About Me

Songwriter and singer/guitarist of Swedish pop-band The Flaming Moes. Born and raised in Swedish small-town, always being a small person in a big world. Writes songs about weird and morbid love, disturbing (sometimes deranged) human beings, and money. Plays piano, guitars, mandolin, melodica and more. Only sings when forced to, except when drunk. Talks too much sometimes, and can't seem to get one word out of the mouth sometimes. Too lazy to shave beard off sometimes...

Rules are made for...

...yes. And so I shut up. I work for the money, I might say. But it's not true. But I should. And I don't. I do it for something else. Usually. Now I don't know.

I missed my guitar.

I know... It used to belong to someone else. But I still miss it sometimes. And it's not been mine very long. I still missed it. Now I played it today. It makes such beautiful melodies, all by itself....

turné 3

Sista veckan blev så klart bäst. Vilken vecka! Glossop söndag. Galet. Som förmodat. Men lite värre. Det slutade med allsång till Bohemian Rapsody och sen "sov" vi i baren. Birmingham på måndag. Hmmm.....

turné 2

Vecka 2 snart avverkad. Lite sämre vecka faktiskt. Dåligt med folk på ett par av spelningarna och massa krångel med allt möjligt. I Hull var spelningen avbokad (fick vi reda på efter 20 mil i bilen di...

turné

Första veckan avverkad och det har varit helt ok. Första två spelningarna var vi andreas-lösa och jag fick spela piano eftersom jag inte är tillräckligt bra gitarrist för att fylla upp det tomma hålet...
