We did it
MARTYRDÖD - Sekt is available on vinyl now -> the LP is out!!! I didn’t knew if it would ever happen cause it seemed the curse was unbreakable but finally with a 9 month delay this bastard is out. As is the NAILS - S/t 7inch. A great debut of this Berlin based punkrock band of good friends of mine. There were some problems with the sound but it’s out as good as it was possible.
I updated the DATES section with some NAILS shows, VICTIMS festival appearances and the 2010 spring tour of KYLESA. Can’t wait to see em live again.
So only good news this time and I will lay back with a smile now.
Holidays, Suomi trip, Martyrdöd
Moi Moi
back from holidays i am. Already for 10 days and just really arrived back here and off i am again. Vacation was great, meeting my parents and my sister rocked and having my best friend Lisa on my side is always good. Sorry for taxing your patience so much by being so moody and thanks for staying with me.
Next days i am off to Suomi with Disfear to have my road and punk show fix and see my Mumin friends.
Martyrdöd LP is still in a complete new mastering process to hopefully get a satisfying result on vinyl. Everything we tried by now didn’t really convince us so now my soundmaster Frank “SAW” Bolz is sitting over it… stay tuned, it will come out one day!!!
Wasted Time + more tours, release delays and blabla
WASTED TIME and GOVERNMENT WARNING EUROPE TOUR starts today, don’t miss them. The WASTED TIME 12inches i made for the tour are delayed. Fuck, several things piled up again and now it’s the classic last minute/delayed story and i hate it. Records are in press but another holiday and the weekend delay the delivery so the earliest the band will have their colored copies (gold and solid dark blue!) in Freiburg. Sorry, especially to the band. CRIMINAL DAMAGE are also on tour in Europe and i look forward finally seeing them live. DISFEAR make a short Denmark weekend trip and VICTIMS fly over the ocean to rock the US… Many great tours and shows are happening the next months so my couch will definitely miss me. MARTYRDÖD LP testpressings should arrive this week and if there is no mistake the record will be ready for the Be-Part.Festival VI, 11. - 14. June 2009. This weekend (22./23.Mai 2009) is the ALERTA ANTIFASCISTA FESTIVAL #8 in Hannover.
Hasta Luego y Rock On
Dates section
I posted the European tour dates of CRIMINAL DAMAGE, TRAGEDY, WASTED TIME and KYLESA. Look forward to see them live. Rock Out!
Back i am and over it is
The FU Tour was a blast and a worthy farewell to touring Europe. I had good times with the kick ass Canadians and the days with my comrades Victims in Suomi were brilliant like always too. Thanks to the Canadians and Swedes and Fins for great days and nights. Also the tour(s) gave me the affirmations i expected. I still could tour and can have good times on tour but i don’t need and don’t want it anymore. I for sure will be seen on the road here and there at weekends with good friends but the tourbiz is done for me for now. Back home is great. A lot of rehab aftercare like muscle training, physiotherapy and doctor appointments and checks but also a lot of walks, meeting with friends… By the way: HARDSKIN + Flo ruled OiOiOi
LA FAMILIA FEST starts today
Today starts the little fest tour. Please come by in Potsdam, Hamburg, Mülheim and have good times at fun shows. I’ll be in Hamburg and Mülheim and would be super happy to see many familiar faces!!!
Disfear + Doomriders are hitting the road after that weekend check the dates section and go to see them. Good guys, killer bands and great live entertainment!
Malakas, Family and Hospital
I’m back in the hospital. Hope to get my shoulder surgery on Friday so i’m out next week. Plans for combining the mailorder/wholesale with 2 other labels/friends are looking good. Graspop was ok, time with Disfear great. Meeting Jack and WBTD was great. Antimob and Bombenalarm in Hannover was a blast and a relief. Great to finally meet my fetah Boy Panos in real. The weekend at my parents with my good friend Lisa was great. Thanks Mum, Dad an Jürgen. Samurai exhibition in Speyer rules, sightseeing with my parents anyway. Ella is back home in Malmö, enjoy it but come back! BURIAL / NIGHTMARE / CRUDE 12inch testpress turned out brutal. Some layout stuff needs to be fixed and then the pressing starts. I added some more shows, tours, check it out.
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.
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.
