About Me

Tuskaloose started in the fall of 2002 while walking Joakim´s parents dog. The weather and the sea change, mixed with the sun and the multiple beers made it all seem like a natural thing to go ahead with. The bandname was stolen and brutally re-arranged from the Townes Van Zandt song "Waiting around to die" were he sings about "Tuscaloosa bar". Tuskaloose consist of Joakim Svensson and Daniel Svensson. Both dressed in beards and lumberjack shirts. Lately a third member has been added to the group, Johan Hansson, on flaming Bass. The few songs that actually manage to be completed are written by leading members Joakim and Daniel and deal with such topics as death, love, duels, cowboys, heartache, and then some more death. On their last demo they got the chance to play with famous Rock-egg player Åsa Wendin who really lifted up the music of Tuskaloose a noch. "She put the "Halle" in "Luja" the band members says impressed". All members lives in northern sweden and are cousins in both names and blood.

Lou

Lou Barlow har något i rösten som många andra saknar. Jag kan inte beskriva vad det är. Men det gör inget. Jag har ju öron.
