Subject: Oxford tape chain
Hi all,
There seemed to be enough interest to start a tape chain for Oxford indie
music, so here goes!
At the moment the chain includes:
Christopher Kakkos (Gre)
Timo Riitamaa (Fin)
Johan Helmstad (Swe)
Lisa Melleg[character that didn't come out properly]rd (Swe)
Isabella Lundgren (Swe)
Michael Rehnstrom (Swe)
Leif Larsen (USA)
Chris Forsberg (USA)
If each person tells the list when they receive the tape (which is a C60 by
the way), then anyone who might want to be added to it will know who to
contact.
I'll post it off to you in a day or so, Christopher, together with Timo's
Finnhits tape.
Hope you all like it!
Mo

Subject: Finnhits tape
Hi all,
Finnhits tape (+ Oxford tape) now on their way to Christopher in Greece,
and I'm listening to the Finnhits for the first time.
I'd not heard any of these bands before, apart from 22-Pistepirkko, so
didn't know what to expect... some of the more garagey-racket stuff I'm not
very into, but there are plenty of gems among the rest.
22-Pistepirkko should be stars in the US, Timo is absolutely right. I like
Pavement, but 22-PP do the same sort of thing a lot more interestingly.
CMX's 'Harjat' is Goth-rock in my book, and good stuff too (anyone remember
a Goth band from Tampere called Two Witches? I heard an excellent song of
theirs years ago and always wondered if they'd done anything else).
Rinneradio's 'Aromaa Alt Too' is fine moody trip-hop, I like it a lot lot
lot. Aavikko - now this is strange music, a sort of demented circus
barrel-organ pumping out tunes of doom and despair. The two Circle tracks
are excellent, especially the second 'Brilliant Colours for Bright Ideas'.
Thanks Timo!

Well, I can at least confirm that. There was an ad in yesterday's GP (local
newspaper) announcing 'Wannadies, Egg-Stones + Support' at Vagen 7th of
March. Tickets from Bengans @ (+46) (0)31-24 24 00, 15 00 22, or 13 06 80.
That's all I know, hopefully someone else knows more. Since I just moved
here I would appreciate if someone could give more info. Is this a
reoccuring event? Whith what frequency?
Later,

Subject: Re: "Vagen" in Gothenburg (+ Eggstone at underground info)
I didn't know about the V}gen gig before, but there appears to be a gig
every now and then at V}gen nowadays. I suppose it's about the right
size for certain bands. And there aren't too many other "medium" sized
venues in Gothenburg - so that's definiatly nice.
Anyway, I now know that Eggstone will also play at Underground on
February 20th (as Erik believed) and not on the 21th as Underground
(and I) announced earlier. Unless Eggstone are going to cancel that
date of course. I'm not sure they really want to play here twice within
two weeks time, but maybe they do?

Whow! never heard anybody call CMX goth..... are you sure it was a Two
Witches song you heard? i've always thought of the music as really boring,
and i've never heard anything good about them. and it's not because i would
think all goth is boring. not even my goth friends like them. i've always
thought of it as just a compilation of goth clishes (sp?) i've got a comp.
album called Runeberginkatu 8 (the legendary Oskun Divari record store is
there), and it's got a Two Witches song. their instruments are listed as:
"monster bass", "pitiless drums", "psychotic guitars", "backin' weeping",
"lead howling", and "creepy synth+backin' screams". not kidding!
If you like that Circle song you should get "Zopalki". their new "Hissi" is
a lot more krautrock oriented.

From: Jesper Sandvad
Subject: Hi all (from a newbie)
Hi everybody,
before I subscribed to the list, I looked at a few mails in the digest,
and noticed that we danes seem too have the reputation of not having any
cool indie bands. Unfortunately, the rep is mostly correct. Compared to
the shitloads of cool bands from Sweden, Norway and especially Finland, we
have extremely few really good bands. But I'd like to mention one of the
better releases:
Shake Appeal: Praying for a little luck 7" (Karls Grammofonpladeselskab)
Local heroes from Aalborg with their first 7" and a passion for loud, fast
and funny. This is garage rock with a vengeance, heavily influenced by old
Stooges stuff and my favourite garage band New Bomb Turks. Definitely
worth a listen, and one of the best livebands from Aalborg ever.
Actually, Shake appeal is opening act for Swedish Hellacopters at 1000fryd
tomorrow (1000fryd is the best and the only underground music venue in
Aalborg). I heard Hellacopters "Supershitty to the max" (I think) on tape
recently, it definitely made me look forward to the show.
Anyways, do you discuss bands like Hellacopters, Brainbombs, Sweetheart,
Turboneger and so on on this list? I didn't recognise any of the bands in
the "indie index" on the homepage, except for bob hund and cardigans.
js
PS: Check the homepage of 1000fryd at http://www.kom.auc.dk/~js/fryd/
unfortunately it's in Danish and a bit boring, but check the list of
bands that played last year: Lost of great scandinavian stuff!

