Gotta go go!

We rocked up at the harbour in Gothenburg and the sun was baking. First up was C Arme, and they did a resonable gig in the sunshine. Sort of emopunk and at their best they reminded me of Sounds Like Violence, which is the pride of Scania. Then we had to take a stop in the beer tent. Drained tastless lager poured in plastic glasses, fantastic! Fortunately we barely have time to drink it and interact with a terrorist as well as a big screen producer, before Hellacopters take us out of our misery.

Hopeless case of a kid in denial
Long gone loosers
Soulseller
No song unheard
Grace of God
Everything is on TV
Gotta get some action

..and probably some more high quality garage rock is what they dish up for us and working my way towards the pit, I eat it all up and lick the plate. This is a band that keeps rock and roll real. I have supported them for years now and even though their albums are going the wrong way, live is where they're always at!

Backyard Babies changed my life early 1998 with their concert at the Old Jazzhouse in Gothenburg, when they where releasing their Total 13. However, nowadays, their albums suck, their performance suck and it seems like they have been nutered cause the energy is not there anymore. Nicke used to dominate the crowd with his kick ass attitude. And what's up with the "Clap your hands Gothenburg", you wanna lead Allsång på Skansen? Anys, the songs Subcultural hero and Made me Madman almost bring me back to that special place you once showed me. Thanks for the memories.

Millencolin on the other hand is exploding on stage. Energylevels up and just rip through their set. Not having brought Kingwood is a drawback, and at the merch stand they only sell t-shirs and girlies. But they go off! The medley, in the extra, is a nice one, where a lot of the old stuff at least gets aired.

All in all it was well worth the trip. Funny moment 1 was when a 14 year girl grabbed hold of me a shouted "Strömstad" during the Hellacopters gig. Apparently she saw me there during last weeks concert. It's a small world and her friend was wearing braces.
