See, there's a quick answer to the question! ;) Good news though - who
is handling the Kalas tour by the way? There are questions like: Will it
be in July like last year - and will they pick new cities and towns to
play in this year?

I suppose it's a rather thin line what is relevant or not, but I guess
you're right - it is interesting to know that a big name is going to play
in your neighbourhood. On the other hand, a 'good' band for one person
doesn't have to be good for everyone else!

You just asked them. Maybe the rest of us just didn't see the connection
and/or didn't care enough.

I can only speak for myself, but there are several reasons why I'm not the
most frequent poster around. First of all, I subscribe to a few other
mailing-lists as well and just reading them takes more time than I
actually want to spend in front of this screen. Secondly, I have to work
on my final paper. And thirdly, here in Lund there is a carnival coming up
and that makes a lot of us down here rather busy!
Btw, speaking (writing?) about non caring people. I posted some
information about Lundakarnevalen, but *nobody* seemed to care. That's
pretty strange since 1. It included information about a lot of small
Swedish bands (isn't that what Scandinavian Indie should be all about?)
and 2. It's a big event among Swedish students. So, I suppose you're
right, people don't care much at all!

You're right about that. And there probably are people on the list
who doesn't like JAMC (perish the thought! :)) but we can't really ask
on the list before posting such things - or perhaps we should? Kind of
like "does anyone like Bananarama? I have a list of tourdates if anyone's
interested..." - but then again, the list would probably be as dry as
a throat in front of a cold Carlsberg. ;)

Yeah, but I don't want to be the only one posting and asking questions
on the list - it would be a simple distribution list then. It is here
for discussions *and* interesting stuff being posted.
On that note - maybe it's time to ask the list whether anyone's interested
in the stuff I'm flooding it with? Gig guides? Festival info? News? Music
on the Radio/TV? Tour lists? Promotional visits? Reviews? (I know there
haven't been many lately - but the whole Reviews section is re-built right
now, and I'm not going to flood the list with the 80+ reviews on the way
to be added to it - you'll have to check out the area on the Sin site when
it's finished, if you're interested.) Anything you'd rather not see posted?

I understand what you mean. I'm in a similar position myself - maybe
we all are? Maybe it's just the two of us and Morgan left on the list? ;)
No, but seriously, I mainly wanted to know what was up - and what's
going on. I'm not better than anyone else when it comes to igniting
discussions and asking questions on the list.

Oh, I was kind of surprised to see Colubrids in there. I had no idea
they were still around. Are they signed to any label? I saw them years
and years ago here in Linkoping, and from what I remember, they were
actually pretty good. Of the other smaller bands, I haven't heard
(of) any of them before (oh well, I have heard and seen Wagon of course)
but not Mellow, Destination Groove, Dublin Bombers, Fleshtone,
Soul Quality Quartet, Damn, Rupert Knodel, Tummel, Ostblock and
Salsa Metro. Can't say their names reveal anything about their music
style, so if you have any info - please post it!
> Martin, who saw Sideshow Bob at Palladium (Lund, Sweden) yesterday and

I have yet to see them live - which I hope to do this summer. Maybe
at the Hultsfred festival. What are they like live? Any major differences
compared to their recorded sound?

At least I would say "Yes! I am interested" to that! Everything except for
"Music on the TV" and "Promotional visits" (because most of those visits
are in Stockholm and I try to spend as little time as possible with both TV
and Stockholm. In January I was in Stockholm for three hours and during
that time I almost ended up in the middle of a car accident, stumbled upon
an injection needle and a tea spoon laying next to each other and was
harrassed by a mad lady who claimed it was strictly forbidden to stand on
the sidewalk. Phew!). Especially thanks for the info on Sarah Assbrings new
band - the sound samples sounded great!
It was also nice to see someone (Morgan, I think?) replying about the
"Kalas" tour. I think I asked about that a week ago but without any reply.
Though that question was at the end of a long (and rambling) message, so
perhaps it is understandable if noone saw it. Perhaps it was that message
that made everyone on the list fall asleep?
And to add some new info (which might be old to someone else): it seems as
if Olle Ljungstrom will be the main act at this years "Sommar-X" in
Linkoping. I haven't heard this being confirmed yet, but I read in a tour
guide in Aftonbladet that he will play in Linkoping on that date (June
12th) and I find it hard to believe that it should be at some other place.
And since the event this year is held during the same weekend as the
Hultsfred Festival I guess the organizers will have even less problems than
usual with people who actually go there to listen to the music rather than
to buy as much beer as possible.

That's news to me at least. So they have moved Sommar-X... I wonder
if that is such a great idea, as a lot of people go "back home" or
elsewhere when the university closes for summer. And how about all
the people who are going to the Hultsfred festival? Olle Ljungstrom
is a good choice though. Do you know if they plan to book more bands?

I guess I've gotta be the "fly in the ointment" then and say that out of
all the lists, the Music on the TV and Radio lists are the ones most
relevant to me.....I'll never be able to make it to a gig at Herr'garn
or Studion (living in the States as I do), but I can at least get to
hear some of these bands if I know when they will be broadcasted (I've
got friends in Sweden who can and do tape for me). So the TV and Radio
lists are very appreciated, at least by me....
Thanks,
Chris

All of this information is the main reason why I'm still subscribing to
the list. It's my main source to gigs in general. Thanks for posting them!

