Juliette Lewis - Hardly Wait

Juliette Lewis launched a career as a solo singer and musician, leading a group called Juliette and the Licks until 2009. After splitting with the Licks (Juliette announced the band was at the "end of its run." Explaining that she needed a change to grow as an artist), Juliette formed a new band called The New Romantiques, with whom she has recorded a new album entitled Terra Incognita. She had great success with the Licks by means of tunes as "You're Speaking My Language" and "Hot Kiss". Juliette also did a cover of PJ Harvey's "Hardly Wait" and "Rid of Me" in the film Strange Days before forming Juliette and the Licks. The band broke up in 2009. Juliette is out touring as you read this, tonight she will perform at Berns/Stockholm and will continue thru Europe, she the tour plan below.



Got her latest album the other day, it's produced by The Mars Volta’s Omar Rodriguez Lopez, it's a record with great variety and a rockish atmosphere. Juliette Lewis is not the best female singer, but she is a hell of a performer live and a thru festival act and she also is a terrific actress. “Hard Lovin’ Woman” is great blues rocking tune and "Fantasy Bar" power pop tune with Debbie Harry influences. In total i do like this.

Todays tune is taken from the movie "Strange Days" where she is performing the PJ Harvey's tune "Hardly Wait" Enjoy!



Here is a better version of the tune, but no movie.

Suicide - Ghost Rider

Suicide is an American synthpunk music duo intermittently active since 1971 and composed of vocalist Alan Vega and Martin Rev on synthesizers and drum machines. Listening to their self-titled 1977 debut from the vantage point of late 2002, it's all so obvious: the synthpop, techno, and industrial dance sounds of the '80s and '90s, and now the new New Wave of electroclash, all gesture back to that foundational album." You could say that they invented modern day synth-pop.



Suicide took their name from the title of a Ghost Rider comic book titled Satan Suicide, a favourite comic book of Alan Vega.

Todays tune "Ghost Rider" is taken from "Suicides first album aka 1977" the tune has been covered by R.E.M., The Horrors, The Gories, Rollins Band, The Sisters of Mercy, Merzbow and The Young Gods, and was featured in a Brazilian deodorant commercial in 2005.

Wolfmother - New Moon Rising

Wolfmother the Aussie hard rock band is back with a new album.
Friday was the offical day for the release of "Wolfmother's" new album "Cosmic Egg" the band is offering their entire album as a stream on their myspace profile now, so take a peak and listen, i have been listening to it for a few days now. And what i can tell from my point of view is that the band "Headman" Andrew Stockdale is doing a marvelous work with the writing and the musical composing of the "Cosmic Egg" together with his new band mates, The title of the album comes from a position in yoga described by vocalist and guitarist Andrew Stockdale as "like the fetal pose.

From the first banging riff to the last all with fantastic lyrics and great groove through the hole album so the conclusion of this is that this is a great follow up record. Cosmic Egg is a album that i do recomend for all rockers who like this sound to buy!

The 1st of February 2010 is a gig planned at Berns in Stockholm, see you there :)

Todays tune is New Moon Rising from Cosmic Egg, enjoy this rock piece.



More info @ Wolfmother's Official Website or Wolfmother at MySpace

Canadian radio station The Edge revealed, according to an interview with lead vocalist and guitarist Andrew Stockdale, that the song "was inspired by some very odd encounters he had after work," quoting him as saying the following:

“When I'd drive home, like at the end of the night, I'd see all these like native animals that I'd never seen in my entire life. Like, I was driving along and in the middle of the road was this four-foot-high koala. And I've never seen a koala! Another night I saw an animal with spikes all over it. So it was kind of bizarre, like, around the time of "New Moon Rising," I saw a lot of, like, wildlife that people even in that town said they'd never seen their whole life"

Muse - Uprising

Muse is a British alternative rock band that formed in Teignmouth, Devon in 1994. Since its inception, the band has comprised vocalist, guitarist and pianist Matthew Bellamy; bassist and backing vocalist Christopher Wolstenholme; and drummer Dominic Howard. Muse are known for their energetic and extravagant live performances and their fusion of many music genres, including progressive rock, classical music and electronica. Muse have released five studio albums – Showbiz (1999); Origin of Symmetry (2001); Absolution (2003); Black Holes and Revelations (2006) and The Resistance (2009).

Saturday was a Muse day here in Stockholm Sweden, Muse was playing at a sold out Hovet and did a marvelous gig.
And it was a very interesting day, second show on the tour so not everything was smooth and well organized as many other well oiled tour are, they arrived with 15-16 trucks (can't remember the exact number) and with many well know truck drivers that i have bumped into over the years. Also some of the crew was well know, so the Muse team was nice. I did mostly work for Lizzy and Paul, so they kept me busy for the hole saturday, nice guys indeed. Also had a chance to shoot so pictures during the day as u can see below, the live shoots is done by Thetania.
The opening act The horrors was not as i thought they might be, looked them up on the net before and they sounded ok, but they couldn't deliver live as i hoped they would do, might been a bad day for them.
Muse surely could act, a marvelous show with amazing lightning, well sounded and a nice set list :) Muse is a band that like to mix diffrent style to make their own, alot of Queen music with electronica and harder rock riffs, kinda cool.






Todays tune is the album's first single, "Uprising", was released on 7 September 2009.

Porcupine Tree - Time Flies

Porcupine Tree is a rock band formed by Steven Wilson in 1987 in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, England.
Frequently associated with both psychedelic rock and progressive rock, their sound engineer told me that Porcupine Tree is a mix between Tool and Pink Floyd witch is very accurate.



On September 15, Porcupine Tree released their newest album, The Incident, and are currently on tour for the remainder of the year. And a few days ago the entered the stage at Arenan/Stockholm for a show together with Swedish Katatonia. The crew was nice asusal, but in my opinion they had to much stuff for this venue :) everything went fine, even if the band/crew was 2½ hrs late. The gear on stage was put out on a exact position, carpet was rolled out so one in the crew got the nice job to be the hover man :), loads of gaffa were used to be able to keep the carpet and the wires on place.
To bad that I got ill this evening so I didn’t see the show only the sound check, but that sounded nice.

So todays tune is the single from the latest album, enjoy!

Saturday night they came to Stockholm, Annexet.
Did a great gig and their supportband was a girl named Martina,
a super singing girl with a long red dress, I was pretty impressed over her sampling of her own voice live.. great! She also sang in the band later on.

Massive Attack are a British music duo from Bristol, UK,
considered to be progenitors of a genre referred to as trip hop,
that assemble a collective of various favoured
session musicians and guest vocalists with
whom they make records and tour live.

Originally, DJ's Grantley "Grant" Marshall (Daddy G or "G"),
Andrew "Andy" Vowles (Mushroom or "Mush")
and painter-turned-MC Robert Del Naja (3D or "D")

homegrown soundsystems in Britain and a dominant and
eclectic force on the 1980s Bristolian club scene.
Starting out as a spin-off production trio in 1988,
with their independently-released song, "Any Love",
sung by falsetto-voiced singer-songwriter Carlton McCarthy.

They gonna let out a new album in 2010 named "LP5"

Enjoy people!

Cheers, Thetania

Amon Amarth - Guardians Of Asgaard

Amon Amarth is a Viking-themed melodic death metal band from Tumba, Sweden, founded in 1988 as Scum and changed the name to Amon Amarth when Johan Hegg joined the band, the band is named after an alternative name for Mount Doom, a location in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. And so far he band has released seven studio albums.
Amon Amarth consists of Johan Hegg − vocals, Johan Söderberg − guitar, Olavi Mikkonen − guitar, Ted Lundström − bass and Fredrik Andersson − drums. Amon Amarth played at Arenan two days ago with Entombed. Amon did a great gig with their melodic death metal, the show included plenty of fire flames and it was great to see the timings of it. The Crew was nice, consisted of mostly germans. A funny thing that happen behind the scene was when Amon Amarth was going to play a tune to honer Entombed and invited LG to team up on the vocal part, LG stood next to the stage and wanted to have some water, grabbed a bottle on the fly and took a sip when he notice that the bottle didn't content water as expected it was the fuel for the firebar :) You should have seen his face. Well he entered the stage and did a hell of a part on the tune.
Another interesting thing was that their guitar tech "Steve" is playing in a nice industrial metal band called "Engel" and a tune from them will come soonish on Tune Of The Day.
Here is some picture from the show.






