Their concert was great, with a lots of fire and smoke.. the backstage was so full of smoke we couldnt see the end of the corridor (its not that long) They had a big steel sign with HF on it, where it came fire from. Pretty cool effect. I took some pictures that u can see above.

In 2005, founders Bloom and Christell had joined Hanoi Rocks. The band reformed in 2009, really looking forward to hear some new stuff from these guys. They will do some live shows during this summer, including some festivals like Sweden Rock Festival next weekend.

The three founding members of Groundation (Harrison Stafford, Marcus Urani and Ryan Newman) join forces with the legendary Jamaican drummer Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace (who worked with numerous reggae artists including The Gladiators, Inner Circle, Prince Far I, Sound Dimension, Burning Spear and Ijahman Levi.) and the grammy nominated Jazz guitarist Will Bernard (has played with many musicians including Jai Uttal and the Pagan Love Orchestra, The Coup, Robert Walter's 20th Congress, MG5 (formerly Frequinox), Idris Muhammad, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Zigaboo Modeliste, Groundation and the Stanton Moore Trio.) to form Rockamovya. The name comes from Leroy Horsemouth Wallace, Jamaican patios style and is meant to show the unity and power of the music.
The sound is fresh and little different from the Groundation works, but it remains deeply rooted in Reggae and Jamaican popular music with influences of Soul and Jazz. Harrisons voice is still very powerful, so you can feel the Groundation rhythms. This is a record i can recommend to all fans of Groundation.

IAMX is the solo musical project of Chris Corner. IAMX is more electronic than Sneaker Pimps, triphop style is no longer, still you can hear that Corner is behind the mic. Yesterday IAMX visit Debaser/Stockholm Sweden for a gig. To be honest, this is the first time that i heard IAMX. The guys and the crew was really nice, lay´d back and didn't hurry or had that typical on tour stress, but when all the gear was in and it got time for building the stage, then i got a bit suspicious a golden trojan horse entered the stage, it wasn't the big one as in the Troja Movie, it was a small saddle horse. Well the gig was not bad at all, even if I'm not to fancy about Electronica. Corner has a good voice and hell of a stage attitude, he is a star indeed. The other guys did very well, Tom smashed the drums skins heavily, Janine shanked as she was in a rockband and so did Dean.
Was out for some drum shopping at Hellstone with Tom (Drummer) and yes he found what he was looking for. Todays tune is Spit It Out from the album "The Alternative" Enjoy
Sneaker Pimps are a British Trip-hop band formed in Hartlepool, England in 1995(Wikipedia) and IAMX website (1989). Sneaker Pimps are best known for their first album Becoming X (1996). They took their name from an article the Beastie Boys published in their Grand Royal magazine about a man they hired to track down classic sneakers.
The band's founding members were Chris Corner and Liam Howe (both ex-DJs), who then recruited Kelli Dayton (formerly of Lumieres, now recording under the name Kelli Ali) for vocal duties. But when they started to work with thier second album, on which Corner provided the guide vocals was better suited his voice, especially in regard to the more raw, personal quality of the lyrics. Corner became the singer and Dayton was asked to leave the group.
Atm Corner is out with his Solo thing (IAMX) more of that tomorrow. Todays tune is an old tune from thier Becoming X and with Dayton on vocal.
Was over to my neighbor and Mr Stones searched in his shelf of cd´s and he playd this song, never heard them b4 but they were pretty awesome.

This tune comes from the album "Time" witch they did 1994.
Thin Lizzy, the Irish hard rock band got into my mind again. Was listening to "Dedication: The Very Best of Thin Lizzy"
The only previously unreleased track from that record was "Dedication", which was reconstructed after Phil Lynott's death using an old 8 track demo recording of the song (originally recorded around 1981) to provide the bass and vocal lines, with new guitar and drum parts added by Scott Gorham and Brian Downey.
Deportees is a Swedish band from Vindeln/Umeå that consists of Peder Stenberg (Vocal), Anders Stenberg (gitarr), Thomas Hedlund (Trummor) and Mattias Lidström (keyboard). The Band started in 2003 when the members rented a studio to record a few songs that they had prepared for, including the debutesingle "Arrest Me 'til it Hurts" – a peculiar tune with influences of pop, funk, country and some Prince.
After a year of touring in Sweden and a visit to USA, they begun a co-work with the producers Pelle Gunnerfeldt and Björn Yttling. And in spring 2006 did a new single see the light "Damaged Goods" a little more darker, but still as peculiar as the first album.

The band was all girls and yes they played great, tight and well played. I really liked the guitar player Bibi McGill, she was the one that you will notice. Great player. Well it was a perfect show for the fans, everything was done in perfectly, well rehearsed.

Last Sunday Girugamesh visit Sweden/Klubben on their Crazy Tour 09' and give a screaming audience a hell of a show. Its kinda cool a this type of music has fans so dedicated that they put up tents 3-4 days before the show, just to get the first spots to enter. This time it was great, the opening act had call in sick so only the main band was able to perform witch in other hand gave us the opportunity to do more detail work and a better chance to know the guys, witch helps when the gig is over. I also got a song for taking pictures with my newly bought system camera, but im still on the novice level to be able to make any decent picture, but i got some, also took some with my pocket camera as i usually do, got two snapshots for you guys.
First is a shot on Яyo's drums, notice the small teddy bears hanging on the set :) They had loads of it that fans throws up on stage.
Second picture is a shoot from the last tune of the evening.

One more day of Mr Joe Bonamassa, as Thetania wrote it was great evening at Berns/Stockholm. This was the first time that i was able to see him live, got a few records with him that i do like. Oh boy this was a great one, beat the time with my foot the whole show and thats is kinda rearly these days as you get kinda jaded during the years with shows every second day. Some of the tunes really hit my soul and i really like that he plays with the tunes and has one finger in every style, but the style he masters the best is the blues witch i believe if he continue will be a real master at as he really can handle the guitar already.
As for yesterdays tune Joe's dream really came thru when he got the chance to play with one of his heroes "Eric Clapton" That most be part of the best day of his life.
Got a few snap shoots from the evening. The first one is when he having fun with a flying v and playing some harder stuff.
Second one was a amazing part of the show when he took his acoustic and showed that he really mastered a piece of wood.

John Henry is an American folk hero, famous for having raced against a steam powered hammer and won, only to die in victory with his hammer in his hand. He has been the subject of numerous songs, stories, plays, and novels.
He gave us both real blues and real Hard rock, He dropped some weight since last time he was here in Debaser Stockholm, that concert wasent that much hard rock that he gave us this time. His new album is full of it, totally my taste to be honest but i love his blues as well, its called "The Ballad of John Henry".
He had a accustic part as well man he smacked Al Dimeola on his fingers but just a bit. Both flamenco style and hm..everything in one :)
Joe picked up a wing gitarr and started to play real hard rock in the song "just got paid", he showd the devils fingers and started his marvelous gitarr playing, gotta show u some, i thing we will have some pictures ready for tomorrow and ill talk with my parter to show the video with this song.

Other songs that i really liked on the new album is Sommardisco and Svärmors brudpolska. Those tunes really show who still is kings of the proggs :)

Metallica is in Stockholm after their vacation in the States. I think they have some kinda deal that they tour 2 weeks then they go home a while and then tour again and so on.. So James get home to his family and stay out problems i guess, as long its working..go ahead!
Last time they were here they only did one show and cancelled the second. I was working at another show that evening and saw a guy who saw that show, he didnt think it was all that good. I saw them last year, then they were awesome.
Here is an old song that i wanted to share with u guys.
In my youth I saw a band called Wasa Express in a place called Mariahissen, thought they were amazing. So i looked if they had any video..and Yes i found not one, i found several...
This band is very jazzy and in some of the songs pretty much funky as well. They begun to play in 1976 and did 4 albums under a 4 years period.
They still play together but only the drummer and the keyboardist is left from the old Wasa Express.
