I have seen them live - twice! The first time at Blekingska, doing the
booking myself. A good gig (it was nice to hear Johan's voice again).
The other gig was at Palladium in Lund last tuesday, when Fly was
supporting act to Wannadies. A good gig; I really like "Everywhere at
Once" and "Green Lights". Those songs sounded much like Easy (The
guitars! The guitars!)

I LOVE the vocoder in "A Simple Formality". "Happyment" is smashing, and
"It's Alright Baby" is probably the happiest song I've ever heard.

Ceasar's Palace is the best band of them all; you really can't tell that
Jocke Ahlund from boring miserable bastards Teddybears Sthlm plays the
guitar. It sounds like... UCP meets Soundtrack of Our Lives & The
Stones, playing Sisters of Mercy covers. Or something. In one of the
songs, they're actually ripping off "Vision Thing" and it's just great.
By the way. I forgot Grand Tone Music. "Tell Me" is the best Joy
Division never wrote.

All the bands mentioned first (Crass etc.) were April 1 jokes, as
JN saw through. The real three bands added to the Bollnaspunken

That is actually a good description. And the songs you mention
are my favourites as well. Though I'd like to throw in ye olde
"4 Grune Freunde" - I remember they played that one (along with
a song called "A Walk" (or something?) on the Vaxjo music TV
program a few years ago... "Soda" was it? I wonder if they'll
do well in Germany with the english/german language mix?

I think it's Johan's voice I missed the most - it's so special,
and you always heard it was Easy as soon as he started. ;)
Any word on them playing at any festivals? They played
Emmaboda last year right?

We really should get married you know. :-) Strange that we
pick the same favourites - as these are my picks as well.
I suppose the rest will grow though - as with many of their
old songs. Took me four or five months (not constantly
listening to the album of course) before I realised what
a great album it was. I'm glad I didn't review it even!

You're right, what I've heard definitely had something to
do with the Stones. Hmm, better go and get this album as

Midtfyn Festival (1-5 July in Odense, Denmark) moves on and

band in there _not to be missed_ : Unun from Iceland! Their
gig last year at Roskilde was one of my personal favourites
and it doesn't compare to anything else. Expect a lot of fun
and _a lot_ of noise mixed with gorgeous guitar filled pop.

Audioweb (UK), Baal (DK), Bleeder (DK), D:A:D (DK),
Del Amitri (SCOT), Faithless (UK), Ginnman/Jorgensen (DK),

SONIC YOUTH + SOULFLY + THE VERVE @ ROSKILDE 1998!
--------------------------------------------------
Roskilde Festival (25-28 June in Roskilde, Denmark) sneaked out
some really heavy names for the 1998 festival during the night
between saturday and sunday. Sonic Youth (US) - with their 14th
album "A Thousand Leaves" to be released on Geffen on May 12th,
and Max Cavalera's new band Soulfly (BR) - who's self titled
debut album is out on April 21st on Roadrunner, were immediately
added to the news section on their entry page, but The Verve (UK)
was just added to their huge line-up (and Radio Tarifa (E) was
removed - which probably means they have cancelled) - perhaps a
way to see who checks the list and who just check the first
page? Sneaky, we have already seen news headlines today only
mentioning Sonic Youth and/or Soulfly - but as we're always
checking the full line-up, we don't care. ;-) It is Good News
in any case! (full festival details as usual on the Sin web -

Maybe, but the german taste in music is a bit awkward, isn't it? I mean,
Dr Alban, Vacuum, and a whole load of other bands in the "galopptechno"
genre (pardon my french). "4 Gruene Freunde" is a really good song. I
guess you like "Thursday Night Mr Cool" also Erik, as our taste seems
very similar. In that song, they have stolen a passage from Offspring's
"Come Out and Play" (probably the only really good Offspring song).

Yeah, Fly playes Emmaboda. I saw them there two, I just forgot. It was a
nice gig, the sun shined and people sat in the grass just enjoying
themselves. I think the band was a bit disappointed, byt the audience
was not.

I revieved Komeda's new album in Sydostran (and at Popoga). I gave it
3/5 in Sydostran, but now I think I might have been too stingy. It is a
great album. "Campfire" is also a favourite of mine, by the way.

Subject: RE: Are there any good Danish bands...
following the break-up of 18th dye two of the members (heike
radeker and frank neumeier) went on and formed another three
piece called wuhling together with anne rolf (former member
of caspar brotzmann massaker). wuhling only managed to record
one album before splitting up shortly after its release. the
album was called "extra 6" and can still be found from touch
and go records. it's a pretty good album in the vein of 18th
dye, maybe a bit less sharp-edged and repetitive.

Exactly. I am 100% certain that there is NOTHING at the lysator end of
things that can't handle 8-bit characters. If there's something that
can't handle it, I suspect it might be some people's old email-programs.

Subject: Fly is Easy!
A couple of days ago Fly decided to change their name to...Easy! Yup,
happy days are here again. The three members of old Easy together with
the three new ones thought they were close enough to being the original
band to still be called Easy.
The Fly album, which should've been released now, is dealyed until June
and according to Isse at record company Dolores they will have to
reprint about 3 000 albums.
The name change is due to one English record company called Fly, two
American bands called Fly, one german magazine called Fly, an indian
restaurant called Fly, two Jamaican 70's rocktrubaddours called Fly etc.
etc.
Fly is Easy.

Cool! I can see the headlines now... "Let's take it Easy again",
"It's Easy!" (etc.) ;-) A sad story it is though - and the extra
amount of time before the album is out together with the extra
cost Dolores will have to carry for the reprints - isn't good
for anyone. But I suppose those with the first pressings now have
gems in their hands - I ordered but never received (and now I know
why). I wish Dolores would let people know about these things
when they order though. I haven't heard a word.

Does this mean that we can expect to hear classic tunes as "Castle
Train", "Horoscope", "He Brings the Honey", "Land Diving", "Cloud
Chamber", "In Black and White", and "Never Seen a Star" live again? Nah,

sonic youth wasn't bad at that gig, it was the fucking audience. many

you might have a point but they hade made an almost complete diffrent
songlist compared to when i saw them at karen in gothenburg nov. 92 (which
still are one of the 5 best non-iggy pop gigs ive been too) and they havent
choosen the most easiest songs... i thought i liked sonic youth, but there
was very few songs i actually recognize at the roskilde gig. but it might
be so that i wasnt enough hardcore fan to really enjoys those songs.

I saw them in Copenhagen in 92 and they had a completely different set
there too. It was a very good show. People were there to see the band
and not to get drunk, stoned and tattoed.
I didn't see the whole show at roskilde, but I recognized all of the
songs I heard.
Have you heard the records EVOL, SISTER and BAD MOON RISING;)

Hmm, the official Leslies website does not say anyhing about it, though
it does say that they are looking for a new label and that they will
release a 7" single in the US soon. I'll check with the band and see
what's up.
