INSISION – Kafé 44 31/10 2009
Good to have you back guys:) New line up: Carl Birath – Vox, Roger Johansson – Guitar, Magnus Martinsson – Guitar, Joel Andersson – Bass, Mac Jonsson – Drums
VICIOUS ART – Club Distortion, Kafé 44 3/10 2009
It´s been awhile (think I saw them last time at Tanto??) but now they were back and as good as ever. A Vicious Art gig you can only leave as a happy idiot:) They make you that way every time. You can´t help it. And they deserved much more mayhem & mosh in the audience, but the alcoholrestrictions (new rules, only 2 beernights/month at Kafé 44 from now on) at the venue, made people feel a bit off I think. Anyway, this gig also made my extrememetalloving friend Eeva finally drag herself to a gig! Her son in law to be is in the band. Hope this wasn´t the last time for her…?;)
Tribulation – Club Distortion, Kafé 44 3/10 2009
OMFG!! I loved the album (The Horror) before, and now seeing Tribulation live, I´m totally lost in it again. Have played the CD on loop in 2 days now;) Amazing album, amazing band, amazing gig!! Can´t say anything else. These guys totally ruled!
Invasion – Club Distortion, Kafé 44 3/10 2009
Didn´t know so much about these guys from Karlstad/Sthlm when I went to the gig, but they weren´t bad at all! Definitely worth checking out some more…They´ve been around since 2006 but this was the first time I got to see them. Hope not the last, though. Some pics for ya further down.
REV 16:8 [release party for “Grand Tidal Rave”] @ Pluto 2/10 2009
[Updated galleries Sept -24]
REV 16:8 got to play very late so I had to run off in the middle of the gig. Sorry for that, but I shot as much I could before I left. There was so much smoke on the stage during the first couple of songs, so I could hardly see the band behind (and in) it. And it was really hard to get some decent pics. I got this gray layer in all of them…When it got clearer, I had to leave. Oh well…too bad, I did my best and the band sounded really good! Have to see a whole gig someplace soon.

Die Hard – Pluto 2/10 2009
[Updated galleries Sept -24]
Die Hard are reliable when it comes to great gigs. Allthough they told me about some gig in Gävle, which didn´t go too well…apparently too much alcohol involved;) Well…this time they went easy on the booze BEFORE the gig and truly delivered!! Enjoyed it a LOT!Harry – Hasse – Håkan
Quad DMG – Pluto 2/10 2009
REV 16:8 Releaseparty – Pluto 2/10 2009
[Updated gallery Sept -24]
Never been to this Pluto venue before, but I think they´ve already hosted a lot of gigs to this date. Not so much metal, though. Not that I know anyway. REV 16:8 throwed a releaseparty for their latest album “Grand Tidal Rave” and special guests for the evening were Die Hard and Quad DMG (two guys playing black metal on guitar & drums. Strange but cool in some weird way.). I was kindly invited by Claes (REV´s manager) and I was really looking forward to this one. Curious about REV 16:8…the material on their MySpace sounds really good! And I was going to see Die Hard again!
The backstage area was crowded, smoky and with free beer. I only had one as usual, but the gesture was enough, so thanx a lot Claes. You´re a generous guy!;) The amazing leatherman Tommy was there and also did some shooting. He´s pics are already online on his facebook…I´m late as always. But here they go (the first ones):
ABRAMIS BRAMA + ELECTRIC MAYHEM – The Cave Rock Club, 5/9 2009
Got a message from Harry who told me that his band Electric Mayhem (wasn´t EM the band Animal played in in the Muppet show??;)) was going to play at a new rock/metalclub in Sundbyberg. He also asked if I could come over to shoot some pics. So I did.
Cool place with ok stage and lights. The sound could have been better, though. The other band playing was the well known Abramis Brama, and both bands got this 70´s groovy sound and look. And today I realized what Abramis Brama means…It´s a FISH!! I always thought it was somekind of hippiechant;))All photos:
