvel in itself.
Here are some thoughts on some of the songs:
'Pokerface' is a weird thing with a banjo and a blip-blop synth
between lovely electric guitar choruses where they use a hollow
sound on the synth with a perfect fit.
'Singoalla' on the album is actually a new title for the demo song
'Hoovering Away', though it is the studio version with a lot more
synthesizer sound and Nina's voice not as happy-go-lucky sounding,
and thus not as naive and genuine as the demo version.
'Teddy' is the studio version of the demo song with the same name.
Here they have added background strings (!) which I wish they hadn't
because it is a very beautiful song in itself, without them. Slow
and sad with a jangly guitar, a moody synth and a piano.
'Fast Forward' is really really good - disted electric guitars mixed
with a bit of Superswirls sounding synths and (you know the Commodore
64 game 'Rambo' - when it loaded, the intro song that played then?
Ie. the same as in the movie, but with the C-64 sound. Exactly the
same sound!) early Depeche Mode synth sounds.
'My Prawns' is like I said, just totally mindblowing. Disted guitar
intro leading into a single key synth w/Nina's voice with her Finnish
accent, adding a single jangly electric guitar, then a disted electric
guitar more and more, and finally going into the guitar filled chorus.
And that's where Nina's voice really goes into high-performance. It's
alarmingly good.
'Focus' is a slower pace song with a muffled effect on Nina's voice
in low key, and it almost sounds like they've used the effect on the
instruments as well.
'Night Out' I'd almost like to call a punk song because of the fast
and heave chorus pieces, but the parts between them are in another
division - the more Fidget like division.
Interesting "secret" - they used the demo version of 'Stop Losing' on the
second single and the album.
Another "secret" - they will use the guitar-wall bliss on an upcoming
single! Yaaay! :-)
We discussed the way the studio recorded/produced songs sound on the
singles and album compared to the demo versions with Louise, and came
to the conclusion that it would be better to record everything as demos,
without the pressure that comes with "serious" recordings. It just isn't
the same.
Anyway, Fidget is definitely Sweden's only band that sounds like this,
and I'd say that's a pretty good reason to at least listen to the album
before you buy.

Apparently it is permanent. ZTV and Expressen (and I think Aftonbladet)
reported the same thing last week, and said that the band is looking
for a new replacement right now.

If anyone goes to a Dipper + Mopeds + Three Blind Mice gig in the near
future you can ask the guys in Dipper - they know. I did ask them myself
when they were here, but they didn't have the right papers (or whatever)
with them there. Or email Vibrafon - vibrafon@algonet.se

Subject: Important Finnish CD Chain News
I received the Finnish "And I wish to hide in
the sand" CD awhile ago...and, well, I couldn't hear anything. The CD is
ready for the trash heap. I know it was already
reported that the CD became damaged somewhere along the line (there is a
huge hole right on the side with the digital information). I seem to
recall that someone said part of it was still playable, that a few of
the tracks would play. Kimmo made the decision to keep the thing going for
that reason. Well, someone must have messed it up even more, then, because
it's dead now. I tried it in two CD players, and then took it over my
best friend's house (he happens to fix stereo equipment for a living, so
he knows all about CD players) and he tried it in three CD players in his
house. No go on any of them. He assured me that the CD was
unplayable because the Table of Contents is destroyed (the Table of
Contents is sort of an index at the very beginning of the CD, and there is
a bubble that keeps it from being played. So, even though sections of the
CD are undamaged, a player can't read them because of that bubble.
I know I'm already a bit miffed about paying to send this thing on when I
didn't even get a chance to hear it, but I guess I will send it on back
home to Kimmo...Kimmo, maybe you can make another one?? And tell people to
be careful this time?? :-)
Later,
Chris

Yeah, Johanna (Daniel's girlfriend) said "I'm sorry!" to us the whole
night. She even signed my copy of the album with "I should have stopped" :-)
Anyway, I guess we were too late to mingle with the pop-star-crowd as
we only spotted Sami. Well well, do you know which songs they played
by the way?
