Crimson Shadows

About Me

Read the blog! There will be lotsa info and recollections from a dirty mind there. We just had a band and it's fuckin cool that people still think of our stuff as groundbreaking for the whole garage scene. In some way we understood that already when we started - I mean we had mirrors so we could see that we looked cool haha. And almost everybody hated us in Stockholm so we knew we made an impact. But still...If you wanna get the really cool CD that Inbetweens Records released in 2000, with all 18 studio recordings we did, ya got a direct link here! They still have copies.
For now I'll just say that we existed for little more than a year or maybe two (from late '84 to sometime '86) during which time we released two 45's, made a number of chaotic gigs and raised hell like the teenage misfits we were. The insanity of five persons does not add up to just a 5 on the scale. It was more like 5x5x5x5x5 = 3125 on a scale to 10. Oh well...Anyhow I am playing in The Maggots these days and Jens is playing in The Maharajas. Peter is writing songs all the time but doesn't have a band at the moment. Johan and Henrik has dropped out of playing since many years back. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1
