I just don't know what to say. ..it's not like the jon spencer blues explosion hasn't been featured in magazines before pop put them on the cover.. hell, the guy who wrote the article didn't even know about sonic youth until '92 (see early "da" pull out"), which doesn't exactly give him a lot of credibility, considering he is well over 30 and has supposedly been writing about underground rock music for 15 years. and i would believe that goes with, for example, the jon spencer blues explosion as well. he has probably known about them for a couple of years, but makes it sound like he discovered jon spencer when pussy galore's cover of "exile on mainstreet" came out in, what?, 1987. disbeliever, per ps. note that this is not a slam at just one person, what i believe goes for the whole pop-staff. i mean, since exactly when did andres lokko become this big fan of punky garagish 90's rockabilly bands like the make-up and rocket from the crypt? what's next; pop doing a full issue on american 80's underground rock, featuring bands like big black and fugazi, claming the whole staff has been greatly influenced by all these bands and at they been writing about primal scream, stevie wonder and sade just to make a living. -------------------------------- Date: 28 Oct 1996 13:23:43 +0100 From: Robert Cumming Subject: Re: Booking Agencies - some thoughts In article , Per L}ngstr|m wrote: > per, who's "flavour of the month" is the fine scottish > pavement-clone urusei yatsura.

I guess no one would say no if he/she was offered a million crowns for nothing. But - referring to a discussion that has been going on here for a while - you could use the same argument for EMA-Telstar and PoP: don't you think they have bills to pay to? But OK - I don't know the details in the Wannadies-deal and I don't know the details about their economic situation (or the economic situation of those working at EMA-Telstar or POP).

I know we discussed them about a year ago on the list, when they were signed to Warner Chappel/ Scandinavia and were chosing between the Telegram, Diesel and Sony labels, and Jan Sundstrom said we should expect a single within the next couple of months (and that was in February), so I guess the single is out now?!

Contents: Dead Birds Wanna Fly - "Broken Wings" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Dead Birds Wanna Fly - "Broken Wings", 1996, Time: 44.17 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.

That's Enough (3.09) Scandinavian Indie Review: This is not a regular demo tape in any way. First, it comes from _Brazil_ and second it consists of songs from the _"Broken Wings"_ demo plus a couple of new extra songs as well, which makes it just as long as a normal full length album! Though in this review, the whole tape is considered as one single demo, because it is a demo. With that out of the way, let's go for the music! The first thing that comes to your mind when thinking about music from Brazil is not exactly floating, dreamy and compact guitar-walls together with echo-filled, eerie vocals is it? Well, it is time to think again, because that is exactly what we have here. The base is made out of beautiful, powerful, roaring, heavily distorted, thundering drone electric guitars that makes me want to bite my teeth and scream. A castle would not have enough walls to satisfy these guitars. Sometimes we hear them together with lonely, alarming guitars with the one goal to join the roaring ones, warning them about the forthcoming day of doom and destruction. _'Shadows Crying'_ and _'I Am So Tired'_ are perfect examples. The last one of them being my personal favourite song on the tape, even tough the vocals there are not very pleasant, the music, the alarming electric guitar, the distorted wall-of-doom guitars... it is just immeasurably gorgeous. Sometimes we hear them together with swirly, jingling, and a lot happier guitars watching the sunrise on a beautiful summer morning. Examples of this can be found in _'Nabo Is Dead'_, _'Curfew'_, which is fantastic, both music and vocals, and I just have to mention the end of _'Mrs. D.'_, which is utterly and totally mind bogglingly a wonder in itself! Distorted electric guitar walls behind a single and lonely, echoing and whining electric guitar. Over these walls of sound climbs single, desolate, monotone and sad male vocals, revealing the story that lies behind each and every tone, expressing deepest regrets, and happy moments. Heavy echo effects makes them float on top of the heavily distorted electric guitars. As if they were outside the room. Untouchable and unreachable. The other songs, _'Some Drops of Sugar In My Heart'_ and _'I Can't Stop To Smile'_ for example, are still filled with dreamy, monotone and dronish vocals, but instead of electric guitar-walls, there are gorgeous acoustic guitars, sending shivers down my back. They are simply that fantastic. They kind of remind me of _Antonio Banderas_ in _Desperado_, you know, at the beginning of the movie. Especially _'Some Drops..'_ which is full of pick guitars, and it sounds fantastic! Two songs on the tape made me snap out of my dream world, because I am almost positive that I have heard them before. _'Shadows Crying'_ which sounds like a _Front Line Assembly_, _Ministry_ or _Front 242_ song (I can't say which one for certain, because I don't have any of their records), and _'That's Enough'_ which sounds like _U2_. Though I am only talking about the music, and not the vocals. If you are into drone indie pop, shoegazer style, like _My Bloody Valentine_, _Flying Saucer Attack_ or even the music _Lush_ made early in their career (swirly, jingling guitars), you are bound to love this! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact: Papa Muerta Rua Itajai, 58 - Jd.

Contents: Comespace - "Having Never Flown a Spaceship Before" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Comespace - "Having Never Flown a Spaceship Before", 1996, Time: 09.30 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Float (6.17) 2. A Most Enjoyable Day (3.09) Scandinavian Indie Review: Comespace comes from _Brazil_ and believes in the short and simple way when making demo tapes. That usually leaves a reviewer hanging somewhere between deciding how to describe their actual sound as a band or just go for each song separately, if the songs sound totally different. I have chosen to go for each song separately. _'Float'_ is a noisy, slow and experimental piece. Experimental because of the "rain drop" effects/filters they have used here and there, something I have never heard before. Noisy because after a pretty silent start, it turns into a complete concrete wall of sounds. The electric guitars, the drums, the bass. It sounds like everything but the bass is plugged into every possible effect box they could find. Slow because the both the music and the vocals are dronish, dreamy and somewhat monotone. We are talking music based around repetition, minima and droning, and at the same time, they have left most of the standard verse/chorus parts behind in order to reach the main goal; to create a common whole with their music. A cacophonous wall of sound without a fixed beginning or end, where no distinct and prominent features are supposed to sound separated from each other. _'A Most Enjoyable Day'_, on the other hand, is fantastic! Amazing! Beautiful! Yes, it is completely and totally brilliant! So perfect. So professional that I am stunned. Mouth open, eyes closed, on my back on the floor (sounds like a great piece of lyrics, doesn't it?) I can't help but laugh. It generates that euphoric feeling inside me! Like the first time I heard Slowdive (my favourite band in the whole world, ever). I am not saying that they sound like Slowdive, only that this song recreates that very feeling I had when I first heard them. What I do think of, when I hear this, and when it comes to the vocals, is early early _Ride_. Dreamy, clear and beautiful male vocals that are "out there somewhere" on top of the distorted electric guitar-wall that moves throughout the whole song from the start to the end like a red thread. It is guitar-walls like these that can make me cry out of sheer and utter pleasure, and I am not ashamed to admit it. It is just so surprising to find such a professional sounding song here, right after the somewhat experimental _'Float'_! The music and the vocals here.. it all just sounds so great together! If these guys had access to a professional recording studio, the shoegazer, drone and dreampop throne would be found in Brazil! That is to say; someone better put their songs, or at least 'A Most Enjoyable Day' on CD and send me a copy immediately! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact: Papa Muerta Rua Itajai, 58 - Jd.

I'm not too sure about how many non-Scandinavians we have on the list these days, but for those in North America who miss my posts in other places, I'll mention I've recently received a new shipment of records from North of No South. And as usual, having trouble keeping things in stock for very long. E-mail me directly if you want mail-order info, I'd prefer not to use up too much of everyone else's bandwidth. Especially as I'm not sure if the majority of the list members (for whom getting these records is not problem) mind this sort of commercial post. (?)

I decided to relocate to Stockholm in a month or so. Thus, I'll be making a couple trips to Stockholm from Copenhagen in a few weeks with all my shit; stereo, computer, CDs, skateboard shit, etc..., and I take E4 from the ferry/Helsingborg. I'm looking for passengers who are en route/going to Stockholm/Copenhagen. Basically, I could take only 1 person on the way up, because of the limited space. From Stockholm, I could take more people, because of more space. The car is the size of a 1995/6 VW Polo. To give you an idea about time, the ferry docked around 3 in Helsingborg, and I was in St. Eriksplan @7:30 (and I even got a little lost). I'm an experienced driver: turned 25 a month ago, got my license on my 16th birthday, made numerous roadtrips from San Jose to LA / San Diego (7-8 hours) from age 16-18, drove around the US and Canada twice for 5 weeks from age 17-19, a few speeding tickets, no accidents. I expect everybody (including me) to split the gas; everything should be fair and square. I would want to leave on a Thurs. night and return Sun. afternoon; the first trip should be on 14 or 15/11. If your interested, feel free to respond. Tak, Pete ------------------------------- Date: Tue, 29 Oct 1996 16:56:42 +0200 From: pp@re.dk Subject: Parking Hej Igen, Parking in Stockholm is a total bitch. There are parking meters all the way into the outer areas. We went out to this area where all the newspapers are, like fucking 7 miles outside of downtown, and there were these parking meters there. My friends told me that one has to be quick to leave before 8 and pay the meter until 6. I think this is how your city discourages traffic. That's cool, but that policy is pretty strict. I've never seen so many parking meters outside a downtown area. It seems like the parking meter industry sells the most parking meters per / city meter in Europe. Correct me if I'm wrong. Yes...I've been to many cities, but I've never seen parking meters at this scale before. Anyways, I'm still going to try to devise a way to reduce the cost of parking in Stockholm, even if I don't have a car. I'll think of it as a side project, touring around cafes making speeches and holding workshops. Over and out... --------------------------------- Date: Tue, 29 Oct 1996 16:56:41 +0200 From: pp@re.dk Subject: Moving to Stockholm Hej Igen, I'll be moving to Stockholm in a few weeks, and I was looking to rent a room, preferably in/near the center or Södmalm(?). To sum it up, I'm giving up my job in Copenhagen, as a Marcomm Writer, and returning a car I've been renting since May to be in Stockholm , because it seems like Swedes have a clue about indie/punk music. Plus, there seems like there's something to do/see every night. It's a killer town. I've been to Europe 8x, since 7/91. I've been to several towns, and I thought Copenhagen was the town for me, but the scene here really sucks. Thus, I can't justify any reason to stay here. I feel that Stockholm/Sweden is one of European the towns/countries that closely resembles an/the American city/concept, when it comes to the indie scene. Your culture seems like you really welcome American trends / influences more than other European countries. I observed that clubs "try," radio stations "try," local labels "try," bands "try" to support eachother and open channels of discussion. Overall, it seems like people there try to do the best they can to support their scene, and that's very impressive to see. Many towns/countries I've visited don't have a fucking clue; this one does. (I want to add a footnote that I might change my opinion after living there.) Enough of the rationalizing, I have enough money to support myself. I'm neat and clean. I'll look for jobs in the computer field as a consultant or correct English papers for students. We'll see. I want to be there until January. If I don't get what I want, then I'm splitting back home to Silicon Valley. I want to give myself adequate time to struggle and become frustrated, before going home. Likewise, I'm renting a 21m2 room in a 3 bedroom flat in Fredericksberg/Copenhagen for 1.900Dkr. with el & varme if you know anybody who's interested. Any suggestions will be welcome. Yes...I know Stockholm is a difficult town to find housing, especially short-term stays. I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

