If you got nothing better to do you might as well watch me teaching the reporter how to do the waltz. This is it.
I am a singer and producer living in Stockholm, Sweden. The songs here are from my second album, The Second Waltz, released in march 2007. As a producer/engineer I have collaborated with Thåström, Stefan Sundström, Hederos/Hellberg, Weeping Willows, Ane Brun amongst others. I..ve also had the pleasure of touring with some of these lovely people.
This will probably be the last physical album I make. The record industry is singing on it..s last auto tuned chorus and I cant afford nor do I want to support it..s remaining greed anymore. The future will most likely be downloadable.
I..ve been dreaming of a music poisoned by opiates and temptation and though these songs took only two days to record the making up of such a sound took a slight bit longer.
best !

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/6/2005
Band Members: Sometimes :
Ossler - guitar
Andreas Söderström - guitar
Valdemar Asp - bass
Christian Gabel - drums
Always :
Tomas Hallonsten - piano
Influences: Lately I´ve been mostly influenced by the growing anger of the destruction of my home town, Stockholm. They´ve chopped it up and sold it off piece by piece, so now only rich people in the advertising business can afford to live there. All the weird uneven people has been driven out by men with golden handshakes. There is WAY too many golf bags being lifted in and out of city-jeeps in town nowadays.Apart from that I would say the first thing that pops to mind is spanish wine (Rioja) , food with lots of chili in it. The Gun Club, Trailer Bride, Neko Case, Craig Schumacher and Mattias MacHellburger. Mythological visions of Copenhagen at night, The STOOGES, Enfrente Arte Hotel in Ronda. Drinking in bars with quiet men, dance-school.Let´s see now, eeh, well Johnny Cash... I can´t think of anything more ! Let´s just say everything with some stamina to it !
Sounds Like: dunno, maybe like a combination of mum and dad ?
