Monday Tuesday is nr 4!

New single Monday Tuesday is nr 4 most played song at the student radio chart. Yay!

This makes me remember my days at the Karlstad university. They were few but long. I studied psychology but mostly I hung out with a death metal singer and one old punk from Forshaga who's older brother also was a metal singer. We talked about music and copied eachothers papers. We called ourselves the iron three. I quit after we got signed.

Waffle

This week P3 started rotating Monday Tuesday. That obviously called for some sort of celebration. Waffles and beer was consumed. We also rehearsed new material. Don't Go Into The Long Grass among others. Killer tune I must say.

Our lives.

I've been sitting and making this film during the last days. I'm really good at editing so it takes some time for me to get it perfect. Here is the result. //Oskar

The Annauncement part 2

Today we signed a deal with the German record label Strange Ways. That means that "Songs For The Fallen Apart" will be released in Germany in a near future. Since this is still very early days in the working process we don't know all the details with release date etc. But we will provide you with all the necessary information you'll need as sonn as possible. We are very happy about this and we look forward to work with Strange Ways!

The sky is fire and gold

Today the Monday Tuesday video was shown for the first time on ztv.
Tomorrow we will do some home recording.

I´ll let Oskar bring you the big big news! He has got it on the camera.

madferrit?

We got 4 out of 5 in the hometown paper. It means a bunch, let me tell ya.

MOLOTOV JIVE
• Scen: Arena, Karlstad, lördag.

Hur som helst. Efter visa följer entré.
– För två år sedan lämnade vi Karlstad och skrev en låt om det, säger Anton Annersand med det välbekanta vansinnet i blicken.
Leave it in the streets blir således låten som får inleda kvällens spelning. Tvåa blir Song for the fallen apart, också från senaste skivan med samma namn, som smidigt för ett par sekunder övergår i Bonnie Tylers Total eclipse of the heart.
Badandes i orange och rosa spotlights är vi plötsligt tillbaka på alla hjärtans dag 2007 då Valentine visades på Lunarstorm och debutskivan släpptes några månader tidigare. Till The luck you got tar 74 kilo Forshaga kommun, som även går under namnet Oskar Olofsson, fram det bästa ur gitarren. Fler gamla låtar rotas fram även om det ändå är nya skivan som står i fokus i kväll.
Men jag saknar lite energi. Framförandet är naturligtvis energiskt i överkant. Det är ju ändå Molotov Jive vi pratar om. Men jag tror att Anton Annersand ändå har en förhållandevis ganska lugn kväll även om det blir lite skuggboxning under extranumren.
Det var helt enkelt, galnare sist jag såg dem live. Kanske inte lika väloljat, men mer galet. Det var å andra sidan innan skiva två och innan det var Sveriges Molotov Jive och inte Karlstads. Det har ändå runnit en hel del vatten under stenbron sedan dess.
De inbitna fansen, nya som gamla, med varje låttext på tungspetsen står längst fram och njuter. Det vet att Molotov Jive gör sig som allra bäst live.
Det avslutande crescendot på Cecilia and the love är helt klart kvällens bästa stund. Ett rysarmoment som nästan toppas av munspelstonerna som ljuder under sista extralåten, Hold me tight (like a gun). Bara ett par-tre takter munspel och det räcker. Det är lagom. Det som behövs.
Och så är det med resten av spelningen. Molotov Jive ger det som behövs.
Nytt. Gammalt. Svängigt. Mysigt. Avslappnat.
Med en vag avsaknad av den energi som en gång var så självklar.
Men ändå ”mycket bra”.

Five pictures says more then thousand words.

Im gonna make it easy for me this time. Enjoy some pictures from Åre!

An attempt on Norway

We're on the way to Oslo. I just wrote a great, long, well formulated blog about it all and I happend to press the wrong button and now it's all gone. I am mad and frustrated and will not do the post again. I have a strong dislike towards computer machines. They never seem to do what I want.

See the luck I've had can make a good man bad. So for once in my life, let me get what I want. Lord knows it will be the first time.

:)

Caught in the eye of the Ski World Cup

Åre is this week the host of the world cup downhill skiing tournament yada yada. There are people from all over the world. Austrians, Americans, Canadians and also Italians (steeling our parking space outside the venue). We're caught in the eye of the hurricane. We're expecting a big crowd tonite. Another great venue on this tour. We've just soundchecked and the FOH soundman seems to be a bit at it cos he won't mind having the amps up to the max. Which we off course have no objection against. In the bus up from Stockholm we've consumed following movies:

Fight Club
Razorlight - Live At Brixton
A Hard Days Night
Anders open fireplace DVD

Back at the crime scene.

We went to Linköping last Saturday. Last time we where there it ended up with Johan, Anders and me inhaling large amounts of helium and decorating the walls with MJ-stickers. Unfortunatelly we couldn't find the tubes with all the "Donald Duck gas" this time but we pulled off an intesive gig in front of happy students with shades and shorts anyway. Right now I'm packing my my snowboard and boots for the trip to Åre this Wednesday. //Oskar

Sefton, our tech for this trip.

Memories from the past.

The Announcement part 1

Tomorrow we have a new tech with us on the road to Linköping. His name is Fredrik Sefton and he is also from Forshaga, just like me. So there won't be any problems there. Since he's in Uppsala right now we can't give you a picture of him tight now. Instead you'll get a picture of Johans new carpet. Tonight I'm gonna go to a bar or two and have a couple of beers. Maybe Anders will join me. Peace//Oskar

PS. There will be a second announcement during next week DS.

Snowballs and gas stations.

Here is a short film with some short sequences from our last weekend in Sundsvall. Or more sequnces from the road on our way to Sundsvall. Anyway, Enjoy! I can also tell you that we have an announcement to make tomorrow so keep your eyes and ears open.
//Oskar

Gossip

Johnny bought a persian carpet yesterday.

Heavy Metall In The Night

Im starting get worried about my friend Anton. His hair has just grown longer and longer and a couple of days ago I caught him in the rehearsal teaching Oskar the famous Metallica song Seek and Destroy on guitar. My final proof of my suspicion is this picture we got from our last gig in Sundsvall.

Anton has become metall!

There are more pictures from the gig on our myspace.

By the way: a couple of fansites and forums about us has taken place on the internet. Feel free to join them.
