    Tomorrow!

    A lot of things going on right now...

    And later tonight, there will be some pictures and video clips from Varberg posted here!

    Pipas + Mattias Björkas in Varberg tomorrow!


    Yeah, thanks to Nina and Larry, there will be a Pipas show in Varberg tomorrow!
    Mattias Björkas from Cats On Fire will also play! He's never played on his own before, so it'll be exciting.

    Rough Bunnies, Bare Knees and G.O.O.F. to play at Cosy Den!

    I've got fantastic news for you!

    I just got the sms which said the coast is clear. The Thursday right before Christmas, there will be a great party at Underjorden. At least three great concerts, perhaps more. I feel like arranging a couple of nights at a smaller scale, and what could be better than the foyer? Since it's pretty small, the pre-booking system will be used.

    For those of you who've just joined us, this means you send an e-mail to me at popen_maste_do@hotmail.com, with your name and your social security number. You can send the name of a friend if you want, but not two. I'll reply to confirm that I've recieved your booking. And then you just show up at the entrance, tell us your name, and that's all! I'll keep you updated about the number of places left, at the top of this page.

    For the 21st, one houndred people will have the opportunity to come. So hurry up and e-mail me if you want to be one of them!

    And the artists are...

    ROUGH BUNNIES

    Oh, what to say? The Rough Bunnies are related to so many of my favourite acts. Lesbo Pig, All Of My Brother's Girlfriends, The Flame, Inside Riot, Euer Bester Sommer... Anna and Frida write the loveliest songs, sometimes with a twist of desperation and sadness, or even happiness. But always with hope and strength. I'm really excited about this, finally it's happening! Rough Bunnies at Cosy Den!

    Thanks!

    Yesterday was great!
    A special thanks to the bands for being so helpful and cool about the mess that occured after I discovered that all of the sound equipment was hidden very carefully in a dark room...
    And I'd also like to thank Johan, Siri, Åsa, Tove, Ola, Emil, Johannes, Mattias B, Jon, Madelene, Agnes and everyone else who helped making it work.

    For those of you who can read Swedish - Jerry Boman's review of the night is right here.