I've received the Icelandic Indie and Finnish Indie tapes so far. Then there's the Estonian Indie tape (where is it now?), and the Swedish Indie tape (I know I know, I'm last on that list, but where is it?!) Umm, * Christopher Kakkos in Greece * - have you received the Swedish Indie tape yet? And then someone was supposed to compile a Norwegian Indie compilation as well, right? Someone? //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Oct 1996 03:46:11 +0100 (MET) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Luger Tour List _Update_ [29-Oct-96] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scandinavian Indie Luger Tour List UPDATE Scandinavian Indie October 29th 1996 by Erik Soderstrom (chief@lysator.liu.se) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCANDINAVIAN: BREACH (S) - Burninng Heart / MD 22/11 Sundsvall (S) Pipeline New Date THE HELLACOPTERS (S) - White Jazz / House Of Kicks 22/11 Hassleholm (S) Perrong 23 New Date SHREDHEAD (S) - NONS / Border *NEW* 13/12 Helsinki (SF) Oranssiklubi 14/12 Riihimaki (SF) Nuorisokeskus 15/12 Vaasa (SF) Youth House TEDDYBEARS STHLM (S) - MVG Records / MD 9/11 Vastervik (S) Bakfickan Cancelled ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NON-SCANDINAVIAN: BEVIS FROND (UK) - Woronzow / Import 5/11 Goteborg (S) Pusterviksteatern New Date DEFUNKT (USA) - Bluefunk / Import 30/11 Goteborg (S) Nefertiti New Date LONG FIN KILLIE (UK) - Too Pure / Border 14/11 Stockholm (S) Kafe 44 Cancelled ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The COMPLETE Luger Tour List can be found on the Scandinavian Indie WWW : http://www.lysator.liu.se/~chief/luger.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Date: Wed, 30 Oct 1996 03:46:29 +0100 (MET) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Motor Tour List _Update_ [29-Oct-96] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scandinavian Indie Motor Tour List UPDATE Scandinavian Indie October 29th, 1996 by Erik Soderstrom (chief@lysator.liu.se) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCANDINAVIAN: Roffe Wikstrom MNW 1/11 Gavle - O'Learys Cancelled 8/11 Helsingborg - Angfarjestationen Cancelled 9/11 Goteborg - Vagen Cancelled 20/11 Sundsvall - Sorakers Fh Cancelled 21/11 Ostersund - Gamla Teatern Cancelled 22/11 Skelleftea - Kulturkrogen Cancelled 26/11 Stockholm - Fasching Cancelled 27/11 Stockholm - Fasching Cancelled 28/11 Stockholm - Fasching Cancelled 29/11 Malmo - KB Cancelled 13/12 Karlstad - Jager Cancelled 14/12 Falun - Cafe Lyktan Cancelled ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NON-SCANDINAVIAN: Beck (US) MCA/Geffen special guests; Cornershop MNW ILR *NEW* 25/11 Copenhagen (DK) - Vega ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The COMPLETE Motor Tour List can be found on the Scandinavian Indie WWW : http://www.lysator.liu.se/~chief/motor.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Date: Wed, 30 Oct 1996 03:45:05 +0100 (MET) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Re: wannadies On Mon, 28 Oct 1996, micre215@knuten.liu.se (Michael Rehnstrom) wrote: >>> Hm!

I wouldn't blame the band for something like that - I guess it's just something that has been waiting happen for quite some time now, and I've heard about a lot of "strange things" happening at MNW lately. For example, what was the last album you saw released on MNW (or any of it's sub-labels)? //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Oct 1996 11:55:27 +0000 (GMT) From: Sean Kyle-Price Subject: Re: Swedish indie on Latvian radio On Tue, 29 Oct 1996, SUK wrote: > Chris Forsberg wrote: > > tho I'd love to some day hear the FIRST Swedish Indie tape. > > Anyone know where it is currently?? > > Hmm, I feel a bit guilty here! :} I just returned from a lengthy stay in > South Africa/Botswana, and discovered the tape in my mail back here.

I've had it for over a week, sorry but I've been charging all round the UK recently and haven't gotten round to doing it yet.

