Electric Boys - Father Popcorn's Magic Oysters

 

Rockicon Conny Bloom and his Electric Boys broke through in the late 80's and became one of the biggest rock band with a variety of international success. After several years of residence was reunited group in 2009 and the response was complete.

After a compilation album, they came last spring with "And Them Boys Done Swang", the first Electric Boys album since 1994. We hear several new songs, but also some of the hits from the past when the Electric Boys with the original composition (Conny Bloom, Andy Christell, Franco Santunione and Niclas Sigevall) enters the "Musikplatsens" live scene in the Radiohuset earlier today, during lunch time.

It was thanks to a work colleague who persuaded me to spend my lunch at the "Radio House" and I'm not one to bang for a little adventure. It was actually really nice, the guys were incredibly tight and it rocked on really well, nice to hear them new tracks live. Thanks Jojje for this.

Of the any event, I had brought my camera so I got some pictures which I gladly share with me.

Todays tune "Father Popcorn's Magic Oysters" is taken from the compilation album "And Them Boys Done Swang"

Some time ago the band wrote on the Electric Boys Facebook page, asking if there is any creative fans out there making videos. The respons has been very good so they decided to take it a bit further and let YOU, the next possible video director hot shot, make a video for Electric Boys!!

We will look at your vids and choose the best one. It will be published all over the net along with your name as the new Electric Boys video.

Gösta Berlings Saga - 354

 

Yes then it was Friday again, a weekend with lots of music and one birthday party, as one family member having her birthday today, it is the smallest one that has lost her first tooth and turns 5 years. This is of course will be celebrated with both the cake and pink balloons, but we are waiting with that to Sunday when all her friends arrives, then we will have a full house of kids.

Music wise this weekend, oh thank you, there are lots of bands to see. If you are into some Laidback Jazzy style, why not take the boat to Gröna Lund and watch Bo Kaspers Orkester, or a mini festival in Sollentuna with Electric Boys and some others, or if you are into more popish stuff, why not visit the Indie Pop festival Popaganda at Eriksdalsbadet here in Stockholm that is going on for two days, I will be working there tomorrow, so more info about that on Sunday. We also have Dolly Parton on the Globe tomorrow. But last but not least, it's Saturday Wage Goes Pay Weekend(Lönelördag Goes Lönehelg), What We Do Is Secret & Fritz's Corner arrange a music event at the Strand, including Kurt Vile, Den Sista Viljan, Göst Berlings Saga and Bombus, unfortunately I will miss this, dastardly!

Today I intend to "kill two birds with one stone" and pick a nice song from What We Do Is Secret event at the Strand and Children liked fairy tales, so then Gösta Berlings Saga suits in perfectly:)

Gösta Berlings Saga was formed in 2004 by Alexander Skepp (Drums), David Lundberg (Fender Rhodes), Gabriel Hermansson (Bass) and Mathias Danielsson (Guitars).

The latest album, entitled “Glue Works” has more of a give and take approach to recording than their earlier works. Instrumentally much more captivating, with all kinds of unforgettable sounds the songs expands the bands musical universe even further. Compositionally the songs have become both more straight forward and more multifaceted when it’s called for.  Mattias Olsson was the producer and mix the whole album.

Todays tune "354" is taken from GBS latest record "Glue Works" It's a nice tune from this well-oiled quartet.

OZZY OSBOURNE AS THE RECORD STORE DAY AMBASSADOR 2011. A brief message from the man himself:





Last year, a man in Maine sat down with his video camera to go through some of the cool things that had been arriving at his stores (Bull Moose) lately. That man was Chris Brown, who happened to think up the idea of Record Store Day in the first place, and his video featuring some of the pieces scheduled for release on Record Store Day 2010 was a big hit. Some of you have specifically requested that he do it again, and Chris is a good guy, so he sat down with his trusty camera and some releases you just might have on your wish list for Record Store Day 2011. Ladies and Gentlemen, without further ado: CHRIS BROWN AND THE RELEASES OF RECORD STORE DAY (appearing all week, remember to tip your waitress)

Record Store Day 2011 releases
