And we're simply not going to leave old Aquadays members alone this
week either. The world of music changes daily, so it is not surprising
that the band "treb.sound.sys", included in the news last week, has
changed name to "sadovaja soundsystem" this week. Their homepage is
still http://hem1.passagen.se/phillyg/ - and it has also been somewhat
updated today.

Free Movement of Drinks at Roskilde again
-----------------------------------------
Last year, the visitors of the Roskilde Festival in Denmark were
surprised to find that they were no longer allowed to take their
drinks (whatever it was - juice, milk, beer...) through the gates
to the main festival site - something that had always been allowed
before. The reason was environmental, and the whole festival site
(including the camping areas) was affected. Environmentally, it
was a success - more than half of the mountains of cans and non-
returnables were gone, but it was not a popular rule among the
festival visitors. Therefor, the festival organizers have now
removed this rule - and drinks can be brought into the main festival
area once again, though it has to be in one of the festival's own
deposit-paid containers - ie. the way it was before the rule was
enforced. "We don't run the festival to annoy people..." a spokesman
for the organizers said.

Hi everybody,
I hope everything is okay with you. I have a band in Brazil called FIRST RESIST an we released our first CD-Single with three songs - Simple Lesson, Wedding Gifts and Grey - last February. We made this CD- Single lonely without any help ( do it yourself ) and we are looking for some people, bands, labels that can support us in Sweden, Norway, Iceland,Finland......... Here radios, labels, magazines just ignored local bands that sing in english.
Thanks.

Just a quick note about the Nojesguiden "sneak preview" party held
in Stockholm on Wednesday May 27th (you have already read about the
party held in Gothenburg the same night here). The Stockholm party
is held at Mike's Entertainment but is sadly *invite only* - sadly
because the amazingly good band Barusta (Starboy) is playing there.
I guess Stockholm and Gothenburg are a bit different when it comes
to these things?

Subject: JJJ, Karkkiautomaatti, Aavikko, etc
And speaking of disco, I may still be making up my mind whether or not
"Tattoo" lives up to my Jay-Jay Johanson expectations, but I definitely
like the disco number towards the end of the album. Preceded by an
accoustic number (I guess I'm just a fool) with which it just might share a
melody, "Friday at Rex" is quite synthetic disco-y sounding, but the fact
that JJJ still crowns at his usual lazy pace makes all the difference.
I was in France when the album came out there (apparently JJJ has settled
down somewhere there as well), and there were even big posters of JJ in the
subways. He had a big gig the last night I was in France, but I opted to
go see Ignatus play on a boat instead, not being fond of large concerts
myself. (And in fact Ignatus turned out to be a hell of a performer, but
that's neither here nor there).
Word from the French list is that JJ has just done a cover of "Trust Me"
from Disney's Jungle Book. Which has got to sound pretty weird, because I
just can't imagine JJ doing it anything but sincere...
Other stuff I picked up on my travels:
Karkkiautomaatti: the "seikkailuun" single is really nice, can't believe
how twee this guy's voice is (the music is on the weird side). Everyone in
Finland told me that the lyrics are really sweet and lovely. The second
track starts off sounding rock and roll and then turns into a very bubbly
instrumental with some keyboards which force me to chirp along against my
will. I only have one question: Is the album out yet?
Aavikko "Derek!". On bad vugum. This record has seriously ugly artwork in
livid purple and yellow. The Czech I stayed with in Stockholm ID'ed the
car on the cover; presumably the picture is stolen from an old Czechoslovak
ad. But the music is pretty cool. Two guys with synths and a drummer.
Starts of sounding very rock but turns demented circus on us after a few
seconds. The Czech dubbed it "Finland's answer to Doktor Kosmos." Minus
the vocals, of course. And yes, I like it.
Picked up that old Lill Lindfors album, if nothing else, just because it
looks so great.
The new Komeda album has to be a contender for the album of the year chez
RK. That's all.

Subject: Scan-indie list disc chains start and end on alcatraz ave, well
not quite...
Greetings,
My fault, I'm afraid, but the Latvian chain CD showed up at my flat some
time while I was carousing around Europe, so I found it when I got back to
the States. Thankfully, I was the last on the North American segment of
its travels. Mo in Oxford is next up and last on the list. I'll post it
tomorrow if I don't manage to do it today.
Thanks to Roberts for compiling it.
On an aside, I can't help but remark that all the bands who have two tracks
on the disc seem to have one which is much "harder" than the other.
Drastically so, generally. So much that I kept being wondering if these
could really be the same bands. I also note that the hard tracks all come
from 1996, previous years being poppier, and 1997 as well. Did Latvian
noise peak in 1996?
Kinda enjoy the cheesy disco from Yaputhma Sound System, but then I came
back from Germany with an Andreas Dorau obsession, so maybe my system isn't
very sound right now.
About the Scan-indie lecture disc: I haven't made contact with the person
it seems to have gotten stuck with, but I have had word from a friend of a
friend of said person who promises to bust his knee-caps if he doesn't mail
it pronto.
More about disco under another mail,

