Mattias / Cosy Den

You know I hate every pop star that I ever met

About Me

My name is Mattias, and I live in Bergsjön on the outskirts of Gothenburg, Sweden where I'm trying to provide an alternative to the downtown nonsense. Anywhere along tram line 7 or 11 is great, but I've got my favourite spots. The old cinema in Gamlestan is a fantastic space and I'm grateful I get to use it at times.The club is called Cosy Den .Below the bands and artists that have performed at the club so far.At home:Cats On Fire (fin), Le Futur Pompiste (fin), Las Palmas, Aggro, Mattias Alkberg, Robert Svensson, A Hawk And A Hacksaw (us), Laurel Music, We Are Soldiers We Have Guns, All Of My Brother's Girlfriends, Thehelpmeplease, Viking Moses (us), Jana Hunter (us), Mats Jonsson, Springfactory, Sibiria, Suburban Kids With Biblical Names, Paddington Distortion Combo, Eurosport, Ludwig Landström, Nixon, Dorotea, Agent Simple, Compute, Slack-O, SmakElsewhere:White Town (uk), Vapnet, Erik de Vahl, Kattmusik, Co-Ed, Dialog, Henrik Bromander, Fibi Frap, Don Lennon (us), Erik Halldén, Robotnicka (fr), Robot Cowboy (us), Samarbetssvårigheter, Jens Lekman, Hospitalet, Company Fuck (aus), Great Lakes (us), Gary Olson of Ladybug Transistor (us), The Mare, The Bobby McGee's (uk), The Budgies, Oh!

My Interests

Music, politix, Hammarby, friends, beer.

I'd like to meet:

Not sure yet. But I'm always open for proposals from people wanting to play around Gothenburg. Someone mentioned the word "networking" to me the other week, I'm not sure if I like the sound of it (I should never have touched that "top friends" thing, for a start), but hey, I'll try anything twice.

Music:

Right now:
Hartmans - Svenska mördare EP
Tidy Ups - Dizzy heights EP
Don Lennon - Routine LP
Erik de Vahl - Friendly fire LP
Dialog - ...and our name is EP
Denim - Back in denim LP
Ivor Cutler - 1969 Peel sessions
and a lot more

Movies:

I can't go to the cinema. I'm always afraid I'll have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the film. And also, my knowledge about film is so crap that it's almost like a social handicap. But a couple of films i like are: ID, Fucking Åmål, Quadrophenia... sorry, I don't know of more movies.

Television:

Well, some. Mostly the channels owned by our government.

Books:

Not a lot of fiction. And what is the opposite called? Here, we say fackböcker. I like to read maps and feminist litterature.

Heroes:

I like losers:
