THE BREEDERS' 'will-they-won't-they-get -together-again' saga continued this weekwith news that Kim Deal has cancelled a series of News - BREEDERS (s2 of 6) Amps dates, including Irishsupport slots with the Sex Pistols, to concentrate on working with her originaloutfit. In NME last week, her sister Kelley Deal said there was noguarantee The Breeders would work together again and that nobody would "give ashit" if they never again put out anything new. The Amps and Breeders' recordlabel, 4AD, said the The Breeders situation was "up in the air". "We don't really know what is going on, but Kelley's comments last week may havebeen simple conjecture. A Breeders album could possibly come out without Kelley.It does not need Kelley to make it a Breeders album. It's unfortunate that gigshave been cancelled because they are all very high-profile dates, but that's theway it goes." The cancelled Amps dates are T In The Park (July 14), Belfast,supporting the Pistols (17), Dublin Point, supporting the Pistols (18), DublinMean Fiddler (19), Phoenix Festival (20) and London Highbury Garage *** Alcides H.

If you read the previous note regarding this, you remember that I said that _all messages sent to a Lysator-address_ (to the mailing list, to me, etc) will be _saved_ (though there will probably be problems with that too for an hour or two during the move) and distributed when everything is back up again. * So, either you stop sending mail to the mailing list or me for these few days, or you continue to send mail, hoping for the best. This is entirely up to you. But remember that I will not be able to reply to any messages before June 29th or 30th (earliest date). //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ----------------------------- Date: Mon, 24 Jun 1996 02:16:39 -0400 From: RFrake@aol.com Subject: An Introduction Hej Alla, I'm new to the list so I thought an introduction should be in order. My name is Raymond Frake and I am a graphic designer in Chicago who will soon be moving to Sweden on a permanent basis. This is a good thing since a huge amount of my favorite music comes from Sweden. I own over 50 cds from Swedish bands and happy to say none of them include Ace of Bass or Roxette. Some of my favorites do include: Kent, Eggstone, Popsicle, Wannadies, Bob Hund, Hardy Nilsson, Mouth, Singer, Souls, and Stina Nordenstam. I have to brag that I was probably the first American to buy Kents first CD. I was so blown away by it I told everyone I knew about them and then later got to interview Joakim Berg at Hultsfred for a college radio station. I've created a Kent homepage that can be found at: http://www.nada.kth.se/~d94-hhe/kent/ I'm desperately looking for anyone who can do guitar tabs for Kent songs and I also have a review page where fans can review Kents concerts, videos, singles, albums, etc. You will be given full credit for anything you contribute. My own personal homepage is at...... http://www.student.nada.kth.se/~d94-hhe/ray/ ..........If anyone wishes to check that out Anyway, I'm really looking forward to reading the posts from this mailing list. The best music in the world is coming from Scandinavia (and especially Sweden) these days.

I've got an album by Virna Lindt, called 'Play/Record', which she released in the UK on the Compact label in 1985 - I've also got a couple of singles of hers on a Compact sampler from 83 or so. Does anyone know if she released any other albums, in the UK or in Sweden? And was she a big star over there? I have this very vague memory of her hosting the Eurovision Song Contest one year, although that may just have ben a bad dream of course. Anyone who doesn't know her music, she's a real archetype of Swedish pop, perfect, pure, intelligent... she should have been a huge success, but alas never had a hit single or album here.

Jan Sundstrom ---------------------------- Date: Fri, 28 Jun 1996 15:46:01 +0200 From: d-sunjan@jmk.su.se (Jan Sundstrom) Subject: Finnish indie tape - comments I just got the tape, and i liked some of the stuff. Favourites were: Coo - a mix between Ride and Charlatans, with repetive guitars that sticks to your mind. One of the best/most memorable tracks. Jimi Tenor - instrumental jazz funk with a monosynth feel, a bit like those computer demos you listened to on the c-64. Hip stuff. Candy Darling - _very_ scandinavian singing style, almost over-articulating with deliberately cheesy accent. A mix between The Fall, Broder Daniel and Hardy Nilsson. These guys must be good live?! 22 Pistepirkko - i'm beginning to like these guys. The song on hte tape, Birdy, interrupts in the middle ofr one minute of bird noises. Also best studio quality of the bands of this tape. Maybe 22P are so big they're not indie anymore? I've passed it on, but if someone wants to join the chain... Chief, whaddya say?