I guess you all are itching to know that the Trondheim-based popcoreband
"BLEW" is in studio to record their first full format CD with release
september/october...??
The album is to be named "LIVERCOOL" because of the everlasting Kevin
Keegan-addiction of the vocalist and composer......that's cool!
The "Bolgstock"-festival (in Bolga outside Kristiansund, Norway) isn't
on the Scan-Indie festivallist (maybe it should be?) and it's therefor
unknown that "BLEW" is heading the festival in august (7th and 8th).....
It seems like the ScanIndie-list needs a correspondent in Norway
too...., and in the Trondheim-region in special? Well, I care and will
try to update on news and stuff from here....

Below is what I found in the news section on the Benno website
(www.benno.com). Sounds interesting, especially the fact that they will not
do a "Kent" (i.e. just translate their Swedish lyrics into English). Here
it comes:
Bergman Rock: Bob Hunds new side-project
The great Swedish band Bob Hund has finally decided on a name for their
side-project, namely Bergman Rock (previlsly there has been rumours about
it being called International Bob).
Bergman Rock will, in contrast to Bob Hund, have lyrics in English, and
will probably sign with an international label. Silence Records will
continue to release their records (as both Bob Hund and Bergman Rock) in
Sweden.
At this moment Bergman Rock has four finished songs. And the band wants to
once again stress that Bergman Rocks songs are no translations of Bob
Hunds.

It's out, and it rocks and it rolls. "Yks Kaks Motocross" is definately one
of their best songs. i can only describe it as Sami did at their gig last
friday: "here's a Roope & the Rockets style psychedelia song"... before they
used to sometimes sound dangerously close to pale blue trousers in a room
with wall-to-wall carpeting and ladies with small pink handbags, but now
they've really learned to boogie.
Alltough i was never really worried after they played AC/DC's "Jailbreak" at
Ilosaarirock a few years ago.

I only know that Starmarket will play there, but that's about it.
It is actually the only band booked for the festival (from Motor,
Luger, Skrikhult, Birdnest and United Stage) so far.

Beats me! As far as I know, it might already have happened. One of my
corridor neighbours were out buying tickets for some students party a
couple of days ago and I guess it might have been for this event. Not sure
about that though. (I lost the URL for the website too).
On a totally different note: Like I said I do not watch TV very much, but
when I have done it recently I have been quite surprised when hearing some
of the tunes in the commercials. First we had KOMEDAs "Boogie woogie rock
n' roll" in a beer commercial (and may I say that it is a perfect tune for
that commercial, IMO) and then THE WANNADIES and FREEWHEEL in IKEA
commercials. Not to mention MONOSTARs gigs at the IKEA store in Singapore.
What is happening? Have Swedish marketers suddenly become fed up with slick
Michael Bolton-esque versions of "We are the champions"? (Or is it perhaps
the IKEA founder, Ingvar Kamprad, who tries to regain some cred after the
discovery of his fascist/nazi connections during WW2?).

Just wanted you to know that Cecilia Nordlund
will do a couple of songs on stage with Bent Spanner, Arty Banner
this Saturday at POP DAKAR. It's just for fun. Not a big deal. She's not
a new member of the band or anything like that.

Hmmm, well, I might be there, but if Transister is playing Hultsfred
the same day, no.

I guess they have finally realised there's money in popular music. :-o (!)
Like with Verve's "Bitter Sweet Symphony" all over the Opel commercials
(in Europe) and .. hmm, was it Ford in the US? Lush in the Volkswagen
dito and ... well, there's too many. In Sweden this is pretty new tho'.

Hi!
Our computer has been f-d up again, but now it's back on track. And so
is Fidget!
It's now official about Fidget getting in to the pop family of Silence
(featuring Bob Hund and Fint Tillsammans).
The new record will be recorded in Koppom in aug/sep, hopefully. One of
their new songs "Out of the blue" can be heard at a coming Silence promo
CD, out on Hultsfred - and Silence have promised to give it away to as
many nice people as possible at the festival. So be there!
It is one of Fidgets best songs out of their two latest demos recorded
by Kalle Gustavsson (Soundtrack of Our Lives).
So long Mr Hong (a very huge but cute elephant I met a year ago)
/Johanna