I *think* I heard that they would be releasing a new album soon, but I'm
not sure. I've never seen them live, but I have their debut album and I
know that they are talented.

I thought both Mellow and Soul Quality Quartet were quite well known
bands! I have honestly never heard any of their songs though...

Sorry! But if you've got the time and energy, try to find out for
yourself. Here are some sources that might be useful:
www.lundakarnevalen.org - the homepage of the carnival
www.af.lu.se/nationer/ - from here you can reach all of the nations and
some of them probably describe the sound of
their bands during the carnival

I suppose their live sound is a bit more raw, as most other bands' live
sound is. What struck me was how much the live rendition of "Heavy Metal
Nerd" reminded me of old Teenage Fanclub! I never thought of that before.
Btw, how would you describe the sound of Sideshow Bob? To me, they sound a
bit like late Nirvana with some added country influences.

I just found a homepage for this event at:
http://www.kil.liu.se/kalas/sommarx
which says that confirmed artists so far are Lars Winnerback and WILD
ROVER. Nothing about Olle Ljungstrom there yet but, like I said, it seems
as if he will be playing in Linkoping that night at least. My personal
reaction is that those who are going to Hultsfred, where Olle will play
too, won't miss very much.

Subject: New and Norwegian.
Hi out there!
I've just signed this mailinglist and got 24 messages yesterday and
today (I guess I should check my mailbox more often...?). This is great
I think - even though there are just a few guys that write to the
list.... I can see you are Swedish for the most, huh?
I'm writing from Trondheim, Norway and guess there should be some
interesting happenings to report...
In this area there aren't much of a hot festivalsummer I should say...
The former "TMV-festival" in Trondheim is to be replaced by the
"Traakk"-festival - but until now there aren't any lineup presented. I
guess the festival is to be arranged in august, and someone should have
something to say about the artists on stage or what?
Any Norwegians on the list with any information for us?
As some of you may know it's going on a campaign in Trondheim to save
the part of the town called "Svartlamoen". This is an old "labourhood"
which is decided earthed to give space for commercial business.
"Svartlamoen" is crowded with some of the most talented artists in
Trondheim - including bands like Motorpsycho, Funny Farm and people
around them, and the inhabitens of "Svartlamoen" is giving away a
festival to maintain support for the "labourhood". This festival should
be including both music and other arts, and would be a great oppurtunity
to get to know some of Trondheim's most popular and gifted alternative
artists. Scan-Indie should give it a note,and
perhaps some Norwegians on the list could be helpful again?
Well, this was some of an heartbreaking "puff" from Norway - just to
introduce myself to the list. I hope some of my townmates maybe get
things started too, and by that we could have a Norwegian fraction in
here......not to say that the Swedish things aren't interesting, but
including some more people the list would be even more up to date?!?
See you around!

Hi out there!
I've just signed this mailinglist and got 24 messages yesterday and
today (I guess I should check my mailbox more often...?). This is great
I think - even though there are just a few guys that write to the
list.... I can see you are Swedish for the most, huh?
I'm writing from Trondheim, Norway and guess there should be some
interesting happenings to report...
In this area there aren't much of a hot festivalsummer I should say...
The former "TMV-festival" in Trondheim is to be replaced by the
"Traakk"-festival - but until now there aren't any lineup presented. I
guess the festival is to be arranged in august, and someone should have
something to say about the artists on stage or what?
Any Norwegians on the list with any information for us?
As some of you may know it's going on a campaign in Trondheim to save
the part of the town called "Svartlamoen". This is an old "labourhood"
which is decided earthed to give space for commercial business.
"Svartlamoen" is crowded with some of the most talented artists in
Trondheim - including bands like Motorpsycho, Funny Farm and people
around them, and the inhabitens of "Svartlamoen" is giving away a
festival to maintain support for the "labourhood". This festival should
be including both music and other arts, and would be a great oppurtunity
to get to know some of Trondheim's most popular and gifted alternative
artists. Scan-Indie should give it a note,and
perhaps some Norwegians on the list could be helpful again?
Well, this was some of an heartbreaking "puff" from Norway - just to
introduce myself to the list. I hope some of my townmates maybe get
things started too, and by that we could have a Norwegian fraction in
here......not to say that the Swedish things aren't interesting, but
including some more people the list would be even more up to date?!?
See you around!

Subject: major label charity / Thee Bimboos / Wilma
My memory may be a little shaky here so don't kill me if I'm wrong
but an artist from Boston called Mary Lou Lord released her album
"Got no shadow" on Sony/WORK (whatever that is) and certain cds
contained a card that promised a free promo ep called "The pace of
change". So miracles do happen don't they ?
On a more scandinavian note, does anyone here like Thee Ultra Bimboos?
I'm just curious to know how they got their name cos I've been asked
about it a few times. Now there's a band with some real girl power for
you all, none of that spice crap we're having in Helsinki next week.
One more geeky thing for the finns, is that Anna Kuoppamaki from Wilma
singing in the Sonera add on tv ? Does anyone know if that's their
new material or is it just a custom made song ?
peace,
