blood, sweat & tears

Another day of rehersals!
The recording is closing in and we want the new songs to sound as good as they get so there is blood, sweat and tears in the air! There´s a couple of changes in the songs and alot of lyrics to write but we´re so anxious to get started now. The new single will be released in a couple of weeks so hang in there! The name of the single is a 4 letter word... if you can guess what it is, you will win my toothbrush. The little drummerboy (Kristoffer) has made us some pasta so I better go now. Bye!

a long time ago...

Monday morning... (yaawn)
It´s been very calm now for a couple of days in the world of Takida.
Good news is that Mattias and Robert is feeling better. I still get the chill when I see that demolished car!

We´re spending this week in Fränsta, rehersing the new material.
Latest news about the studio is 19:th of mars!

Bad News x 2

Bad news No. 1:
I guess most of you have heard it already...
Singer Robert and guitarrist Mattias was involved in a serious carcrash yesterday!
Luckily they both came out of it with abatement damages. Bruises and stiff necks they say. The car was totally smashed in the front. (see picture)

Bad News No.2:
Further delays in the recording of the new album! Producer, Patrik Frisk, is currently working with "melody teacher", Marie Lindberg, causing almost a month delay in our recording scheme. However, the release of the new album is still going to be before the summer so we´ll just have to catch up once we´ve started!
Hopefully this will leave us with some time to write a few extra hits! So maybe there will be something positive out of it after all?

Take care.
Until next time... Seven is the key.

Another Day

According to Patrik Frisk (our producer), the recording will hopefully begin next week!

Mattias spoke with Suomi Finland today regarding our promotour over ther at the end of March. Everything seems nice and we´re anxious to get over there.
However, we already consider ourselves masters of the Finnish language. Here´s a few examples to what we know:
Hirvi aita = Moosefence
Hyvää Päivää = Hello
Pelata Musiiki = Play Music
Juoma = Drink
Olut = Beer
syödä = Eat
Nukkua = sleep
That´s it!! What else is there to learn? =)

Nuthin´ much

Sunday... man it´s boring.
Why couldn´t there be two Saturdays instead?
All you do on Sundays is to stare at the clock wishing there was no tomorrow.
However, I was invited to a nice dinner yesterday. It was called "schlager buffé" with lots and lots of tasty food and beverage. We also played some guitarhero and Buzz. I can´t say that I was too impressed at yesterdays songcontest on the TV but I guess the best songs made it afterall!? Who cares anyway?
I´m taking care of the laundry today... Yes, rockers also have to wash their clothes sometimes. You don´t want to smell like a bunghole right?

I mentioned earlier that I saw "Hannibal Rising" at the movies... A disappointment I must say. I would give it 2 out of 5!

Not much on the Takidafront right now but hopefully we´ll start recording the new album within days.

Hang in there friends!

Friday

Ahhh.. weekends rule!
No rehersal today. Instead we´re working from home. I´m working on a idea for a cover to the new single. It could be pretty cool actually. Did you hear Takida on P3-Live yesterday? I´ve got some cool memories from Yran last year! That´s all for now. I´m off to the movies (hannibal rising). Sleep tight because I know I won´t... he he.

Another one to the bank!

Today we wrote another song. No title on it yet but it´s a nice soft tune with alot of feelings to it. I´m sure you guys will love it! =)
I am sorry to say that I don´t have the exact date for the release of the new single or album but we´re hoping to release the single in March and the album before the summer. However the new T-shirts is closing in and they will be available in the shop within a couple of weeks.

I Got myself some CD´s today... 10 Years, Skillet and 12 Stones. I liked the first two more I must say. well, that´s it for now. I´m the chef today so back to the kitchen... I smell something´s burning!
