Anyone searched the 'net? Anyone want to search the 'net? :-) * Maybe under "record companies/labels" in the Finnish phone book even? Well, it was raining outside and I had nothing special to do, so I made a search and in fact found this from the home page of another Kouvola-based band Going Public (the enlightened Mr. Rouhento opined that the debut release of the Hipnose label was a Going Public release; the catalogue number of the Homespun disc was 002) Hipnose Records P.O.BOX 8 45151 Kouvola Finland Tel: +358 51 3720 601 (Timo Ranta) +358 40 5570 900 (Jasu) Fax: +358 51 3115 335 No e-mail address given to the label, but I think you can write to the one given for Going Public as it seems like that T. Ranta guy is somehow associated with both GP and Hipnose... The address is tranta@kylmedia.fi if you want to check out the Going Public home page, there is a link on my 'Finnish Indie' page, at http://www.uta.fi/~trkisa/findies.html Hope this was useful.

Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait for their debut CD. I can really recommend their single debut "Tune In Your Superswirls" which is really great. The title track is some kind of menacing understated hypnotic synth indie, and it's really simplistic. In fact it fits pretty nicely with other simplistic gems from the history of pop music: Jesus, Girl In Black, I Love You Eddie etc.. And then there's the trip-hop track called "Rock'n'roll" and some dance mixes of "Tune In Your Superswirls". Great single. Can't wait for the album. -ulf http://www.abc.se/~m9656/ ------------------------------- Date: Sat, 6 Jul 1996 03:46:41 +0200 (MET DST) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Sin's Music on the Radio [22-Jul-96] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scandinavian Indie MUSIC ON THE RADIO Scandinavian Indie July 22nd -> July 28th Day Date Artist Recorded --- ----- -------------------------------- --------------------------------- Mon 22/7 The Walkabouts (R) Gothenburg, Underground 03-Mar-96 Tue 23/7 The Oyster Band (R) Stockholm, Gino 15-Nov-95 Wed 24/7 Papa Dee Sundsvall, Gatufesten -96 Thu 25/7 tba Sun 28/7 Magnus Sj|holm, Blue Food J|nk|ping, 1996 This list covers the Swedish National Channel P3's "Live" - always at 21.03 (R) = Rerun ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is also available on the Scandinavian Indie WWW pages at: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~chief/uprad.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------- Date: Sat, 6 Jul 1996 03:47:38 +0200 (MET DST) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Sin's Upcoming Promotion Visits [06-Jul-96] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scandinavian Indie UPCOMING PROMOTION VISITS Scandinavian Indie July 6th, 1996 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 Year Bitch (Warner) 31/8-3/9 Gothenburg, Stockholm, Lund Backstreet Boys (BMG) 7/8 Stockholm Buddy Guy (BMG) 26-27/7 Stockholm Bumblebees (Sony) 26-27/7 Stockholm George Clinton (Sony) 26-27/7 Stockholm Deep Purple (BMG) Jun/Jul In Sweden Dirty Three (MNW ILR) 26-27/7 Stockholm Einsturzende Neubauten (MNW ILR) 26-27/7 Stockholm Electronic (Virgin) 5-8/7 (probably) Fu Manchu (MNW ILR) 19-20/7 Hedemora Garbage (BMG) 5/8 Stockholm High Llamas (Sony) 26-27/7 Stockholm Leftfield (Sony) 26-27/7 Stockholm Lionrock (BMG) 26-27/7 Stockholm Manic Street Preachers (Sony) 26-27/7 Stockholm Jeff Mills (Sony) 26-27/7 Stockholm Monkey Mafia (BMG) 26-27/7 Stockholm Nefilim (MNW ILR) 19-20/7 Arvika Northern Uproar (BMG) 26-27/7 Stockholm Oasis (Sony) 7/8 Stockholm Prodigy (MNW ILR) 26-27/7 Stockholm Patti Smith (BMG) 9/8 Stockholm Suede (Sony) 5/8 Stockholm Underworld (BMG) 26-27/7 Stockholm Wu Tang Clan (BMG) 26-27/7 Stockholm Young Gods (MNW ILR) 19-20/7 Arvika ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you need to know who to contact, e-mail me for further details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jul 1996 03:47:04 +0200 (MET DST) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Sin's Music on the Radio [29-Jul-96] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scandinavian Indie MUSIC ON THE RADIO Scandinavian Indie July 29th -> August 4th Day Date Artist Recorded --- ----- --------------------------------- -------------------------------- Mon 29/7 Mike Flowers Pops Hultsfred Festival, 14-Jun-96 Tue 30/7 Sigge Hill Sundsvall, Skippers 26-Apr-96 Wed 31/7 Basic Element Ume}, 1996 Thu 1/8 Madball, Samiam Bergslagsrocken 96 Sun 4/8 Foo Fighters (R) Stockholm, Cirkus 17-Oct-95 This list covers the Swedish National Channel P3's "Live" - always at 21.03 (R) = Rerun ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is also available on the Scandinavian Indie WWW pages at: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~chief/uprad.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------- Date: Sat, 6 Jul 1996 03:51:12 +0200 (MET DST) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Drain & Monostar gigs If you happen to be in the UK, you might as well go and see Drain!

