SUNDSVALL
10 days ago we had to cancel a gig in Avesta because of a bankrupcy.
We got a new gig in sundsvall instead.
With lack of time to promote the gig and alot of other arrangements in town we got nervous.
It went pretty well after all!!
About 500 people came to see us tonight. that´s not bad at all.
We had a great party afterwards and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Stadshuset for their great support and service.
You guys are awesome and you do a great job! See you soon.
That goes for all of ya!

FALUN
Back in Falun again.
I remember a long time ago when we played here.
We got here in a white Mazda 626 and it wasn´t comfortable at all.
We also got a flat tire on the car and it was quite a trip!
This time we arrive in our beautiful Bus.
No flat tires and a whooole lot more comfort.
That´s why the bus is our backstage area this gig... the local we´re playing in is freeeeezing and the backstage area is almost non-existent.
We do a soundcheck before we get to our hotel in Borlänge!
After dinner we just hang out on our rooms.
There´s time for a couple of beers and a bloody mary before we have to get back to magasinet in Falun.
The local is still freezing. damn.
Plan Three tries to warm things up but it´s a mission impossible. They do a good job trying at least.
So, it´s time for us to get up on stage...
The intro is rolling... the crowd is screaming... then there is... NOTHING!
Mattias guitaramp gave up. it is dead.
Our backlinetechnician restarted it and it´s alive again.. thank God.
2 tracks later it´s time for my guitaramp to give up!!
The worst thing is that mine dosen´t come back to life!?
We have to take in "THE OTHER ONE"... it works too but the sound is pretty far from the real deal if you know what I mean.
So here we are.. broken amps and freezing nuts!
I wanna come back to Falun and show them what we´re all about but it will have to be in the summertime because I want to keep my balls.

ANOTHER HEART ATTACK!
Yeah... it´s like one month or so...
Someone must really like us since were here again right?
It´s ok, we like Gävle.
Fact is that the last time we played here alot of people couldn´t see us because the place was filled up within one hour.
There was KAOS you might say.
I guess you could say this is a extra concert for those who didn´t make it the last time.
Well...
We´re hangin out by the pool on the hotel. We eat some sushi and then it´s time to rock.
It wasn´t as much Kaos this time... it worked just fine. We even got up on stage in time. ha ha.
I hope you guy´s enjoed yourself and remember to send me pictures from the gig if there is any!! ok?
Bye for now

ENKÖPING
This must be like the fifth or sixth time we play in Enköping.
The first time we palyed here it was at a club called "Svarta Maja".
(That was also a candidate for the smallest stage ever by the way)
Before the gig it´s relaxingtime in the pool area of the hotel and then we head on to a private gathering.
Our friends Bea and Lasse is having a party for some friends and of course we´re invited! (thanx guys!)
We stay here for an hour or so before we have to leave for the gig.
This time (like the past 3 or 4 times) we played at a place called Joar Blå. The number of people in the crowd has increased since that first time on Svarta Maja and tonight there´s over 1200 people here. Good shit.
It´s hotter than hell up on stage and it looks to me that none of you guys in the audience were freezing either.
There´s some energy in the air tonight and it´s another explosive preformance both from us, the band and you, the crowd. Thank you for your support!!
So until the next time... take care.
See ya.

GISLAVED
Back in Gisleparken.
Dinner, bowling and gig.
It´s a good stage and just like the last time we were here, it´s a good crowd.
We play for one hour and there´s action right from the start.
I saw some girls getting squeezed against the securityfence and it didn´t look too comfortable.
I really hope you made it thru the gig alright!?

BORÅS
The last time we played in Borås, the stage was 4 meters wide and 3 meters deep.
I belive that still holds the record for the smallest stage we´ve ever played on.
This time we´re playing in a place called X o Y.
Someone says it´s an old churchlocal. It´s a much better stage anyway.
We´re staying at comfort hotel jazz which is a decent hotel.
Wall to wall with the hotel is a small restaurant/pub and all the hotelguests eat their breakfast here. We learned that the female version of Satan works here.
I couldn´t see her horns but I´m pretty sure she had a tail!
She was, by far, the grumpiest lady we´ve ever encountered.
Much much better however was the place for tonight´s dinner.
We ate at a place called Zeus.
It´s a delicious Greek restaurant with tasty food and cute personnel.
I ate a squid for starter. It looked like a rubberballoon but I assure you it tasted alot better.
However, I highly recommend this place.
XoY is sold out tonight and the manager is amazed that there´s a line outside 2 hours before the place opens.
It have never happened before he says.
This is a good sign.
When we´re up on stage later this night I can only say that Borås has the loudest audience we´ve had so far!! Wonderful!!
The room we play in has 2 floors so it´s a bit tricky to get a good sound in here but I hope it came out alright.
We had another good gig and I wouldn´t mind coming back here again.
Thanx a bunch.
Oh, I got to write this conversation I had with a man in a kiosk regarding a interview I did in Borås tidning.
It was Saturday and I was looking for Fridays copy where the interview was supposed to be.
Anyway. here it is:
-hey man, do you by any chance sell "Borås tidning"?
- Well... no, not today.
- OK not today you say but do you have yesterdays copy?
- No, I get it tomorrow...
I rest my case.

HELL...SING...BORG
Helsingborg is a beautiful place indeed and The Tivoli is a perfect club for rock.
Since the last time we were here they´ve made the stage bigger and now it´s actually good.
We ate some Indianfood and some of us had to meassure the size of their "cojones" by ordering the strongest food on the menu... resulting in long fiery visits on the toilet. ha ha.
Luckily they had some cold beers to cool down the tounge with right?
Half past 9 and it´s showtime.
The place is packed with a beautiful crowd.
Halfway through the gig someone must have crapped their pants!
The smell of shit is everywhere!! I feel sorry for that poor fellow anyway.
It´s a good gig and the crowd is singing loud. we love it!!
Is it ok with you if we come back here some day?

GOTHLAND
We took a motocrosscrowded boat over to Visby and Gutekällaren.
It´s actually our 3:rd time on this little island in the south and I must say that I prefer Visby in the summertime.
As usual we get a nice welcome with tasty dinner, cold beverage and some damn fine looking hotelrooms.
It´s a warm and crowded Gutekällaren that lies before us this evening.
The atmosphere is pleasant and it looks like this could be very fun.
It is.
Another good gig and another fantastic crowd.
Thanx for letting us preform here again and hopefully we´ll be back once again!?
