the other side

The friends showing up with their instruments belong to constellations from the past. Used to be a rock band in Iceland, called Lucifer. Höddi was banging the drums, Nonni the guitar and I was playing the bass. Many years later, Nonni, Kristinn (played with Kristinn in Sabina, musical touring around Iceland and later representing Iceland in a Nordic theater festival in Norway, yeh back in 1977) and I started a band in Uppsala, Sweden. Doing some gigs, recording and basically enjoying making a lot of noise. The drummers were coming and going, all leaving their trademarks with us. One of the most original ones was Klas, who used to be a professional jass drummer in the sixties. His traces will newer vanish, swing was his absolute favorite and suddenly our heavy rock sounded as a swing from unspecified age!Physics took more and more of my time and the other guys had other issues to take care of, hence, end of touring. However, the old friends drop by every now and then to strech a string or so.
