But I regret that. Some people, who did see them, used expressions such as "the best and most intelligent Swedish-lyrics hip-hop we've ever heard". Dunno if there is much competition in the "Swedish-lyrics hip-hop" genre but it sure sounded interesting. (Speaking of Swedish hip-hop: Damned! I missed BLACK MOSES too. Great single they have out, IMO). > Smartalec(Malmo/L.A.) I missed the first ten minutes of this one, mainly because my friend needed 15 minutes to walk from the backstage area to the demo stage - something I would have made in less than five minutes without him. Anyway, what I did see and hear was great. Boogie-shuffle rock n' roll with some ska and, perhaps, soul influences. Or perhaps just "pre-party music" to quote guitarist Micke II himself (Hi Micke! ;) ). Nice visual appearance too. Bianca does not only have a great voice but also a presence, on stage, that few people on this (and higher!) levels have. > Revolvo(Malmo) Loud, somewhat country-influenced, rock music. Kinda the same tradition as LOOSEGOATS, I think. Not bad at all, even if they didn't make a very deep impression on me. Btw, they also did a cool, unplugged, gig at the Ettnollett garden party earlier on saturday. FINT TILLSAMMANS (melancholy guitar-pop with Swedish lyrics about everyday life) did a more plugged, but equally cool, gig in the same garden that day. (Btw, were any other list subscribers at that party. I couldn't know, 'cause I don't recognize that many of you). > Honeysuckle(Sthlm) I liked this! Slow, melancholy and gorgeous trip-hop. Rather minimalistic: a few sound samples, a drum machine, a bass guitar, scratching and vocals but no "big" sound walls. Perhaps the (female) vocalist's voice could have been more suggestive, but that is the only complaint I have. All in all, it was a quite nice festival. But I was very selective about which bands to see. I don't think I watched more than 10-12 full concerts, which is about one day's festival consumption for me in normal cases. HEADRILLAZ really blew my head, or at least my ear-drums, off with their heavy guitar-riff based adrenaline-techno. LARRY & THE LEFTHANDED were even more eccentric than the last time I saw them, but they were just as good this time (One reviewer claimed that their gig was "very Finnish" ;) ). And GRAND TONE MUSICs beautiful hammond organ melancholy was the perfect way to end the festival. But the best two gigs, IMO, happened during the first day: 16 HORSEPOWER were just as amazing as I had expected and LUNA were simply magnificient too. Apart from BLACK MOSES I just regret missing SATORs backstage gig and BOB HUND. And that I, as usual, was too tired to spend more time at the Gyro stage. > And weren't we lucky about the weather!! Today it's raining cats and dogs > here in Blekinge. Heh yeah! The rain poured down the day before I went to Hultsfred and it poured down again the day after I left. I have been to seven Hultsfred festivals but never seen a rain drop.

Bad luck to miss the 1994 festival! Verve's gig there that year is one of the best gigs I've ever seen. And it was also the year I "discovered" bob hund - a fantastic show, even though Thomas had to jump with his leg in a package. ;) //Erik ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 00:42:09 +0200 From: Erik Soderstrom Subject: [LIST] Music on the Radio [22-Jun-98] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scandinavian Indie MUSIC ON THE RADIO Scandinavian Indie June 22 -> 28, 1998 by Erik Soderstrom SWEDEN Day Date Artist Recorded --- ----- --------------------------------- -------------------------------- Mon 22/6 Covenant Goteborg, Karen 04-Apr-98 (SEMA) Tue 23/6 Sorten Muld (R) Arvika, Festival -97 Wed 24/6 Friend Goteborg, Nefertiti 28-May-98 Thu 25/6 Brick Lulea, Ebeneser 27-Mar-98 Sun 28/6 * Entombed (R) Hultsfred, Festival -97 NORWAY Day Date Artist Recorded --- ----- --------------------------------- -------------------------------- Sun 28/6 Motorpsycho + Thee Ultra Bimboos Stavanger-Folken 98 N, Eurospotting 98 D This list covers the Swedish National Channel P3's "Live" - at 21.03-22.00 or 17.03-18.00 where marked with a '*' _PLUS_ The Norwegian National Channel Petre's "Roxrevyen" - at 21.03-00.00 every sunday.

EM have signed a publishing deal with MCA and I for one have had the opportunity to listen to their marvellous demo. IMO EM is the best unsigned band we have right now and I think it will only take seconds before they are upp there among the stars. The music, I think, will do perfectly with both angst-ridden 16 yearolds and fans of pop music on the serious side. Vote for EM.

