Hello again.
Here comes some tour dates for a band called Disgrace. They
are from Finland. Music - ah well, kind of power-guitar-rock i quess,
early-Motorhead-style maybe. But more hooks and riffs. Just enjoyable.
They have just released a new CD, called 'If you are looking for trouble...'
via Metamorphos-label.
Other Finns - any comments on Disgrace?
Well the dates so far,

Subject: Lollipop bands
A few of the bands that are to play at this years Lollipop festival in
Stockholm (July 24th & 25th) were presented yesterday. The "big ones" so
far are Bernard Butler, PULP and JESUS & MARY CHAIN. Other artists booked
so far are Eagle-Eye Cherry, MONTROSE AVENUE, GOMEZ and ARAB STRAP (the
last one of those is the most interesting band so far, IMO. But I can
probably not afford going there this year anyway).
More info at www.lollipop.se
/Micke, awaiting a festival-free summer (except perhaps for the Nykvarn
festival in Linkoping) unless if some kind soul gives me tickets for free,
that is ;)

Attention all listees:
I'm planning on making the quintessential Swedish Indiepop mix tape, from
twee- to power-. But I need your help. I've got a long list of potential
groups, and a shorter list of CDs that I actually have access to right now.
Any recommendations on bands not listed, or any specific track
recommendations are gladly appreciated. Likewise, I think I've done a pretty
good job of scouring the various mailorder outfits for the Swedish pop CDs
that are actually available in the US, but if you have any insider info on
how I can get hold of some of these other Sweden-only discs, I'd like that
too.
The contenders (in no order at all):
Cloudberry Jam

Subject: Norwegian indie adventures in Latvia
The Norwegian indie adventures in the Latvian woods.
Hi.
Here comes the tale of Norwegian indie compilation (CD-R) adventures
here in lv.
So, I received this CD-R at April 9th and in the pre Easter rush, I
didn't manage to give CD to Pçteris P. (good mate of mine and the host of
alternative and indie music show called "P*N" on Latvian national radio 2
(broadcasting all over Latvia), but I did it in this week at April 16th
and the playlist for all Latvia was (in order):
ASTROBURGER "Compromise Solutions"
DIPSOMANIACS "Kill Some Day"
MOTORPSYCHO "Like Always"
HOBBITS "Oblyga Tjejer"
SEIGMEN "Metropolis"
BEL CANTO "Unicorn"
I've copied 1 unit for myself and I sent the CD right away to guy from
Czechia. I kept this CD for 1 week and 1 day, hope you don't kill me.
And now my personal review/opinions about Norwegian bands:
MOTORPSYCHO - they're great, the best on this comp. They remind me
PAVEMENT. And the song "Like Always" is the cool.
To what label MOTORPSYCHO is signed? And how to contact them? (I have
some ideas --- they could come to Rîga)
BEL CANTO - sweet, mellow pop. I like them. Have they released any LP
since 1992?
ASTROBURGERS - good enough.
About other bands - they weren't bad, but I haven't say anything, they
just simply hadn't touched any string of my soul.
That's in brief all.
See you in the next level.

Yes two albums. Magic Box, 1995 and Rush 1998. Shimmering is their
best though. And the album previous to Shimmering called Birds Of
Passage is also very good, indeed.

My personal faves are Motorpsycho and Dipsomaniacs.

The festival was held at Grand, which is a youth club sort of thing, run by
the local council. Normally, the have discos with great attendance and rock
concerts with hardly any atendance. Sudents wouldn't be caught dead in a