Date: Wed, 12 Feb 1997 17:51:35 +0100
From: Michael Rehnstrom
Subject: Finnhits + questions
Nice to see that there is life on the list, I was beginning to wonder. I
have three topics to bring up. Let us begin with the Finnhits tape:
I liked this tape. It sounded just as strange and different as I would have
expected from a finnish collection. I have no idea of why the organ sounds
of the 70s has managed to survive in Finland but I sure like bands like
22-Pistepirkko (on this tape especially "Wild Billy"), The Cybermen and
Larry & The Lefthanded. I also liked CMX, but I do not know if I would call
it goth (but I am not very familiar with the goth scene). And if Aavikko
really was a cirkus orchestra (which they sounded like in the second tune)
I would probably spend a lot of money visiting finnish cirkuses. When it
comes to Sweetheart and Circle I have forgot them, so I guess that is a
good sign that I did not really like them. Rinneradio is doing music in a
way I usually like, but I think I have heard other bands performing it
better. But overall, a good tape!
Then I have two questions. First of all, I am trying to do some research
about a band called Baines. Since this is a Linkoping band I should know
about them and I also have seen them live. But I want to know more, so if
anyone has any information about them (record labels, records/cassettes,
everything), do not hesitate!
Question no two: My old hometown, Vastervik, has not really made much noise
in the music world (except for being the birth place of Bjorn in ABBA, I
guess). But in the mid-80s there was a band, from Vastervik, which I liked
a lot. Perhaps I would think they are crap if I heard their music today, my
definition of good music has changed a bit since and I do not really
remember how they sounded. But still, I wonder if someone has any recorded
material with them. Their name was New Echo and they played instrumental
synth music, one song was called "Funeral" I remember. And if anyone knows
about them, please tell me: were they good?
/Micke, really admiring those who have spent time reading all of this mail

Hey, that sounds pretty cool. Hope they're not TOO hung up on the Stooges
'cause a lot of bands just don't understand that playing wah-wah for eight
minutes can get pretty boring. Of course the Turks never do that so they
gotta be cool, right?

No, it's mostly Cardigans and so on. Turbonegro's playing Stockholm in
march at kafe 44 so everyone who is not a wimp 'll be there. Maybe they'll
raid Copenhagen too. That "Prince of the Rodeo" 7" is so fucking asskickin'!

Someone (Mo??) was asking about Two Witches the other day.
I have a CD called "Into The Darklands, Early Years 1987-1989"
which is a collection of early songs with Two Witches and their
fellow Tampere-based electropoppers Advanced Art. It's released on
the German label Vuz in 1995. The bands have 6 six tracks each on it,
which originally were released on since long deleted 7" singles in
1988-89.
The liner notes features a Two Witches discography, which I hereby
transcribe, if someone wants to check out their back catalog.
1991 Dead Dog's Howl (7", Darklands)
1992 Agony Of the Undead Vampire pt. 2 (CD, Darklands)
1993 The Vampire's Kiss (CD, Darklands)
1993 -"- (CD, Cleopatra)
1993 Phaeriemagick (CD, Talitha)

They've become more straight garage rock the past year, so yeah, more
Turks than Stooges (tho' the singer definately has a soft spot for Iggy).

Bummer. If you're into Scandinavian garage rock I'll recommend the new
Moshable fanzine (#16). Lot's of stuff about hard rock'n'roll from all
over the world, but Scandinavian rock rates high in the editors' opinion.
I saw in the ad from Beluga that you can get it through there.

Well, Copenhagen is a 6 hour train ride from here, so I guess I'll wait
'till they visit Aalborg again :-)

Sorry, but I thought Denmark was such a compact country. Six hours! That's
like from Stockolm to Malmoe!
So you've seen 'em live, huh? Did the singer stick fireworks up his ass in
Aalborg too?

Well, they're actually from Östersund in the far north of Sweden. Don't know
much else 'cept they play REALLY fast so they fit right in with Los
Ass-Draggers. Don't miss the gig on friday at Kafe 44 for anything in the

I'm working on getting a tape with a bunch of Danish indie bands from
the Danish radio channel P3 program "Beat!" people which will later be
sent out on a tape chain, but it seems to take some time before that
happens, so if you have the time / want to make such a tape for a chain,
I think we'll all be interested! The guys at "Beat!" mentioned Danish
bands like Ibens, Lovebites, Kashmir, Port Friendly, Vildensky, Bloom,
Obstinate Esther, and Subcircus, but I haven't heard any of these!

Anything goes, though as a rule, if you want to talk about something not
dealing with Scandinavia in any way, put "Non-Scan:" before your subject.
The "indie index" isn't anything to be bothered about, because that page
has been there for almost two years now, looking like that. One day, it
will be the "indie index" it was meant to be, but not until I get enough
time to complete the work on it.

Not that I don't want to, but I'm not too crazy about Danish indie, so I
buy very few new records. I have none from the bands you mentioned.

From: Michael Rehnstrom
Subject: Pluxus + Non-scan
I am not exactly overwhelmed with the response to my questions about Baines
and New Echo so far, but I make another try with another band: Pluxus.
As far as I know, Slowball Recordings (which seems to be a reliable
company) has released a C-60 tape with Pluxus, which I think is a swedish
band. I was just wondering if someone could tell me what kind of music to
expect from this band, so I get a hint on whether it is worth investing in
the tape. As I said, I trust Slowball, but I have never heard Pluxus
before, so I would like some info about them before I buy the tape.
Non-scan: It was several months since the last time I had that
stupid-looking (more than usual, that is) smile all over my face.
Yesterday, towards the end of the Gallon Drunk (UK) gig at Herrgarn, I
realized that it was there again. Such a brilliant gig that to miss them,
when they play at a venue near you, would probably be among the most stupid
things you have ever done. I think they can get even better - the saxophone
player of Moonshake (who used to be a member of Gallon Drunk) had told the
people at Herrgarn that Gallon Drunk perform their best gigs when they are
really pissed off, but i saw them smile several times yesterday, so please
tell me when they are really mad and I will come right away (sounds more
like a threat than a promise, I guess)!
That was all, Cheers!

i've only heard the song on the slowball 'in release city'-tape, and
it didn't excite me that much. but i'll get it anyway (support your
local indie-label!).
it's called pluxus - "music inspired by the architecture of kennedy
international airport". and according to slowball it has "the coolest
beats in sweden, nice analogue and digital keyboards, and nice guitars.
much better than the pluxus song on release city".