I remember you played it when we were visiting a month or two ago. It was the first (and only) time I heard them, but I remember I liked the vocals a lot. Don't they have some sound samples on the net somewhere? //Erik P.S. Daniel - time to schedule a meeting in sunny Denmark?

Darn! I guess I should have paid more attention to the concert. It feels as if I have been very close to something really great, and missed it. As has been mentioned earlier, I THINK that the shows will be published in Realaudio on either www.rockparty.se or http://www.depot.musiclink.se/. I don't think they publish all the shows, but perhaps a little bit of Em slips through. I tried to search Altavista for their name, but its very Internet- unfriendly (the name). All I know now is that there are a lot of songs with the chord E-minor (hm, could that be where their name is taken from - perhaps it should be pronounced "E Minor" in stead of "Emm"?

Why? Because as a regular festival goer (i.e. one that actually pays for an expensive ticket, thereby helping the organisers to keep afloat) you miss half of the fun these days. So many events, parties, promotion gigs, etc are going on in the backstage area, to which the majority of dedicated music fans don't have access. At some point I read a column by Hakan Waxegard at the Lollipop website, where he talked about his favourite moments at the first Lollipop festival. Well, wouldn't you believe that his fondest memories were when he strolled down the backstage area, going from party to party where people from media and the music business, as well as various wannabees and hangarounds, are scratching (stabbing?) eachother's backs. Honestly, this makes me sick. I'm sure that if the committee behind Lollipop were not giving away so many VIP or press passes, and actually made people pay for going, they wouldn't have a problem with coughing up the money for Aerosmith. Quite frankly, I can confess that I secretly smiled when Lollipop folded. It's not that I'm feeling envy or anything, I know enough of people in showbiz to be able to get backstage access if I wanted to... I just feel anger because these festivals become more segregated for each year. Oh well, sorry if my diatribe bored or offended anyone. Soon I'm off again to the "drug ship" M/S Stubnitz, where there's a festival happening for people who care about music and performances as a unique art form... and consequently, media are either neglecting or scandalizing the events there. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 13:38:16 +0200 From: Mats Larsson Subject: Re: A short report from the Demostage @ Hultsfred Marten Sahlen wrote: > care that much for Hultsfred anymore, and why I instinctively detested > Lollipop from the beginning.

Well, the garden party thing was actually open for anyone who knew about it. Though not many people *did* know about it, because the organizers didn't really go and shout it out. The reason why it wasn't advertised more was that it was held in an area where people actually have their homes and they would probably not enjoy having a huge crowd of people next to their own gardens. About the backstage area - this was the first time ever I had access to it and, frankly, I wasn't impressed. Just a bunch of people being drunk (OK, a lot of these drunk people were more famous than the drunk people in front of the stages but still - watching drunk people lost its tiny amount of charm many years ago). But I can understand that it must offend some people that such a popular band like SATOR only plays for a very limited audience. That is the only backstage gig I know about but I probably missed a few "happenings" too. But I wouldn't say that such a big piece as *half* of the fun goes on backstage. Just my opinion, of course. About the "helping the organisers to keep afloat" comment: I dunno, would festival organisers really give away tickets if they didn't think it would help them keep afloat? /Micke ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 13:44:00 +0100 From: "Abbott, Daniel, ABBOTTD7" Subject: Re: M/S Stubnitz Martin Sahlen wrote: "Oh well, sorry if my diatribe bored or offended anyone.