So enjoy this tune!

Entombed - Damn Deal Done

Entombed is a Swedish death metal band which formed in 1987 under the name of Nihilist. Though Entombed began their career as an early pioneer of Scandinavian death metal, by the early 1990s their sound had broadened to include hardcore punk and other influences. This new style would eventually be described as death 'n' roll.

Yesterday did Entombed open up for Amon Amarth at Arenan/Stockholm on the European tour together with Evile, a UK Trash band. Sadly, just a few days into their tour, Evile's Mike Alexander was suddenly taken ill and rushed to hospital, but tragically passed away in Lulea, Sweden. RIP Mike. So the setup in Stockholm was with out Evile, to bad, i was looking forward to see them live.

Entombed delivered their metal as they usually do, LG was in top condition but with the classic flue, that you get around these years in Scandinavia. Entombed played tunes as Chief Rebel Angel, Wolverine blues, Serpent Saints, When in sodom, Eyemaster, Stranger Aeons, Damn deal done and Left hand path. It was a great gig and i was a pleasure to work with these guys, got some time off during the gig so i was able to shoot some pictures. But this is a busy weekend with alots of gigs and i mean alot. Just going to finish this up and jump into my car and off to Globen Area where Massive Attack is playing tonight.
And for tomorrow on the tune of the day i will continue on yesterdays gig at Arenan. But here is one picture at least from Entombed yesterday.



Todays tune "Damm Deal Done" is taken from the fourth album "DCLXVI: To Ride Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth", released in 1997. DCLXVI is 666 in Roman numerals.

Nickelback - Burn It To The Ground

Nickelback is a Canadian rock band from Hanna, Alberta, formed in 1995. Founded by members Chad Kroeger, Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake and then-drummer Brandon Kroeger. Nickelback is one of the most commercially successful Canadian groups, having sold 30 million records worldwide. Its name originates from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger gave customers at his Starbucks job, he would frequently say, "Here's your nickel back". The band is signed to EMI in Canada and Roadrunner Records for the rest of the world. In July 2008, the band signed with Live Nation for three touring and album cycles, with an option for a fourth cycle. The contract includes recordings, touring, merchandise and other rights.



"Burn It to the Ground" is the fourth single (fifth single in Canada after I'd Come for You) released off Nickelback's sixth studio album Dark Horse. It is featured on the soundtrack for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and can be heard in the background during a party scene, in the film. On this ode to getting drunk, and "burning it to the ground," frontman Chad Kroeger sings about drinking "everything in sight." The song is a Def Leppard-style arena anthem, and one that Nickelback are currently performing on their Dark Horse World Tour, where Kroeger usually begins the song by saying "this song is the theme song of my life." And in the beginning of next year they will come to Europe for a few gigs and hopefully they will make a stop in Sweden.

Enjoy!

Best Rock Album for American Idiot,
and Record of the Year for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams".

The band also joined the lineups of both the
Lollapalooza festival and Woodstock 1994,
where they started an infamous mud fight.
During the concert, a security guard mistook
bassist Mike Dirnt for a stage-invading fan and
punched out some of his teeth.
Viewed by millions via pay-per-view television,
the Woodstock 1994 performance further aided Green Day's
growing publicity and recognition,
and helped push its album to eventual diamond status.

Here is a Tune from their latest album "21st Century Breakdown"
(the 8th studio album)

Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way

Fleetwood Mac was in town!
Boy was that a nostalgic trip!!

Even if the band enjoyed more modest success in the
intervening period between 1971 and 1974, it was a big thrill!

Fleetwood Mac is
Lindsey Buckingham
Mick Fleetwood
John McVie
Stevie Nicks

I saw some sad articles about em after but F**K The Duck
This was good! Their songs still holds!
I was very amazed over that Lindseys gitarr solo....AWESOME!
Although Stevie Nicks was a bit stiff but hey, she is 61 year old.
AWESOME :)

They had 6 screens thats called led wall, (light-emitting diode wall)
That were attached in each corner so they can slide
down up and on the side etc..
These were behind and above them,
one can sadly not see em so good in this video.

