I have been working on recordings again. Will be resulting in some kind of a tour release, who knows what. December is the time, looking forward to it already. In the meantime. Mainly reading Thomas Bernhard and trying to stay busy. Not the best time of year for humans this autumn season. //B HELGEN V37 - 11-09-20 DECEMBER TOUR ALL BOOKED - 11-09-18 These are the dates for the shows in december together with Talking to Turtles and Sir Simon. 2011-12-08 DE Hamburg, Zentrale 2011-12-09 DE Berlin, HBC 2011-12-10 DE Erfurt, Franz Mehlhose 2011-12-11 DE Göttigen, Apex 2011-12-12 DE München, Cord 2011-12-13 DE Wiesbaden, Walhalla Studio 2011-12-14 DE Oberhausen, Druckluft 2011-12-15 DE Bielefeld, Forum 2011-12-16 DE Bremen, Zollkantine 2011-12-17 DE Hannover, Feinkost Lampe + Afternoon show TBA 2011-12-18 DE Hamburg, Hasenschaukel, Afternoon show WHAT! - 11-08-04 The Beard Man Betong Kamera Toilet SUMMER NEWS - 11-08-03 Folks, Summer is turning to august and the heat is beating down like a drumstick on my bare belly. I have written songs, a few really great ones. They are being recorded and hopefully this will end up on an album released in december just in time for the tour. I am recording at a theatre. A place I have been working at a bit lately. They´re closed for the summer and have lent me the whole place. I record on the actual stage and I must say it´s very nice. They have a great coffee machine and I have made a little den in the corner with a mattress and some blankets if I feel like sleeping. A truly mellow and slow recording process this time. Very much not at all in tune with my personality. Interesting. It is never too late to be in a bad mood. THE BEARD MAN - 11-07-08 Starting recordings today. What it will be we don´t know. Fjodor is with me. And Alfred. And Sture. The bearded men. BERNHARD / NONI / STEINER / KRAUSS / TOUR - 11-06-27 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A few things. First some inspiration then some informatik! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Great man. Check him out. Now. Especially all you austrians. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Chimney of Das Heizhaus (1914), Rudolf Steiner ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nicole Krauss´ new book is a brilliant thing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Noni For those who did not pick one up at the shows in April/May I still have a few copies left of the EP we recorded for the tour. 6 Euros including shipment. | Send me an email to order. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tour / release Going on a tour together with Talking to Turtles and Sir Simon in december. Should be really fun. Gonna play together just like me and Susanna and Erik did years ago. In time for that I play to bring out some kind of recording. What it will be we will see. Recordings starting in a few weeks. LISTEN - 11-06-09 Listen. Read. Take part. A heart spilled out for you. Be sensible. Study a man with know-how. Pierre Guillet De Monthoux. DJAGO BRÅK - 11-05-09 Tour is over. Fuck. It was great. As always. Or maybe not. I think it was better than usual. More dense. More for real. Was it? It is hard to tell. Hard to evaluate yourself and what you´ve been through. I felt like a king among men. Sleeping on floors now and then. Ray. Thanks for those words. I now know what they mean. The album is here. It´s a bastard of a collection of songs. I am really happy with the way it looks, sounds and smells. It smells a bit like an old Heman action figure. Or even a bit like I imagine fear and laughter might smell like when blended. Fuck the world. Next tour in the making. Planning right now. Why is this so exciting? Because life in general is not. And there is nothing general about touring. I met a drunk outside the dome in Köln. He had more to say to me than the Gothenburg freaks have had in a long time. I spoke about space with a father from Munich, spoke about football with a cab driver in Berlin, spoke about love with an ice cream woman in Hamburg. We talked about Klimt, Schiele and Hemingway. The last great man. It is so. I am free now. Another few days. Let go. LEFT AND LEAVING - 11-04-28 Last preparations for the tour. Daniel is NOT helping. He´s listening to noisy music and drinking beer. I change my mind. He IS helping. See you soon. TOUR / NONI - 11-04-24 Just a few days left until departure. Rehearsing and planning, having fun in my head. On tuesday the new trio will record a tour ep. It´ll feature 4-6 songs recorded live with a truckload of microphones. The title is Noni and the cover is being worked on by myself and photographer Simon Rydén. Check out his wonderful work here. It will be a limited release of 100 copies so be sure to stop my one of the dates to pick up a copy. (Alex. Lake Trouble is gonna be on it.) ÄNGLARNA - 11-04-15 Att läsa. Nu.