M/S Stubnitz is a ship that used to belong to the fishing fleet in the former DDR. It was then rebuilt and turned into a unique venue, a platform for cross- cultural events, which for several years has been a meeting point for avantgarde artists within music, theatre, performance art, etc. Normally this boat is located in Rostock, Germany, but was invited to Stockholm over the summer, as part of the city's appointment to European Cultural Capitol for 1998. Upon the arrival, the customs made a massive two-day search of the ship and its crew, and managed to come up with a minor find: 5 grams of cannabis and some weapons that are legal abroad but not in Sweden. For this shocking crime, the boat was fined 900 SEK (comparable to a parking ticket) which was promptly payed. Still this was enough for the evening tabloids to blow up the incident with headlines as if WW3 had broken out. This was over two weeks ago, and ever since the persecution from various authorities has continued. Certain politicians and officers within the police have set their mind on closing down the boat, and the activities going on there. The "rave commission", a special command within the Stockholm police attempting to thwart the drug traffic at raves and techno clubs, has made unfounded razzias on a couple of occasions, and enforced the cancellation of a concert last weekend. Why they compare Stubnitz with a rave club - when it is a concert venue - is beyond me. The ship has still not gotten a license to sell alcohol, which means they're losing incredible amounts of money that they had calculated with. The organisation arranging the music festival onboard, of which I am part, also lose money because some people hesitate to come when they can't drink beer. And not to mention all the door money we lost when we had to cancel last weekend. Over the course of time there have been features in local news reports on TV that generally were very negative, and in newspapers you have seen letters from "concerned parents" demanding the closing of the ship. Ironically, everyone coming to the concerts have been totally amazed by this one-of-a-kind venue, and the biggest newspaper here (DN) has featured three rave reviews of concerts on the boat. Still, in the eyes of Joe Bloggs on the street, Stubnitz is a boat loaded with drugs and weapons where kids are introduced to various illegal activities. Of course all this is disastrous for the boat and its international reputation, and may as well be their financial ruin if they aren't allowed to sell beer soon. I'm so proud of being Swedish... Of course all this boils down to that some people sitting in important positions fail to fathom what is going on there. What they can't grasp is very threatening, thus they come down hard on it. Yes, what's happening on Stubnitz is unique for Sweden, a similar manifestation for experimental forms of art never happened before, and this uniqueness is acknowledged by everyone taking a serious interest in cultural matters. Unfortunately, so far this acclaim hasn't helped much to re-shape the way that certain authorities perceive the boat -- they seek confrontation rather than a dialogue -- and I can tell you it is most frustrating. The nazis during WW2 coined the term "entartete kunst" (degenerate art) for art that didn't adhere to their aesthetical values... well, the crew on Stubnitz as well as the Swedish festival organisers have found out the hard way that this phenomenon is not just a thing of the past. I guess you can say that a lot of the music are "crazy experimental sounds"... noise, ambience, post/space rock, free jazz, dark folk, minimalistic techno, are some of the genres represented. Check out http://www.flashback.net/~nursery/ for the full program, info about the artists, and the latest news concerning all this turmoil. I guess it is very thislisty to mention that tomorrow night Norway's answer to Merzbow, Lasse Marhaug Band, is giving a concert. It is not unusal that their shows end up with fist-fights between the members, and that they're rolling around naked on stage, nibbling each other's genitals. Eat your heart out, Antoin Artaud... Or to paraphrase Shakespeare, it's going to be a "midsummer's noise dream". Hope this helps... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 17:33:00 +0100 From: "Abbott, Daniel, ABBOTTD7" Subject: Re: M/S Stubnitz Marten, what a sad, sad, frustrating story.There are very few things that annoy me about Sweden, but you managed to encapsulate all of them in your fine essay of a reply; namely the seemingly ever-present, almost hysterically paranoid need to keep Sweden "pure" and free of "degenerate" influences from "other places". In many, many, ways Sweden seems so progressive and forward-thinking in lots of important areas (especially compared to the UK) but there's often this undertone of a sort of rampant misinformed conservatism, fear of change, keeping up traditions at all costs... Having said that though, the people I know in Sweden, all connected to music in some way, are wonderfully open-minded and give me constant inspiration, having none of the above negative qualities. So it's a shame to have this mad schizophrenic split. Still, I'm sure it must spur you all on in some ways, yes? No country's perfect and it's always good to have an opposition! Oh well, I love the place anyway and I'd definitely come down to the boat (alcohol or no alcohol) if I was able to, and check out whatever noise terrorism is happening down there. Cheers and thanks for the ton of info! - Dan - who's never ever been to a gig on a boat and feels he's missing out. ---------- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Jun 1998 03:17:06 +0200 From: Erik Soderstrom Subject: [LIST] Music on the TV [19-Jun-98] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Scandinavian Indie MUSIC ON THE TV Scandinavian Indie June 19 -> 25, 1998 by Erik Soderstrom Day Date Artist/What TV Program Channel Time --- ----- ---------------------- ------------------- ----------- ----- Fri 19/6 Music magazine The Pepsi Chart Kanal 5 19.30 Sat 20/6 Hultsfred Festival 98 Festival special MTV Europe 13.00 MTV Live MTV Live MTV Europe 22.00 R Sun 21/6 Hultsfred Festival 98 Festival special MTV Europe 13.00 John Fogerty Special SVT 1 19.30 Mon 22/6 - Tue 23/6 Alternative Nation Alternative Nation MTV Europe 00.00 Wed 24/6 MTV Live MTV Live MTV Europe 18.30 Thu 25/6 Alternative Nation Alternative Nation MTV Europe 00.00 R = Rerun ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is also available on the Scandinavian Indie website at: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~chief/scan.html [Upcoming] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Jun 1998 05:06:31 +0200 From: Elin Subject: Em sound sample Erik asked about Em: > Don't they have some sound samples on the > net somewhere?
