Because I'm putting up with your constant whine, and I won't last too long...

About Me

'Lillebror bli inte som jag när du blir stor
Du stod i dörren och sa är det här allt som blir så dör jag
Lillebror bli aldrig som jag...'

'There's a price to be paid for dreaming...'
Hi, my name is Lars, I own the dying Lawnchair Records . I write for Automaton Industries , It's A Trap , write for and assist in the editing of On Tap Magazine , and used write for Prefix . Upon rare occasion I put up examples of my broken ideas and fractured logic on my pretentious and precocious blog .
I used to live with two of my best friends in Trångsund/Stockholm, Sweden... and now I live outside of DC, in the Fairest of Faxes, with one my best friends.
While I was in Sweden I played in two bands with some of the best people I have ever had the privilege of having in my life: the Hope and the Failure and What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas . Kris and Jon, who played in both of these bands with me, have a new project now - Yamon Yamon . Pekka, of his own fame and an integral member of the Vegas collective, is also keeping the rock dream alive with his fantastic new project Oriel Joans .
Check out Kristoffer Öberg's (from Vegas, THATF, and Yamon Yamon) graphic design site - crazy and inspired stuff, somewhat like his bizarre solo project Boys Will Be Bats .
Lawnchair Records (and our extended family):
Lawnchair Family (mp3s / a place to talk shit to our faces)
Pekka Pörtfors (along the lines of Elliot Smith and Josh Rouse)
Devotion to Trust (Stockholm's hardcore future)
When We Fall (the melodies of Jawbreaker, the kick of Give Up the Ghost, but better)
In Memory of Me (hints of Mineral and Thursday, beautiful voice)
the Scare (DC) (punk rock at its finest - for fans of AFI and Lifetime)
A Crude Mechanical (like Styrofoam and the Notwist, but not... you know?)
Iisole (a wonderful combination of the influences of the Pixies and Interpol)
Suffocate for Fuck's Sake (a blending of Sigur Rós with Envy)