Okay, did the one who's got the Finnish Indie Tape catch that? I think it would be a good idea if each person on the chain(s) reports to the mailing list when they get the tape(s) - that way we always know how far the tape has come, and who to contact when people want to be added to the chain(s) as well. Does anyone disagree with me? ----- On a side-note: Magnus (3rd on the Swedish Indie Tape Chain) thought that that chain was way too long and made an extra copy of the tape - and changed the chain into two chains. This means that there are two Swedish Indie tape chains - one that only reaches within Sweden (I think it is the original tape), with Ludvig Borgne as last person on it, and the other that goes abroad (starting with Kimmo in Finland), with Olli Sotamaa as last person on it. The list of people on the chain has also been split into two lists, each list traveling with the each correct tape. Everyone got this? Good! This also means that Ludde will send the tape back to me (Ludde is that okay with you or do you want to do something else?), though I don't know what Magnus wants to do with his tape when Olli is finished with it.

Vilstafestival takes place in Eskilstuna, Sweden. On friday 5/7 it has the best Indie line up Sweden have at the moment: nice stereolabish SUPERSWIRLS, techno bastards MOL, Indiegirls favuorite KENT and the very powerful YVONNE. Poet Thomas Walhstrom will open the festival with his poetry show at 1800, Bukovski meets acid Jazz is what you get from him, quite good. Then I think metalheads CHAIN OF SALVATION (spinal tap) and eurodisco dance act ALTERNATIVE COLOURS will perform before nice stereolabish SUPERSWIRLS, techno bastards MOL, Indiegirls favuorite KENT and the very powerful YVONNE takes the stage. YVONNE play at 2300 and KENT plays at midnight. I've been told there's giong to be a dance tent with local DJs, If its so, they play the HOUSE thing for you til late. It costs 100skr, you by the ticket at the site. It's also easy to camp at the site and if the weather is nice you should bring your swimming gear. The site is a 10 or 15 minutes walk from the Train station and easy to find. Vilstafestival then continue on Saturday with ULF LUNDELL and friends (this costs around 250skr) and thats all I know about Saturday. YVONNE will only play four more shows this year, so catch em at VILSTA FESTIVAL, DALAROCK 12/7, ARVIKAFESTIVAL 20/7 and the last one at LOLLIPOP sthlm 26/7. Check out their new 'Modern Love' T-shirt KENT continue playing all through summer. SUPERSWIRLS will record their full length debut in August but take time out for the EMMABODA festival.

It's nice to see that different people have liked different songs on it. According to Jan Sundstrom: * Coo - a mix between Ride and Charlatans, with repetive guitars that sticks * to your mind. One of the best/most memorable tracks. Watch out for their debut EP which should be out any day now. The new version of "Fiat 600" will rock at least 10 times more! * Jimi Tenor - instrumental jazz funk with a monosynth feel, a bit like those * computer demos you listened to on the c-64. Hip stuff. Great that somebody out there digs this kind of bizarre stuff. You should try to find his "Europa" CD which is full of cheap synths and 70's spy/soft porn movie soundtrack parodies/pastiches; it's the kitschiest thing on this side of the globe. * Candy Darling - _very_ scandinavian singing style, almost over-articulating * with deliberately cheesy accent. A mix between The Fall, Broder Daniel and * Hardy Nilsson. These guys must be good live?! Indeed - on a good night they are one of the best live bands in this country. Whatever happened to the full-lenght album that was supposed to be released? * 22 Pistepirkko - i'm beginning to like these guys. The song on hte tape, * Birdy, interrupts in the middle ofr one minute of bird noises. Also best * studio quality of the bands of this tape. Maybe 22P are so big they're not * indie anymore? Well, technically they haven't been 'indie' since 1988. Although they have now started a record label of their own (so far they have re-released some of their oldest albums I think); maybe they will release their next albums themselves, who knows. In case it has not been mentioned yet, they relased a remix (!) album some time ago, called "Zipcode" featuring remixes by Utah Saint, Martin Rev (of Suicide), some Norwegian technomeisters and a number of other folks from around the world. There is also a Larry & The Lefthanded cover version of some 22-P classic, but I forget which. As there seems to be a lot of good new Finnish indie already out and in the pipeline, I am thinking about compiling another tape for the list, if there is interest. Hence I would appreciate if people would go on commenting about what's good and what's not on the first tape.

