the weekend

Yesterday we had a whole day of recordings. Fire is right about done and we have organized for a technition to tune me and Joel's parents grand piano tomorrow, which means that we can finnish "I want this night" this weekend too! The original piano was a bit out of tune and sounded a bit dull. We also took some time yesterday to do some planning and administration related things -always so time consuming.
We will work the entire weekend and will probably get a whole lot done!
Cheers for now,
Markus

late night and long beard

hello again!as you've been told we didn't record that much last week, instead we rehearsed a lot for a concert in kullavikskyrkan last friday.. it was a very nice and interesting evening! we got the oppurtunity to play with one of the finest rockers in town, ebbot from the soundtrack of our lives. he spoke about balance and we played some nice tunes together for example a version of "we'll get by" that would be perfect for a german truck commercial! joel g didn't sing at first, but he caressed the strings of his beloved cello instead to the TSOOL songs. mimmi played the violin. but sometimes people couldn't hear them cause we played too loud, but it was fun anyway. ebbot didn't just sing, he played the churchorgan and the harmonica as well. when ebbot left the stage we continued playing our own songs. and then it was even louder, but it was fun anyway. To sum up, a very nice evening and people got happy! Now it's monday evening and we're having bandmeeting in my (JW) appartement. We gonna finish some lyrics on bullet.. TC and tata! /Joel W

Strings at Kamelen

Hi!
After a week with plenty of rehearsals on both ooc-songs as well as soundtrack of our lives-songs, we didn't record anything this week at all (except for the day before yesterday). I'm well aware of that we haven't been writing anything on our blog for a while and we've been rather busy working. We have tried out different versions on the botanist and continued recording guitars for fire and alternative basslines for a few songs that we might rerecord later on.

Like I said we recorded some things yesterday. Joel G and our sister Mirjam started working on some string arrangements. Mirjam, who is studying violin in Denmark, came home this week and we got the chance to work with her again. Check out the video, it is probably not the version that will appear on the album, but who knows?

Later we will let you know what happened Friday evening in Kullavik!!!

sometimes

I´m working alone today. The other day Joel and I recorded vocals for sometimes and today I sat by the computer all alone and "glued" the sound files together in order to be able to send them to england over the cabel. I took a while I must say, so I´ll probably be able just to start recording some guitar overdubs for fire. Tomorrow Erik Joel and I will continue recording and later Martin and Joel will join us. Our producer seems to like our version of sometimes so it looks like we can move on to the next song (i.e fire) for now!

Saving blue

Me and Erik went to see Saving Blue's last gig at Pustervik yesterday evening. It´s a shame they're breaking up. I got me a nice red SB-logo t-shirt though, it sort of eased the pain a little.

Today JoelG and I are recording some pump organs and vocals and some guitars later on if time is on our side. Maybe we´ll write something more later. tada!

"Kanelbullens dag" is the best day of the year!

Hi there! Well, as said before we have been busy some weeks with a wedding. But now we're rolling again! Some weeks ago wemet up with our producer Jocke and his wife Susanne. We made a schedule for this autumn, so now there are no moreexcuses for not working! We know what to do and we are inspired...! Yes.

We have 16 recorded songs that have been waiting for us to be finished since june. During the next two months we are aiming to compleat at least five of them. For christmas we will have a promo finished. So far the work has gone well! Today I have been recording some guitars on "Sometimes I'm Afraid".They sound so nice, so nice:) As I'm writing I hear Markus recording his guitar in the background...Tomorrow Joelwill be doing some vocals. I'm sure that "Sometimes..." will be our hit!!!

Joel W caught a nasty cold a few daysago. He is at home drinking tea with melon and eating C-vitamin-pills (at least that's what I told him to do when I visited him yesterday!). I'm sure he will recover soon, he is a strongboy-) Okay, 30 minutes ago me, Markus and Joel had a coffea-break (oh no-we're back in our terrible coffee-habits again...). Anyway, we talked about a new song that I wrote some days ago. We have got many songs, and we're writing all the time.Well, on monday next week we will have a rehearsal for a gig at Kullavik the 19th this month and on next thursdaywe will continue recording...We will update you with the latest news so sit back and just relax! bye for now,

Oh, I almost forgot to say that we're so happy that today is "Kanelbullens dag". I've already got my hands on twoof those delicious things...On top of everything it's also another reason for us to drink some more coffee, you know!/Erik M

Another awakening

Hej boys and girls! We are still alive, we didn't stop playing, we just didn't write for a while, but now we are on again with recordings after the summer and the pre-fall. And we are even more motivated than before.. We're gonna have a busy autumn finish the recording the songs, but it's gonna be better and more interesting than before.. Some new creative ideas have emerged along the way.. So you will have something to look forward hopefully, another out of clouds will show up in the beginning of next year.. But until then we'll keep you updated what's going on!
And the photo on the left is from our last show at Sticky Fingers, Gothenburg, last week! Take care and tata! /Joel W and OOC...