Fleetwood Mac are a British rock band formed in 1967
which have experienced a high turnover of personnel
and varied levels of success.

Much drama surrounded the band, The marrige between
the first girl that sang for Fleetwood Mac Christine McVie
and the bass player John McVie.
And also Lindsey and Stevie had a romantic relationship
that also ended under the same year 1976, even Mick was
divorcing his wife Jenny, this was a hard time for Fleetwood Mac.

Pressure was put on Fleetwood Mac to release a successful
follow-up album, which, when combined with its new-found wealth,
led to creative and personal tensions,
fuelled by large amounts of drug and alcohol consumption.

So its quite a thing that the band its still alive and rocking!
Think they broke up 1995 but reformed in March of 1997.
In 1998 Christine McVie left the band.

But even then THEY CONTINUED...Amazing..

The group did 17 studio albums and around 6 live one´s

Damn Im talking here...

The video Im showing to u have a e-mail on it, ignore it if u want :)
It was the best sound and lights on that one, so excuse me !

Ill give you Go my own way that comes from the album that they
did under the hard and dramatic period I told u about
and its name is "Rumours"

Enjoy Ladys and Gentlemen`

Peace, Thetania

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood

Stevie Ray Vaughan (born Stephen Ray Vaughan; October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990) was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. Texas Flood is an electric blues album released in 1983. Although "Texas Flood" has three verses of lyrics, the song is more of a long guitar solo, allowing Vaughan to show off his characteristic electric blues style. More popular than any blues album in nearly twenty years, Texas Flood was a surprise success for Vaughan. The album was recorded in only three days, at Jackson Browne's personal recording studio, in 1982 since the band had been playing many live sets beforehand.



Enjoy this Long version of the great Texas Flood.

Europe - Start From The Dark

I just have to show u some more Europe.
This is a totally blowout for me as I have always been into
hard rock as Sabbath and Led Zeppelin as a youngster and now
even harder stuff.
Europe has always been a bit "not hard enough"

Then Europe released "Start from the dark"....
I heard them on the radio and just runned
and bought it and even BOUGHT a ticket to their concert in
Hovet (I rarely buy as work with concerts).
But I couldnt miss it...Sitting there and damn even "Final Countdown"
was a thrill.. I was amazed!
Got gose bums when the sound battered,
and the whole Hovet continue to sang the song for about 3 minutes.

NEWS!!!!!
Europe have a gig here in Stockholm at the 28th of December 2009.
Im gonna work thats for sure :D

Ah well here is the the song with the same name!

DIG IT!

Love, Thetania

Alice In Chains - Check My Brain

Alice in Chains is an American rock band formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1987 by guitarist Jerry Cantrell and vocalist Layne Staley. The band is known for its distinct vocal style which often included the harmonized vocals of Staley and Cantrell.
Alice in Chains was plagued by extended inactivity due to Layne Staley's problems with substance abuse, culminating in his death in 2002. They reunited in 2005 with new lead vocalist William DuVall and released Black Gives Way to Blue, their first studio album in 14 years, on September 29, 2009.
So how does this new album sound like?
Even if replacing Staley is not the easiest way to do and it needs some guts to make it real and also to keep the status and be able to make any success with the upgrade of a already existing trademark.



New singer William DuVall – a hardcore singer from Atlanta, Georgia and has a voice and a way to sing that is almost the same as Staley.
The new album is truly deliver the trademark of Alice In Chains,
tunes as the single Check My Brain has the great melodic sound with great riffs and a chorus that you could build a supermarket on.
The title track is a touching ballad with guest appearance by Elton John and it's a tribute to Layne Staley, or the tune A Looking In View with the Psychedelic touch of Pop with real heavy guitar riffs almost that Cantrell is have been dreaming of Tony Iommi.


The fact that Alice in Chains still sound like Alice in Chains means that Staley’s tainted talent will never be forgotten, Black Gives Way to Blue is an overwhelming great album and its highly recommended.
