The Baseballs - Candy Shop

 

The Baseballs visited Sweden last week, including a gig at Klubben here in Stockholm, the cuddly boys did a nice appearance with their cheerful rockabilly, the crowd was absolutely crazy. Had a sauna chat with "Basti" which had been completely sold on this washing invention and have invested in a sauna at home in germany.
Basti said that the standard accessories to a sauna was quite impossible to buy at home. So he was really happy when he could find these things at the hardware store here in Stockholm.

The Baseballs are a German rock and roll band founded in Berlin in 2007. They became popular with rock cover versions of modern hits such as "Umbrella" by Rihanna and "Hot n Cold" by Katy Perry.

In 2010 the band supported guitarist Jeff Beck on his "Emotion and Commotion" tour as his opening act.

On first August 2011 The Baseballs released together with General Mills – the producer of the ice cream Häagen-Dazs – within an advertising campaign with Cosma Shiva Hagen a free download of the song "Wha Wha" – which was written especially for the campaign. The track is freely available and can be downloaded from the german site of the brand Häagen-Dazs, or click here to get it!

Eric Clapton - My Father's Eyes

Eric Clapton visited Stockholm on Wednesday in the Globe.
Claptonhas been out on this tour since january this year,

A friend asked me if he was old and tired....NAH not a bit.
The man had grown longer hair and still have that bright look in his eyes, and did still have the same finger fastness as he always had. Clapton had some seated tunes mixed with faster standing onces. A perfect mix! The audience was really mixed in the ages and all of em seemed to have a ball!

This man devoted to the blues, and he play and sings like a god!
Clapton was influenced by the blues from an early age and practiced long hours to learn chords of blues music he listened to, playing along to the records.
He preserved his practice sessions using his portable Grundig reel-to-reel tape recorder, listening to them over and over until he felt he'd got it right.
Clapton cites Freddie King, B.B. King, Albert King, Buddy Guy, and Hubert Sumlin as guitar playing influence.



When he was younger his friends was all kinda familiar dudes, sutch as Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, George Harrison etc.

Beside going solo he has been in the following bands:
The Yardbirds
John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers
Cream
Blind Faith
Delaney & Bonnie and Friends
The Plastic Ono Band
Derek and the Dominos

Clapton have a done a big bunch of albums with all of them and a huge pile solo albums. The latest came out in 2010 and were named just Clapton.

Clapton´s Stage Manager Michael, is a fantastic 63 year old man that been in the business since 1963 and been with Clapton since 1984 I think it was. Michael or Mikie that the others called him, had full control over what happended on his stage and when and all the dudes around him, loved to see him swinging his magic touch over the arena.
Here is me and Mikie in the Globe Garage. Just loved that cool guy!!

Rival Sons - Sleepwalker

Hey there People!

I found it!!!!!!!
The band that plays good music with a touch of the 70´s but not really :) hehe.
This is awesome, totally freckin´great.

It´ll get ure toughts to Led Zeppelin and other goodies but with a new coat :)

Who are they??
Well, they are a Blues/rock band from Los Angeles, US.
Line-up: Lead Vocals: Jay Buchanan, Guitar: Scott Holiday, Bass: Robin Everhart Drums: Mike Miley History.
They were formed in 2008.

Michael Duncan on Rock Edition did an interview with Jay in april:
"Most of my idols are blues guys. This is the first rock ‘n’ roll band that I’ve ever been in. I never had an appetite to play rock ‘n’ roll. I grew up on the blues and soul music. Honestly, I always thought rock ‘n’ roll and these rock bands — the music was good — but when it came down to it so much of it seemed like foolish posturing and not very honest, except for just a few bands. You get into Led Zeppelin growing up — who doesn’t love Led Zeppelin? Or The Doors. But even with Led Zeppelin it’s like, “Aw, there’s faggy Robert Plant setting white doves free from the stage.”

Then you got Jim Morrison putting out shitty poetry and acting like he’s getting shot on stage. Tone it down, man. You know, it always goes over that line, but it has to go over that line if it’s going to ride the edge. So, I get it. I like true rock, like real honest stuff, where you go back to like Buddy Holly and the Crickets. Listen to “Not Fade Away” — there’s ghosts coming off of that vinyl. You can picture, smell and feel these kids sweating it out in this one room studio in Lubbock, Texas. If you listen to what The Jeff Beck Group did on the ‘Truth’ album, that’s serious shit — it’s really good! They were a bunch of young dudes hopped up on the blues and just swinging as hard as they could. Yeah, man. There’s a lot of good rock that’s been made."

They will release their debut album worldwide entitled “Pressure & Time” in June 2011.
