... and therefore I'm writing songs instead of fencing. I've been penning 'em down all week. It's going great. I am turning into quite the genius over here. thinking of you guys / anton a

Bonfires and watermelon

We had so great shows this weekend. We'd like to give a special shout out to Manuel for feeding us and showing us the ways of Barvaria: Bonfires and vodka-watermelon!

Insane heat at Magnet in Berlin on sunday. I did some very arty photography of urban invironment tourism as we went in to the city in our black car with tinted windows. Thunderclaps and lightning in the air. Great to see all of you there. The show was so great for me and all of us. We'll be back in autumn with our own production. It's gonna rock the party even further at the Bang Bang. 2 hours of sleep and then we were on the plane back to sweden. Johnny got left behind, hope you are ok dude!

Here's a picture from last weekend at Trädgården, another awsome show this summer. / Anton

...is where we are,
waiting for the car.
hope it´ll take us far,
and bring us to the festival...

Film Premier

Yesterday we went to the premier of the new swedish comedy "Scener Ur Ett Kändisskap", where "Paint The City Black" is the on the soundtrack. Free drinks and snacks before the film is always popular among the members of Molotov Jive. It felt a little weird to watch a film and suddenly they played our own song. After the film we went to the after party where more free drinks and food waited for us. A very nice evening I have to say. I can also tell you that Anders and Johan had a long night after our show at "Trädgården" in Stockholm. I can not tell you everything(We are saving some stories for out biography) but I can tell you that shoping carts, dancing, rosé wine outside in the dawn and stealing breakfast from the rich people are some parts of the story.

Brings Back Memories...

Almost 2 years ago, while we were touring through Germany with the When it's over... album, SVT came along and shot a documentary about touring abroad. Brings back a lot of memories. Here it is:

Live @ Trädgården Under Bron

New show boys and girls. We will play in Stockholm at the premiere of new club Trädgården under bron in Skanstull on Saturday. It's gonna be packed so get there on time. See yaa!

We're in a studio. Laying down some new songs. Oskar is playing a guitar so mean it's cutting through our ears like hot knives through butter. Anders and myself have fled into another room. Sweet internet. Our only refuge.

New show!

We sat down and talked about the upcoming Kurt festival we are going to attend the 18:th of July. After discussing this for some time we agreed that one show in to little, since we like to be in Germany so much. Then Johnny pulled some strings and now we are going to play at Magnet in Berlin the day after Das Kurt Festival. 19:th of July that is! Do I have to say that we are looking forward to this?