Smale" Subject: hi! hi everyone! i'm new to this list, so i thought i'd introduce myself briefly and then ask a few questions. i got into this list from reading about scandinavian bands on the indiepop mailing list. i'm really into quite a few mostly swedish bands at the moment, mostly red sleeping beauty (+ associated projects) and popsicle and the cardigans but i also like cloudberry jam and komeda. on the other scandianvian bands tip i like super and false by west. most of what i know about scandinavian music comes from the indiepop list, and also from a tape made for me by sami during the indiepop list tape swap (sami are you on this list?). and now a quick question: by a fluke i am getting the opportunity to go to iceland for 3 days! i am really excited about this because i've wanted to go to iceland forever (i'm an archaeologist and a big science geek so i've always been into the geology of iceland). i'll be there from thursday november 28th to sunday december 1st, and will be staying in rejkyavik. could anyone tell me about any cool places to go/things to do? i checked the web site for this list and there doesn't seem to be anything going on in rejkyavik in terms of tours and stuff, but surely there must be some fun clubs and good record stores to peruse? anything that anyone can tell me would be most appreciated!!! anyway, i hope to learn much more about scandinavian music from the discussion on this list! thanks a lot! maura --------------------------------- Date: Thu, 31 Oct 1996 04:39:47 +0100 (MET) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Next Swedish Indie Tape Thoughts Hmm, considering a couple of "interest requests" I have received about the next Swedish Indie compilation, I'm thinking of putting the songs on a CD this time, to make it easier as well as getting better sound, no matter how many people make copies of it, but I don't have access to recordable CD equipment. Are there any thoughts on the list about this? Anyone in favor of, or against this project? And more important, does anyone have CDR equipment?! //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 31 Oct 1996 04:40:16 +0100 (MET) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: KonTur Tour List _Update_ [30-Oct-96] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scandinavian Indie KonTur Tour List UPDATE Scandinavian Indie October 30th, 1996 by Erik Soderstrom (chief@lysator.liu.se) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abhinanda 31/10 Ostersund Musikforum Venue Decided 3/11 Engelholm Magasinet New Date 4/11 Hassleholm Perrongen New Date 5/11 Alvesta Popcorner New Date 6/11 Vasteras Vaxhuset New Date 7/11 Oskarshamn Roque Club New Date 9/11 Orebro Rostagarden New Date 13/11 Karlstad Cafe Cinema New Date 14/11 Linkoping Skylten New Date De Lyckliga Kompisarna 2/11 Kungsbacka Kings Ton Venue Decided 17/11 Valbo Sofiedalskolan New Date 12/12 Borlange Cozmoz Venue Decided Staffan Hellstrand w/The Nomads 15/11 Helsingborg The Tivoli New Date Mother Superior *NEW* 30/11 Tranas Sobelhuset Anders F Ronnblom *NEW* 6/12 Malmo Viktoriateatern 7/12 Malmo Viktoriateatern Ulf Stureson *NEW* 9/11 Stockholm Studion ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The COMPLETE KonTur Tour List can be found on the Scandinavian Indie WWW : http://www.lysator.liu.se/~chief/kontur.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- Date: Thu, 31 Oct 1996 04:40:33 +0100 (MET) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Sin's Music on the Radio [04-Nov-96] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scandinavian Indie MUSIC ON THE RADIO Scandinavian Indie November 4th -> November 10th ***** This list is celebrating its 1 year anniversary today! ***** Day Date Artist Recorded --- ----- --------------------------------- -------------------------------- Mon 4/11 Suede Denmark, Midtfyn Festival -96 Tue 5/11 Apna Sangeet Stockholm, Re-Orient Festival -96 Wed 6/11 Faithless Stockholm, Gino 12-Oct-96 Thu 7/11 dEUS Stockholm, Gino 21-Oct-96 Sun 10/11 Presidents Of The USA (R) Stockholm, Studion 29-Mar-96 This list covers the Swedish National Channel P3's "Live" - always at 21.03 (R) = Rerun ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is also available on the Scandinavian Indie WWW pages at: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~chief/uprad.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------- End of SI Digest #3.46 ********************** * To subscribe/unsubscribe to the Digest version of the list, send your request to: scan-indie-d-request@lysator.liu.se * To subscribe/unsubscribe to the Live version of the list, send your request to: scan-indie-request@lysator.liu.se * All messages to the Scandinavian Indie mailing list should be sent to: scan-indie@lysator.liu.se * The maintainer of both mailing lists is: chief@lysator.liu.se, and can also be reached at: owner-scan-indie@lysator.liu.se * The digests can also be found in ASCII format at ftp.lysator.liu.se /pub/texts/uxu/SID and ftp.uwp.edu /pub/music/lists/scan-indie as well as in HTML format at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~chief/sid.html
