First of all: Sorry for the extreme delay between the gig and the blog :-/…

Fängelset, which means “the prison”, is a venue situated in the eastern parts of Gothenburg. As the name implies, the venue is an old jail rebuild into an “all activities facility” for people under 20, which of course is a really good thing. We played together with LPG and a band called “sweetheart the drunk”, who actually suffered a massive shortage of band members that week, still showing up doing a descent support gig. Respect. LPG did a great show as usual, although their drummer manage to break his kick pedal in the first song. well, well. They just said: -this is how we’re doing it in Holland, and then they started all over with the song again as if nothing happened :-).

It was really nice to gig at Fangelset again. We played there a few years ago together with “Oholics”. That time without Erik, since he was really ill. That was maybe one of our worst gigs ever, but this time we really enjoyed ourselves. It was a great feeling seeing people in the audience singing along in our tunes, thanks!

Most of us was extremely tired after the gig on the 29th of Oct in Halmstad and luckily we had a very nice day off in between the gigs (which some of us spend working after only 2 hours of sleep!). Lpg did a classic mistake that night though. They left their van in a parking garage and when they got there by midnight, the garage was closed. They had to take a cab from down town Gothenburg to Kungälv (Martins apartment) in order to be able to get home at all that night.

Before the gig at Fangelset I took LPG around town to show them some good record stores (yes kids, some of us actually BUY records these days…) and a nice Indonesian restaurant. After at least an hour at Bengan’s -Gothenburgs finest record store, me, Ilana and LPG left the store with a huge pile of records.

Take care!
