Making the new record, #1

Hi friends, it has been a while. I've gotten so into this blogging thing so today I am going to take the next obvious step. Ladies and boys, I am going to Vlog. Yes, that is correct. Yesterday we started the work for our next record and it was such a ride to play together with Patrik and Jon again - the extraordinary rhythm section. So you will be able to follow GATSS in the studio, I will try to catch the fights and the tears too - promise.

Also, there will most likely be a return to the US in the July and this time I am going to travel with the Seasick Sailors. I am really excited about that. We will do a band show at Bar Matchless in Brooklyn, NY (557 Manhattan Avenue & Driggs) on July 19th. More shows coming.

Don't miss the live version of Vagabonds Polka on the myspace, live from Swedish Radio P3.

ok, back to my VLOG. enjoy people.

USA/CANADA tour completed. Thank you.

Sweden is the same, nothing has changed, I need to get back out there as soon as possible, rumours says that I'll be back in USA in July, some festivals are being planned in Sweden, new record is going to be recorded, do I need a job(?), big coco bingo tour in Europe in the fall,

the track "desperate man meets desperate life" is the 5th song on my Myspace, free for download.

to keep up with my story, we did a great show in Toronto before we crossed the border to Buffalo where we met a bunch of wonderful people. we did a third and last show at melodic revolution and I got a birthday cake in the middle of my set, love you guys.

we ended the the tour where it had begun, in New york city at Bar Matchless. That show was unbelievable, the perfect ending. The last day Christian drove us to the airport and then in a seond it was all over.