I think it is great to finally get to hear news from these countries on the list - and that Madona festival in Latvia sounds extremely interesting! It is just too bad that it is at the same time as the Trastocksfestivalen in Skelleftea as I would have loved to be there! Do you know which bands that will play at that festival by the way? > Complete list of bands, which take a part in "Rock Summer Riga 1996": [snip] > 14th July: 14.00 "Jauns Meness" (New Moon) > 16.00 "Ultima Thule" > 18.00 "The Mike Flowers Pops" > 20.00 "Babylon Zoo" > 22.00 "ZZ Top" Well, Ultima Thule ... I know one should not banish or censor music, but from what I know, this band is a heavily racist band. Mildly said, the swedish music scene / business does not look at this band with friendly eyes. And I agree with Robert regarding the line-up as well. Ultima Thule followed by Mike Flowers Pops is very surreal indeed. //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ..listening to The Cure - "Fight".. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Jul 1996 05:00:24 +0200 (MET DST) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Re: Trastocksfestivalen On Fri, 5 Jul 1996, trkisa@uta.fi (Kimmo Saaskilahti) wrote: >> And what about Tr{stocksfestivalen (starts exactly two weeks from now!)? >> Who's going? > > If anyone cares, I am seriously thinking about going there (hopefully > with Robert C).

Heh heh, well, if the amount of people that showed up last year ( = 20.000) was correct, I wouldn't think so. Last year at the Hultsfred festival, where there were less than 20.000 people, I never met three friends more than once - and that's when we had planned to meet at a place and time. Anyway, we could perhaps make plans and put our tents on the same spot or something? I am going there with my girlfriend on thursday (18/7) morning - and we'll probably go to the West Side party downtown Skelleftea that night. When will the rest of you be there? >> what to bring etc? > > Bring an extra pullover; I seem to remember the nights were rather > cold last summer.

Ha ha ha... well, I don't know about the gifts, but I will bring warm clothes at least. A friend of mine up there told me she needed mittens last year - and she _lives_ there and has a house she can go to at night! Warm clothes = at the top of my list. Camera is a must too, I agree. But how about beer 'n such stuff? Can you go downtown (is it far?) to the local Systembolaget and buy the stuff, or do I have to bring it all the way from here? (as they are not selling anything at the festival) > The sad thing is that the Tammerfest festival here in Tampere happens > to take place during exactly the same weekend; thus I will miss the > only decent thing happening here the whole summer.

Another sad thing is that "Madona" festival in Latvia also taking place at the same time. :-( ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ..listening to The Cure - "A Forest".. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Jul 1996 05:01:15 +0200 (MET DST) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Re: Superswirls On Fri, 5 Jul 1996, Ulf Harnhammar wrote: > I can really recommend their single debut "Tune In Your Superswirls" which is > really great.

Hmm, this means that I have to get the single from somewhere. Do you know if I can order it directly from Sesame Records (Arcade)?

Superswirls are originally from Eskilstuna Sweden, but 4 out of 5 is living and studying in Uppsala 80 km north of Stockholm. Line up: Mattias Axelsson - vocals, guitars Rikard Sellgren - synthesisers, guitar Lasse Hellberg - synthesisers Markus Lind - bass Ivan Parlov - drums Superswirls was formed around 1991, and begun playing the local circuit with lots of shoegezzer wha-wha wha-wha guitars and Indie beats. They created a buzz with 'a lad in sane' and 'What happens now?', two songs that appeared on a local promo CD, These songs had a more laid back and dynamic sound and pop star Ian Broudie (Lightning Seeds) loved the sound of it. After some line up changes and many shows, mostly in Uppsala they took time out and recorded 'Tune in your superswirls Demo' with local pop- producer Totte pop and it provided Superswirls with a world wide publishing deal and they decided to sign with CNR=B4s new pop label Sesame Records. Their 5 song strong demo tape is said to be the best Demo tape of 95. In 1996 they have recorded their debut single 'Tune in your superswirls' (a newer shorter censored version). It was released in mid May and are currently played on P3 everyday so far. Superswirls will start demoing songs for their debut CD in mid july and then spend a month in the studio recording one of the best Swedish releases in 1996, only taking time out to play at the Emmaboda festival. The debut album (t.b.a) is scheduled for an October release. A biography from Air music say=B4s " Superswirls deliver great pop melodies, twanging tremolo guitars, old school synthesisers, laid back smooth groves and thumping basses" I like to add " if you like Stereolab, Spiritualized, pulp and Blur then Superswirls is what you=B4ve been waiting for".