Well that explains a couple of things, 1) why I got the tape so quickly and 2) why it sounded like a dubbed tape :) I'm not complaining, it was just an observation I made while listening through it. BTW, I gave the tape to Sami a couple of days ago, maybe he has already forwarded it? In future it would be a good idea to split the chain into two sections already from the start if there is a big number of participants - right? Kimmo ----------------------------- Date: Wed, 3 Jul 1996 15:11:10 +0300 (EET DST) From: trkisa@uta.fi (Kimmo Saaskilahti) Subject: Homespun Just one more quick note about a great EP I bought yesterday, by the Finnish band Homespun (from Kouvola, if memory serves...??). The four-track CD is called "Fabio Fitness And More" and it's the best thing ever to come from Finland in the Sebadoh/Dinosaur Jr/ Pavement/The Bear Quartet/slacker/loser-indie category!!! Everybody keeps saying that they sound very much like Sebadoh, I cannot really say as my expertise in that particular field is sadly limited, but what I thought of from the first moment was "Cosy Den" by TBQ - the same kind of mumbled vocals especially. Homespun have a naturally full and warm sound and good guitarwork as well, lots of little things going on all the time under the surface. Everybody who is into this kind of things should try to get hold of this EP pronto, but that might prove to be difficult, since (as far as I can see, which isn't really that far... :) they aren't giving us either the band or label (Hipnose) address on the sleeve! I guess somebody just forgot about it... :) While I'm at it, I'd like second Erik's recommendation about the Lemonator EP as well.

Billboard will publish a review on the new Salt US single "So" (Island 7218) on July 6th - and here, somewhat exclusive to Scandinavian Indie, is the review they will publish: Singles - Edited by Larry Flick POP - Salt "So" 3:33 Producers: Dag Lundquist, Salt Writers: Salt Publisher: MCA, ASCAP Island 7218 (CD single) A strong track with instantly identifiable crossover possibilities. Gentle and poppy enough for top 40 and AC stations and edgy enough for modern rock, this could be the strongest single from the "Mis- sion: Impossible" soundtrack. Distinctive vocals with muscular, romantic guitar work contribute to a song that's dreamy while at the same time grounded and solid from a technical standpoint. It will be interesting to see where the threesome goes from here. //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Jul 1996 23:32:08 +0200 (MET DST) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: P3 Live recorded these at Hultsfred 96 By the way, Swedish national radio (P3 channel, P3 Live program) recorded the following concerts at the Hultsfred Festival 1996: Aloof (The), Baby Chaos, Bandulu, Barkmarket, Bender Boys, Bis, Frank Black, Blur, Calico, Fear Factory, Larry Heard, Micromoon, Mike Flowers Pops, Ministry, Nova Nova, N}id, Pennywise, Iggy Pop, Pulp, Rocket From The Crypt, Sneaker Pimps, Southern Culture On The Skids, Super Furry Animals. //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------ Date: 04 Jul 1996 21:06:16 GMT From: Elin_Olson@skola.agora.se (Elin Olson) Subject: Vilsta - and my brother... Sorry for this but I just had to write this or I would kick my brother somewhere.... Well, tomorrow I'm going to that Vilsta-thing in Eskilstuna. My brother told me earlier he was going too, 'cause my friends are so boring and don't like Yvonne. But just a couple of minutes ago he told me he hates me, and won't go, so that means I'll have to go alone. Such fun... If you see a 17 year old girl, with parts of her hair (luggen) almost dyed blueish-greenish-greyish, don't say Hi, I'm probably still angry ...or - hopefully - not angry at all, since I after all will see Yvonne.

You're absolutely right. I did think of it for a brief moment, but then I just didn't have the time to compile another tape, so I thought it was best to at least send the one tape. Anyway, the next time... And I'll be happy to comment on the Finnish tape, but I have to receive it first! :-) And I still have the Icelandic tape to comment on more thouroughly, I know! By the way, that band, Homespun, sounds like something I would really like. One must be able to find at least _some_ info about the label "Hipnose" somewhere? Anyone searched the 'net? Anyone want to search the 'net? :-) Maybe under "record companies/labels" in the Finnish phone book even? //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Jul 1996 01:20:49 +0200 (MET DST) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Japanese Compilation CDs Received the two Japanese "Swedish Indie" compilation CDs "Swedish Sweets" and "Winter Gift" from a friend of mine in Tokyo this week.

Their sound is the same though - so if you're going to the Tr{stocksfestivalen (July 19-20) in Skellefte}, you will be extremely sorry if you don't see them!

