Went to see Blowsight for the first time as a all-boyband supporting Degradead who had releaseparty that evening. It was good to see them again:) Never saw Degradead. Said hi to Tintin and went across the street instead, where Triada got this Labelnight event involving a couple of bands and loads of people. Said hi to Ronnie & Mike, dragged Flavia out from there for a coke at McD and took the train home quite early. Tired as hell…
Got a Valentine´s day present today from a couple of old friends…a couple of days late but still.
The former Oz drummer & his wife sent me an original 80´s t-shirt (…or early 90´s…Roll The Dice album is from -91. They found a few in their basement for a while ago. Think these were the last ones they made before the band went down all together…so they never sold any of them. Got a nice card, too…with a nice picture of Edward Persson;) The t-shirt is way too big to wear, but I can always use it as a sleepingbag or something:)
Union Square, also from Falkenberg, supporting Sonic Syndicate.
The best Sonic gig ever!! And I´ve seen a few…
I just heard from Daniel that they did well in Gothenburg too just for a few hours ago…
Too much pics in the blog…couldn´t choose…the rest of them will be up soon. Thank you and goodnight.

Haven´t seen Deathstars since 2006 at Gates of Metal. Not much to say…just one among the best gigs I´ve seen the last year or so…the soundsystem failed once in a while, but overall it was fantastic!
Maybe the fact that I´ve been looping all the Deathstars albums almost exclusively in my Mp3 player the last week helped a bit to really get into the groove;). Lots of photographers! Usually I totally just mind my own business, but this time I really, really envied one no-named person who got to shoot all by himself after we lowlifes had to clear the area in the front (“fotodike” in english, anyone???) after the first three songs.;) Lots of cool stuff happened later in the show…
Definitely NOT extremmetal, but I checked out Damón Zurawski & The Other Flesh with their “Rock-Ompa-Vaudeville-Sideshow”, as they call it, supporting Deathstars at Klubben. I´ve seen them once before and wondered a bit how it would work with the clash of genres and the (mostly) deathglam audience. And it worked brilliantly! Cool gig and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves, both the band and the audience.
TOF got some really cool songs…and Damon got this really cool hat;) Tintin told me that the lights will be difficult and lots of red, but I think they were quite nice. Well…I did shoot at Kafé 44 for a week ago, so in my world every little lamp is a gift.
I´m on my way to fix up The Works pages…here´s some updated stuff:
Decadence, promoshoot -06], Deceiver, photo for various albumcovers w. Erik Tormentor, Marionette, livepics for album Spite -08, Maze of Torment, albumcover Hidden Cruelty -07, Nifelheim, promoshoot -07, Spazmosity , promoshoot -08.
Scourge was a totally new band for me…mostly I noticed the drummer, one mean mf…Have to give them another chance someday.
Angrepp totally ruled!!! Now they really got it! Congrats, guys!!:)
Vörgus NOT in green for the first time in history!!! What´s going on???
They´ve signed on a french label and some hotshot from their recordcompany was even present at the gig. Hope he liked what he saw/heard;) The new material sounds great!GALLERIES: »ANGREPP / » VÖRGUS
