Subject: BOB review
I am in a 'review mood' this weekend :-). This time it is a demo cassette.
A while ago Erik reviewed a demo by Vimmerby-based BOB (THE BOBBY EWING
FAMILY) (yes, that is their name) and I became interested. I managed to get
hold of their second demo "The birth of mosaic poetry/philosophy" which was
OK but with a terrible sound quality. Aware of that they went to Linkoping
to record their third demo "Black blood of karma snail" in a real studio
and with a real sound technician/producer (Gertz Sjoberg). And the result
is quite good, both musically and when it comes to sound quality.
As you can see on the titles of their demos, we are not talking 'chewing
gum' texts/music here. The same goes for the song titles - "Infinite lost
at word sea", "The psalm of the kamikaze computer" etc - and the texts. In
fact, I have stopped trying to understand what they are singing about but I
can tell you that it does sound beautiful when Johann Krantz and Rebecka
Bond sings all those strange words. And I can also tell you that it is
_dark_. NIRVANA is the most obvious reference but we are not talking "Teen
spirit", but rather "Polly" and "Something in the way" as they would have
sounded with some guitar explosions added to them. As I said, it is dark,
beautiful and suggestive. One weakness is, perhaps, the predictability: all
songs are built up in the same way. At first the sound is fragile, Johanns
light voice accompanied only by a quiet guitar and a keyboard but then - in
the chorus - the already-mentioned explosions come. But I can stand that,
and I can stand that this is really nothing new. Perhaps it is because I
always feel great sympathy for people singing about the dark sides of life
(well, I think that is what they are singing about) and I also think that
songs like "In the shadow of" and "Psalm of the kamikaze computer" are good
enough to be recorded 'for real'.
If this sounds interesting I reckon you can ask about the demo or other
things about the band by mailing Johann Krantz directly at:

Hi my name is Jason from Texas. My favorite bands are Cardigans, Popsicle,
Bob Hund, Kent, Cloudberry Jam, among others. I desperately want to see if
anyone owns the CD by Popsicle "Power Ballads EP". I have been trying to get
a hold of this forever.
thanks

From: Micke Rehnstrom
Subject: Chickenpox review
It has been so quiet here lately so I am almost beginning to wonder if we
perhaps should have that "Best of the year" vote already now, just to make
things happen :-). While you reconsider that suggestion I can give you
another report from Herrgarn in Linkoping. CHICKENPOX, from Linkoping, are
celebrating their 5th anniversary as a band this autumn. They are just
about to start recording their second full-length album (the first one was
produced by Michael Blair!). They may not be the best band in town but when
it comes to live performances things are different. Perhaps you understand
this if I tell you that the key word is _ska_.
Because ska music (once again: more "traditional" than "punk") is what they
play. I guess it is really no use to try to describe their sound in a more
precise manner, their music does not vary very much from how most ska bands
sound. And, once again, as for most other ska bands (IMO, of course,
someone else might have a different opinion) the music may not be very
exciting when you hear it coming from a stereo. But (again, as most ska
bands) they are one of those bands that can make you go home, from a
concert, suffering from aching feet (because of all the dancing) and a huge
smile all over your face. This was exactly the case last thursday (though
they did not fall through the stage floor this time. They did it the last
time they were at Herrgarn). Most people in the audience enjoyed it and so
did I.
Also, it has to be said that most people who see CHICKENPOX perform live
will probably only recognize one of the members afterwards. Mattias Ahlen,
the vocalist, is one of those guys that it is impossible to turn away the
eyes from when he is on stage. He really does a whole lot of work during
their gigs. Either he is singing (which he does quite well), dancing,
jumping around, stealing bottles of water from his fellows or just acting
crazy in general, he is certainly a guy who adds something extra to an
already good concert. Go see them, if you get a chance. If you wanna know
more about this band you can check out:

Up next week (october 2nd) at Herrgarn are emocore gods SAMIAM (US),
supported by SHADES APART (US)
/Micke, kinda wondering if "Be here now" by OASIS is not just a muzak
compilation of their first two albums?

Subject: Mouth??
It just crossed my mind: Does anyone know if the swedish band MOUTH does
still exist? It was almost a year since I heard anything about them. I know
that they were sacked from their record company and that they released a
demo which was, in fact, better than their album. They had changed their
sound, the tunes were rather sad, almost heart-breaking. But after that -
nothing!! Anyone?

though)

Hm, didn't they all move to NYC to continue their odyssey as _real_ rock
stars, since the Swedish scene was way too small for Mouth? A good band,
with a crappy attitude unfortunately. I've not heard anything from them
since their last album failed to sell and they left the country.
Does anyone spot a connection there?

