SXSW is over but I’m still in Austin
Yes, weird isn’t it. It’s been really hectic the last few days and I haven’t found any time to blog but I’ll try to make up for it now. Friday we had a morning gig at Sweden goes South by Southwest. It was really nice on an outside patio, but unfortunatley Sweden has sooo many talanted bands that we only got to play four songs each.
As they only served vegan food on the party, we decided to go and have a real Texas BBQ dinner that night. I had the junior portion but still couldn’t finish it. The guys had the regular portion and DID finish it all, just check out the evidence here:
Saturday we played our last gig at the Sheraton Hotel, which was really nice. We also signed with the American record label Worldsound which we’ve hung out with for the last few days. It’s really exciting and I hope it means you all will see more of me in the US in the future. We finished Saturday night a bit diffrently in the band. I sang a duet with Austrian singer/songwriter Florian Horwath on his set, the guys had some Jack Daniels and Joakim lost his wallet on the snack machine on the hotel (he got it back though, 50 bucks poorer).
This morning the guys packed their things and left early to the airport. I’m feeling very lonely, especially since Jonas left too. I know it’s silly but I already miss him terribly. Tomorrow I’m off to LA to play at a dinner party set up by the Swedish Consulate so that’s why I’m still here in Austin. So my dear friends, more updates to come from LA next!
Awsome gigs today
We had a busy day, 3 gigs and a radio interview AND I got to see Tori Amos (at least the three last songs).
Here’s a small vid from the first gig at Red Gorilla Fest today, the distortion of the sound is from the iPhone, the set sounded just fine live 🙂
Sweden goes SXSW
We had a pretty awful gig last night. It was one of those gigs where you just want to kill yourself the entire time, but try to keep smiling and having a good time anyways. But today the sun is shining and we started fresh with a nice gig on Red Gorilla Fest on 6 street and are now setting up for a private party for the Swedish chamber of commerce. Tomorrow, we’re playing at “Sweden goes SXSW” it’s an open gig so swing by if you’re in the neighbourhood. We’re playing at noon.
This is how fun we had AFTER our gig last night (especially Joakim) I’ll put up some more clips later:
Rocking Toronto!
We had a great gig in Toronto last night. We played at Bread & Circus in Kensington Market, a lovely area that reminded me alot of Ashbury Heights in San Fransisco. Lots of organic food and alternative clothing.
At first we were a bit dissapointed, after the last band had soundchecked for like two hours, we were told to hurry up and got a 10 minute soundcheck. Luckily we’re pretty few and pretty well prepaired so we were ok anyway. The show was great, Jonas played the iPhone, Jocke descended to an old piano in the midst of the audience for “Will you call me when you’re sober” and “Jonestown and Christian was brilliant as always.
The best thing though was to meet so many nice people. Some that I have had contact with via myspace and facebook and a Norweigan artist called Ingrid Olava and her band. I really liked their gig, so check them out! At midnight jetlag set in on me and I had to go back to the studio for some sleep. Not surprisingly the band stayed behind… I really must get better at this rock’n’roll lifestyle!
Here’s a small vid from last nights gig, as Jonas is on stage with us most of the time now, there’s not a lot of live videos but I hope you enjoy this short piece from “Running out of you”.
