Subject: Circles Hissi and others! -> turning slowly towards Krautrokki!
Yes ... so far so good! But as we've mentioned it, what's with some
"Krautrock"-stuff out of scandinavia? Or a modern kind of that, too ? Is
there something like that ? If -> tell ME!

Hej, Reiner!
Here can you find everything about Danmarks smukkeste festival :
http://www.smukfest.dk/
It's in danish, but if you click on Artist info, there is a
presentation in english and you will also know everything about the
lights, the sound and the power they use, if you should take a band
with you ;). It's in the second week end of August, the other big
name is apparently Green Day :( but Lisa Ekdahl is playing too and
last year's most interesting danish band : Sorten Muld. They play
old danish folk songs (middle age) with a techno sound, weird.
They won a danish grammy as best danish techno band and the song
Ravnen ( The Raven ) from the album Mark II is a big hit on the
radio. They also play in Kolding, friday the 13th.
The other "big" festival you can reach from Germany, without taking a
Ferry is Midtfyns festival in Ringe near Odense, but usually the
music sucks even more. This year big name is Aerosmith :((
More info at :
http://www.mf.dk/
here can you find everything about all the festivals in Denmark.
http://www.jubii.dk/KulturOgSamfund/Musik/Musikfestivaler/
PS. I send a copy to the list, it may interests other people.
I hope you don't mind.

Candy Darling, featuring J. Evangelista, a man with a voice. he used to also
sing in the powerpunkpopband Protestants, which weren't as bad as my
categorisation would suggest... got their name from a transvestite who
hanged at Warhol's factory back in the days... they like to cover Pavement
tunes live.
My girlfriend is also sometimes called Candy Darling, but i guarantee she's
quite female, and quite mindbogglinly wonderfull. only minus points from the
fact that her hobbies include theatre, which always makes people a little
difficult... don't know why i told you that. maybe to proove that even the
elitist vanguarde of music nerdom can have relationships...

Sorten muld has an incredible official home page, it would deserve a

There you can see their video and enjoy Ulla, their gorgeous singer.
You ll have to fetch the shockwave plug-in first, though. Here is the

There is an unofficial too :

Their swedish label "Silence" (hedningerna) has one too :
with nice pictures. http://www.cabal.se/silence/sortenmuld/index.html

Yeah, it's amazingly cool. Shockwave is loads of fun to play with
and I love what you can do with it, though I wouldn't design a whole

Will it be any different than the US version? If not I really don't
see the point - as it has been readily available on import (at a non-
import price) pretty much everywhere in Sweden ever since it was
released in the US. A bit more interesting to know about would be
an upcoming tour of Scandinavia/Europe? I know they're playing in
the UK and the US but nowhere else (just like Curve...) Speaking
of Curve - strange that their new album is also readily available
on import (UK) in Sweden - actually it was available here before it
was available in the UK itself (!).

They're also playing in Denmark (Copenhagen) on April 18th -

Backyard Babies @ Roskilde Festival 98
--------------------------------------
One of Sweden's most dirty rock bands, Backyard Babies, have
been booked to play the Roskilde Festival 1998 in Roskilde,
Denmark. This is apparently not yet official as they have not
added the band to the list on their website yet, but the news
comes directly from the band - which should add some validity
to it. Scoop? Nah, just lucky. :-)
P3 Norwegian Indie Special
--------------------------
On monday next week (March 23rd) - Musikjournalen Pop on Swedish
National Radio channel P3 will broadcast their special on Norwegian
Indie! Finally! What to expect? Well, host Magdalena Wapnargard
went to Norway about a month ago and met up with the scene there.
Hopefully there's an interview with Breeders/Lush-esque favourites
Twigs and something from the new records released by Velvet Belly.
Other than that - listen! Monday, March 23rd, Channel P3, from 7pm
to 9pm.
The Wellmeant in Finland
------------------------
Scandinavian Indie favourites The Wellmeant from Huskvarna in Sweden
are soon on the road again! This time they take a trip to our eastern
neighbors Finland for a couple of gigs. On April 24th, they play in
Tampere (Tammerfors) and on April 25th in Turku (Abo). Dates
may be added! If you're interested in booking the band - check out
their website: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~chief/wellmeant.html
We told you Komeda rules!
-------------------------
Komeda's new single 'It's Alright Baby' which was released last week
was selected most probable to become a hit on both TV (ZTV) and radio
(P3) in Sweden the same week. And wouldn't you know it - it went straight
into the Swedish Radio Chart at spot #37 this week! The new album 'What
Makes It Go?' is released on March 25th - and the secret is - it will
blow your mind! Yes, it really is that good. Reviews coming up as soon
as the new Reviews area is finished.

I speaked to them on Saturday and they were in Stockholm finishing the
mastering of the album as well as doing a video for the forthcoming
single. That is one of the explanation to why the gig was cancelled. The
other was that the English record company didn't want to pay the money to
bring them over.

Hi!
I just thought I would let you know that Tandem, the college radio show
from Lund, have a new website up at:
http://hem.passagen.se/tandem
Check it out.
And some BIG news (at least for me): Brian Paulson who has produced Son
Volt, Wilco, Superchunk, The Jayhawks, Archers of loaf among others are
most likely to produce the next Loosegoats-album. The work will probably
take place the coming summer.
Take care!
Jonas Nilsson (who is happy becuz he recently found out that Whiskeytown
are coming to Sweden in the end of April)