Well, it is not impossible to do muzak versions of muzak, is it. I have
heard quite a lot of disgusting cover bands play TOTO tunes.

Ok, not scandinavian music but I hope you can forgive me;
I bought my first ReddKross record ever today (the CDS "Secret Life")
and fell for the song "It's In The Sky"; so the question is, have
they done more stuff with that kinda sound?

Subject: Best mailorder: your opnions?
Hey there...
This is just a quick question which maybe some of y'all can help me
out with: What's the best mail-order place to get scandinavian pop, indie
and punk stuff from? I'm in the US and there's a lot of stuff I'd like to
get my mitts on but which I don't have the patience to wait untill next
summer to get so um yeah, I guess that's it. If there are any places in
the US which redistribute scandinavian stuff, that'd be great too, but any
recomendations would be much appreciated...
thanks,
Martin.

My favorite is Roundabout. No punk stuff, but James does stock AWSF, NONS,
Harry Lime, Dorian, and Soap releases, as well as various other
Scandinavian odds & ends. Kind of old fashioned, Roundabout has no e-mail,
so for the fastest service you can call to ask for a catalogue and to
reserve items. Contact info:

From: Micke Rehnstrom
Subject: Shallow/Swoon (+ Samiam and Shades Apart)
Devoted shoegazers/dreampoppers should be aware of the fact that there is
now yet another band name to keep in mind. Not a new band, though. When I
scanned through the SID archive I could see that you, a while ago,
discussed the large amount of bands calling themselves "Shallow". One of
them, the one from Kumla (Sweden), has now decided to do something about
that and will, from now on, call themselves SWOON. On their latest demo,
"Goodsign ep", both names are printed but in the future it will be just
SWOON. (Source: John Hard, SWOON).
Enough about that. Since SAMIAM and SHADES APART are american bands I guess
it is out of the scope of this list to post a long review of the gig I just
came from. Besides, if you are into punk-pop and emocore, you do not have
time to read any long reviews; what you should do immediately is to find
yourselves a vehicle that will take you to the nearest venue where these
bands are about to show up. Anything else would be utterly stupid, it won't
get much better than this.

Subject: Iceland and other night spots
Hey all,
This is a message for Swedish and Icelandic bepsters and scansters...my
friend Marti at Sonicnet is going to Iceland and Sweden to do a story on
the nightlife there. If you know of any cool bars, night clubs, or any
type of special party nights, it'd be cool if you email me so I can pass
it on to her. I told her what I know (which aint' much).
Thanks!
Chris
Now playing: Stina Nordenstam "Memories of a Color" (ok, so I like to
mellow out every once in awhile...)

From: Kimmo Saaskilahti
Subject: dada girl r.i.p.
Here's the latest piece of indiepop news from Tampere, Finland: Dada Girl
have split; they played their last gig a week ago and no longer exist, at
least in any form previously known.
To my understanding, the reasons for ending the group were the fact that
all the band members moved away from Tampere/Nokia and that contrary to
their expectations and hopes, there wasn't any real progress to the group's
"career", resulting in lack of interest in the future of the group.
As far as possible future projects of the members are concerned, I was
happy to learn that Aki Ala-Kokko and Arttu Haapalainen will continue
working on All Stars, having already recruited new rhythm section upon
their move to Helsinki. Also, being the supertalent he is, Antti Pinomaki
will undoubtedly emerge back to pop business sooner or later; maybe with a
new form of Dada Girl or in some completely other guise.
That's all I know (right now),
Kimmo

I'll second that. For things noisier, you might try Ajax or Forced Exposure
which both have had a fair amount of Scandinavian (or Finnish at least)
releases in their catalogues with reasonable prices.

Subject: Honeycave go west
I read today (quite embarassing to admit, but it was in Expressen I read
it) that Swedish band HONEYCAVE are going to the USA next week to record
two songs for a soundtrack to a movie I think was called "Clubland" or
something like that. At least one of the songs will be played in the movie.
The band will also perform two gigs in Los Angeles, one of them at venue
"Viper room".
And that was about all the information given in the paper (I was quite
amazed some time ago when Expressen had a whole article about the death of
the vocalist in LINK 80, until I realized that it was not because of him,
but because of the fact that his mother was Danielle Steele (poor guy)).
/Micke, listening to "Bird, fish or inbetween" by SOULS and wondering why a
band has to split before he realizes how great they were