(Source: Scandinavian Indie) Blake Carringtons - have been working hard with a bunch of new songs and material lately, and will put their soul, money and time into a new demo, which is to be recorded during August / September. Who sad that no news is good news!? (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Bob Hurts - (yes, you read this one right too), a Norwegian indie band with a sound they describe themselves as "an American band trying to sound like the Beatles" actually negotiated with Silence Records (the swedish label that swedish band Bob Hund is signed to) about a contract a while ago. They did not get one though, as one of the reasons were that the label wanted the band to change their name, strangely enough... (and the band did not want to do that). (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Brandgul - (Beat Butchers) have spent a couple of days this summer recording a new video. While recording it at a friend's house, his neighbor, none other than Gothenburg ice-hockey team V{stra Fr|lunda's goal keeper, stuck his head out the window and asked what they were doing, and gladly accepted the invitation to join them, fully dressed in his ice-hockey gear! The video includes breaking of dishes, a goal keeper and body painted girls. Release is set for the end of July. (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Celeste - the swedish band from Stockholm have a song on a US compilation CD released by label "Le Grand Magestrie" sometime this summer. The CD is an "EL" tribute, and Celeste performs Louis Philippe's "Every Word Meant Goodbye". The band usually consists of Jonas Mann, Jari Haapalainen (Bear Quartet/Mary-Go-Round) and Erik Domell|f (Seashells) in the studio, but on their latest session, Jiri Novak (Cinnamon) has joined the band. The fruits from this last session, four new songs, will probably be released as an EP this coming autumn, but it is not yet decided on what label. (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Dry Dive - 's album "Ass Hole As Possible", recently reviewed by Scandinavian Indie, was only distributed (350 copies) to the bands' friends by themselves, but will now be released on the label "Deaf And Dumb" at the end of August. (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Fidget - (Mega) signed Mega's contract last monday! The record company agreed to everything the band wanted, which, for example, included their own label, a "release no longer than six months after recording" request and some money. The band went out to dine in downtown Gothenburg with the label representatives afterwards to celebrate. Their debut album will be recorded in August, and it is planned to be released around November this year. (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Fireside - (StartRec/American Recordings) are going on the Lollapalooza tour in the US, starting July 18th and ending August 4th. You probably knew that, didn't you. Right. What you might not know, is that they are playing the second stage of the tour together with Jonny Polonsky, Satchel, The Melvins, Sponge and Soul Coughing. Jeff Eyrich (Salt's US manager) and Per Kviman (A&R at MVG)'s management company, GreenTeam is taking care of the band in the U.S. and American Recordings are working on dedicated pages on their Web-site for Fireside as well. They might just be ready today, so why not check http://american.recordings.com? The next swedish bands brought under the wings of GreenTeam are rumored to be The Drowners and Starlet. Lollapalooza tour dates coming up next! (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Lemonator - from Finland (recently reviewed by Scandinavian Indie as well) will spend the summer playing at various festivals around Finland. This means that their planned debut album has been delayed, and will not be released until this autumn. The band is also looking for record companies outside Finland interested in working with the band (see contact address on the "Scandinavian CD Reviews" web-pages). (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Salt - (MVG/Island) came back to Sweden on June 24th after ending their third US tour this year on the 23rd in Minneapolis. Jim Tegman borrowed Jeff Eyrich's laptop after the first gig on the tour and sent this (edited version, in swedish only - sorry) message: "Hej Erik, Salt har rapporterandes fran det forlovande landet i vast. Vi har precis avslutat den forsta spelningen pa den har turne'n med Screaming Trees, spelningen om jag far saga sa sjalv var javligt bra, mycket folk och bra respons man for bara hoppas att resten av den har turne'n blir lika lyckad." And apparently the tour was a very good one. Right now, the band is resting a bit - Nina Ramsby and Jim Tegman are spending their vacation "not in Stockholm" though Daniel Ewerman decided to stay in the city. (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Sandy Lyle - from Stockholm (recently reviewed..) will play at Studion in Stockholm on friday July 12th. Three bands are on the menu that night - Sandy Lyle, Hollow Ground and a third band, not yet decided. Tickets are 50 SEK, which you pay at the doors. Be there before 21.00!

Check out AQUI at URL: http://www.aqui.ibm.com. * A more surprising place to find Scandinavian Indie is in the soc.culture.nordic FAQ for Sweden (part 7)!

IT stands for "Informa- tionsteknologi", the commission works with issues related to computer networks and other modern ways of communication.) chief@lysator.liu.se (Erik) (He runs a mailing-list dealing with Scandinavian indie-pop) * And finally, Europe Online, a pan-European multilingual online service on the web, for Europeans, by Europeans, launched their preview of the Europe Online Swedish service this week. I received an email sayin that "In this site we include links to the top Swedish websites in different categories." And they chose Scandinavian Indie as one of the links! Europe Online can be found at URL: http://www.europeonline.com. (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Shallow Soundwave - are going into the studio in August to record a new (24 channel!) demo! This was decided after the band started to receive letters from several labels, MVG, Momento Materia, MNW and Energy Rekords, all wanting to hear more. The band will spend three days in the studio, and hopefully, the demo will be out at the end of August. Right now, drummer (and bass) Nicolas Janco is spending his vacation together with his girlfriend on Gotland.

Sulky used to be called Sex Dwarfs, before that Fiuggi.