Acid House Kings on the net
For those of us who like the more twee-ish edge of the Swedish
indie pop scene, Acid House Kings must be mentioned among the
very best. Good news then that they have their own homepage
on the Shelflife label site! Their pages also contain info
on the related bands Semester, Sunshine Boys, Red Sleeping
Beauty, Poprace, Starlet and Club 8. Check it out and listen
to the beautiful 'This And That' from their CD "Advantage Acid
House Kings": http://www.shelflife.com/acidhousekings/
+++
Doris Days Finally Celebrated
When label Some Pearls (Slask Records) released Doris Days'
debut album "Live In Poland" at the end of 1996, nothing
really happened - apart from a couple of really good reviews
in papers, magazines and fanzines. And from online media
(which we won't mention) "I have not heard something this
beatutiful and addictive from Sweden in a long time." who
rightfully labelled their music "urban trip-hop" and who
also spread the word and the music around the globe. Now
almost two years later and through a licence deal in Japan,
the Brits have been awakened. The single "To Ulrike M." re-
released two months ago on British label Dorado including
three new remixes is included in play lists on both UK and
Swedish radio these days - and the mentioned 12" received
the "12-inch of the week" award on P3 Dans recently. A new
(really new) single is on the way, but will not be released
until autumn. Until then, why not dig out Doris Days' first
single "Places" - released on BarnsligaSkivor/Some Pearls
in 1993? Or their very first release ever "Cricket Buddhist"
a 9-song cassette released on BarnsligaSkivor 1992.
More info: Slask Records - http://www.algonet.se/~slask/
Swedish Morning paper "Svenska Dagbladet" published an article
about the band on friday last week - read it here (in Swedish):
http://www.svd.se/svd/city/musik/doris.html.
+++
Dryad receives award
Unsigned Stockholm-based rockers Dryad which you possibly have
read about here (if not, check out the interview in the "Interviews"
section on the Sin site) are starting to get the attention they
deserve with well attended gigs in central Stockholm as a result.
The band also received the Kulturhuset / Lava Demotek ("Culture
house" sort of) in Stockholm "demo of the winter" award, and will
make their festival debut at the Mera Hitlatar festival in
Handen (outside Stockholm) this summer. If you have a chance,
check out the next issue of the magazine "Chili" where they
are featured. And if you want to see them play live in the near
future, Cage (in Gamla Stan in Stockholm) on wednesday is their
next stop.
+++
gusGus are on the move
Icelandic gusGus (4AD), along with designer Linda B. Arnadottir,
introduced their first collection of clothing called Product
for "Cry Lab" (fashion company managed by the band) at the
world Art Fair Expo '98 in Portugal in February. The Icelandic
government selected the band to represent Iceland at the event.
This first collection will be introduced in Paris from October
98. On the music side, the band recently completed the song
"Monument" for the untitled Depeche Mode tribute album, which
is to be released in April on A&M's 1500 Records. They are
about to remix tracks for David Byrne, Underdog and the upcoming
Bjork single "Hunter" (to be released in June), though which
tracks has yet to be decided. gusGus own and new second album
will be out in September. A tentative title has been revealed
to be "Treasures In Lava" and the album will contain about 10
songs. The first half has been entrusted to Herr Legowitz for
the drum kits, samples and loops, while the rest will be mixed
by Biggi and Steph. Movie-news: The song "Gun" is on the
soundtrack for the film "Suicide Kings" starring Christopher
Walken. The group is now working on a new song for the Ben
Stiller film "Permanent Midnight". And finally, video-news:
The next gusGus video will be "Barry" (now in post-production
in London).
+++
Komeda on tour + new video
Celebrated NONS popsters Komeda are on the road in Sweden at
the moment. On thursday they are back for the second (third?)
time in Linkoping at Herrgar'n, but if you don't live there,
they do play in Malmo two days later. 23/4 Linkoping and
25/4 Malmo that is. A new video is on the way as well - this
time it's to the song "Cul de Sac".
+++
Leslies reveal name of US label
Swedish sooth-popsters Leslies who were previously reported
(see older news updates) to be on the way to release a 7"
single called "That's Me" in the US have now revealed the
name of the label: "American Pop Project", which is run by
Mel Chaplowitz. No word yet if the band will have to change
their name on it or not (see older news for info on this).
+++
Dorian Records
The planned indie double CD compilation which was to be released
in December last year never happened, as you probably noticed.
Now news dropped in today directly from the label owner Roger
which said that he is still (!) trying to put together a compilation
(or two actually) - one twee-pop and one 'regular' indie-pop.
So here we go again! :-) More information is on the way.

P3 Pop Monday 27/4
Swedish National Radio channel P3 on monday between 19.03-22.00

er, well...imho they are well worth going to going to see, maybe if
not so much for the music itself, but for the a-bomb high factor of
"fun", "charm" and "ass-whopping rock'n'roll", complete with karate
kicks, tons of pure infectious energy and truckloads of bad mannors
and cool attitude. i saw them open for jon spencer last spring and,
needless to say, i couldn't help but enjoy getting my ass kicked. :)

Subject: Record stores in copenhagen
Is there anyone from Copenhagen, who can give me some tips for my visit in
Copenhagen. I'm interested in good record stores; meaning not Fona 2000
etc. I'm especially interested in stores selling bootlegs or cheap second
hand cds.
By the way: does anyone know if there exists a bootleg cd from Suede's gig
in Copenhagen, valbyhallen 961025? If there is; where can I buy it?
Thank you so much.

Subject: Happydeadmen definitely dead (as a band, at least)
A quite sad peace of news has showed up on the Benno website today
(www.benno.com). HAPPYDEADMEN has decided to call it quits after ten years
and three albums. The last album, "Bullfights every sunday", has still only
been released in Japan. Hopefully a Swedish release of that album is on its
way too.

Sad news indeed - they really represented what was so great about the late
80's early 90's even today. "Bullfights Every Sunday" is a gorgeous album,
so hopefully it'll get released, but when Ola Hermanson is in the US
leaving Trampolene to it's destiny, who knows what'll happen?
By the way - I got a postcard (snail mail) from Cirkus Cirkor (!)
today where they asked about addresses to festivals - but apparently
they don't have e-mail. Does anyone here have any contact with the
group? I really don't want to use snail mail if I don't have to...
