Metal, friends and surgery
Hellfest last weekend was a blast. The night before at 1st Class Suicide (best cocktailbar ever) was killer, the time with the Disfears and Johan was so nice, inspiring and brilliant, meeting the RottenSound mumins was fun too. Seeing Watain and Satyricon ruled. Satyr looks like a norwegian jeans model and acts like it (ruins the great music) and Watain well, great show but fuck their Elite. Municipal Waste that’s the real ‘Elite’ :-)!!! Party on dudes and Scotty. I might have to cancel my Japan trip in August cause of my health, would suck. Other things suck too but tomorrow is cocktailnight with Ella and that makes life better and the weekend will too. GraspopMetalMeeting with Disfear then another surgery on my shoulder and so on. BURIAL / NIGHTMARE / CRUDE 12inch is in progress. Testpressing should arrive next week. Skitkids stuff sells good, limited editions are still available though.
Stuttgart Festival and more
Back from Stuttgart and it was big fun. Still too many bands every day but the organisation felt much better than the last years and i had good times. Two days and two times driving 10 hours was still to much for me even though the drives were fun cause of my mobile disco = the AssAssinators esp. Anna banan. Also it was a blast having my swedish family around and many others of my punk family. Love you! Thanks to the organizers, bands and catering crews. And thanks to everyone who bought records from me, this weekend kind of saved the label cause i can pay off debts this week. Now up to two more weekends of festivals, metal fests though, but it will be a blast with my friends. And one more thing: Farewell Ethan!!! Sucks you are leaving to the USSA and i will miss you huge neanderthal punk but have a great start over there.
No Trades!? Paypal Address?
Some people took it a little offensive i wrote >> WE DON’T TRADE !!! - Sorry, but the pressing plant does not take vinyl as payment! << Ok, stupid humor so now a short explanation. I don’t trade my limited stuff and i have no working distro so can’t really sell traded records and postage became so stupid high, buying is often better affordable than trading. BUT i might trade again when i have the chance to sell trade records again and when i paid my debts and i also have others trading my stuff (as written at the end of the newsletter too!!!) Sorry to who took it offensive, i didn’t mean it but i have to face all the above facts. Understand it or just ban/ignore me!!! And my paypal address is the address the newsletter came from: hellache@unsociable.net.
Skitkids LP lim. edition, Tour Dates and balabla.
I added some tourdates. The SEEIN RED / FRAMTID Japan tour i will joyn (can’t wait to go there again and meet my Japanese punk family) and the ANTIMOB Tour. ANTIMOB is a hc/punk band from Greece with my lovely Mr. Panos and they are good, so check em out if you have a chance. The LIMITED EDITION of the SKITKIDS - “Besöket Vid Krubban” LP is finally ready.Heavy white vinyl with crazy screenprint Cover layoutet by Kashka by using original artwork from Crash Mange and adding crazy good looking shit and all screenprinted (4-colors) on silver cardboard by the screenprint maestro Olli!!!! Amazing, so get a copy. SKIKIDS will also play some shows this summer, i will post the dates when i finally get them. Aside from all this i am still way behind with everything and my motivation just doesn’t come back. But a lot of plans i am working on so hopefully all better, bigger, faster, higher, louder, more stupid and less stress for me soon.
