Riding with Dan Stuart
June 29th, 2014
In May we had the pleasure to do a shortish two-gig tour with “the grumpiest man in showbusiness” ex-Green on Red frontman Dan Stuart. But it didn´t take many seconds of twanging before he was all smiles – as you can see from this 15 minutes clip from Southside Cavern, Stockholm, May 10th.

This week our pals The Cynz from New Jersey are coming to Sweden.

And now they´re playing with us in Eskilstuna, Stockholm and Uppsala. Can´t wait!

Getting ready to take Manhattan… and Brooklyn… and New Jersey – but first we take the Pet Sounds Bar

“Sorry it took so long, but we were just tuning.” Just like everybody else we were devastated to hear the news about Lou Reed´s passing. And now this quote from his Live Take No Prisoners album comes to mind. So sorry for having neglected this page for a while. But we´ve been busy tuning. Tuning this rock and roll machine of ours into perfection for our first plunge across the Atlantic pond.
