friends, lovers and thieves,
back home in Sweden. haven't seen the sun since I came back....long gray days and it's not easy getting up in the morning...especially when you are out of coffee.......
the tour was great, this time our line-up was:
Gustav Haggren - vocals, guitar, mandolin
Jon Mattsson - Bass, vocals
Victor Widerberg - Guitar
Helena Arlock - cello, piano, vocals
Björn Ehrenstråle - drums
our original drummer Patrik Andersson got a bad stroke of tinnitus and has to take a break from playing for 4 months, he'll get back stronger and better than ever though.
One week before the tour was going to start we called Björn and asked if he wanted to join us. He didn't hesitate, didn't ask any questions..just said 'sure' and that was that. we are very grateful he could join us for these shows, fun guy too.
People in Sweden keep asking us why we play more shows in Germany than in Sweden but I guess you have to be there to know. We know and you know.
Here is a clip from OBA-Live in Amsterdam:
New plans coming up for next year. This year I have my one more solo-tour in the end of November. I am going back to Italy and I am quite excited. This time I will play a few shows with Wendy Mcneill and Jack Harris.
After that I will take some time off and do some recordings..finish songs I started earlier this year..
talk to you later
Gustav.