The weather wasn't brilliant but good enough for some great music, at least it didn't rain. After a one hour delay, Tomas Walhstrom Poetry Show entered the stage with confidence and mixed poetry with musical illusions, irony and a rolling sound of funked-up beats, air tight bass and it takes you from a corny bossa groove through jazz to the much more raw and heavy ending, right there at the end it's 'Rock poetry And Roll'. Pain of Salvation just don't get it, their boring Heavy Metal don't cut it in 1996, they more act and sound like 'Spinal Tap'. MOL is doing great but are playing far to early in the evening. This techno duo can push any crowd right through the roof in a club anytime, their hunched stance giving them the look of a pair of acid- casualty geeks cooking up the perfect formula for a rave beverage. In a club they rock the audience like Tyson on angel dust, but tonight it's to early and it's outdoor on a pop festival. Superswirls had to pull out in the last minute and didn't played. Alternative Colours are in a way commercial with their Euro disco, but who cares!, they stink in my opinion. They got some of the people in the front to dance and sing for a while but it's clear that everyone is waiting for Kent and Yvonne. Yvonne looked fresh and inspiring tonight, the level of emotional and melodic drama was magical. Yvonne bless us with the same show they played in Hultsfred. It's a perfect modern pop show most of the time, they open with two new songs that gets your attention and then the give us 'Wires', 'For Your Pleasure', 'Modern Love' and 'Cut a Smile'. These songs are tonight very dynamic and lovely, teasing and showing off, beautiful and tense, when Henric sings ' I wanna be your modern love' we believe him and adore him for it. The rest of the show delivers another new song and then guitarist David goes Wild, spitting at the audience and beating the crap out of 'Veins' and 'Enticed'. When he throws his guitar at the stage and it goes into feedback in 'Broken Part's we know it's over. They really need this as much as we love `em. As Kent slip on stage into the spotlight, we realise why they have sold over 40 000 copies of the Cd 'Verkligen', They do everything right tonight and gradually fill the festival site with unbridled excitement, it's a great Indie show that last just over the hour, playing most of the songs from the latest record, tonight I only miss ' Ingenting Nagonsin'. Maybe they try to much to look cool but when Jocke Berg Introduce ' Bla Jeans' he have got us eating out of their hands. The encore is pure SEX, a cover of Depeche Mode's 'Stripped' and their top ten hit 'Kram' is F***ing phenomenal. I can't say I'm a fan, but tonight they're great. any questions? Totte pop.............. ------------------------------- Date: Mon, 8 Jul 1996 12:54:54 +0100 (BST) From: Sean Kyle-Price Subject: Re: Luger Tour List _Update_ [02-Jul-96] On Wed, 3 Jul 1996 chief@lysator.liu.se wrote: > FIRESIDE (S) - Startrec/American Recordings - House of Kicks/BMG > 8/7 Southend (UK) TBA New date > 9/7 London (UK) Underworld New date > 10/7 Leeds (UK) The Cockpit New date > 11/7 Birmingham (UK) Foundry New date Is it worth my while going to see Fireside at the Underworld?

It's sort of laidback hardcore with catchy melodies Definitely go see them if you've got the night off, but just don't expect anything like the twee Cardigans/Cloudberry Jam/Popsicle sound. --------------------------- Date: Mon, 8 Jul 1996 17:05:25 +0200 (MET DST) From: Petter Tiilikainen Subject: Re: Trastocksfestivalen According to chief@lysator.liu.se: >> Friday 18.00 by the big tent.

I I will arrive there at Friday around noon, this time I probably won't be sleeping in a tent, instead I will crash at a friend's house. So I won't be at the West Side party unfortunately. However, compared to how it was last year, it wasn't hard to find people. Kimmo and Robert found me even without making an appointment. I think the number of 20,000 were never present there at the same time, if so, only during the acts late at night. The area is nowhere close to the one at the Hultsfred festival. > agree. But how about beer 'n such stuff? Can you go downtown (is it far?) > to the local Systembolaget and buy the stuff, or do I have to bring it > all the way from here? (as they are not selling anything at the festival) No problem, the Systembolaget store is within walking distance from the festival. Though it can be pretty crowded on Friday afternoons. cheers, Petter. (Btw, while I'm at it, thanks to Per Långström for selling me a ticket to Roskilde, I had a great time seeing Tortoise, Sebadoh, Unsane, Jesus Lizard, Nick Cave, Dirth Three, Neil Young and what not). ---------------------------- Date: Tue, 9 Jul 1996 00:38:18 +0200 (MET DST) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: P3 Live changes Some changes to the P3 Live schedule....

To change the subjet... Don`t send me any of the three tape chains in August because it would stop the chains for a while. Me and a friend went to Roskilde. We saw the Cardigans (Nice gig as I think, alot of of new songs). By the way nice story to tell right with, beside us stood a young, i guess swedisch, couple, slightly drunken.

Maybe > we could meet personally ( at the popsicle gig ?). I myself will escape to London before and during and after the Water Festival, but still I can recommend a few record stores: Pet Sounds, Skanegatan 53, closest U-Bahn is Medborgarplatsen. Lots of indie and britpop and US low-fi pop, but also ambient/dub/techno Sound Pollution, Stora Nygatan 18, U-Bahn Gamla Stan (= Old Town). Best in Stockholm for goth, industrial, hardcore, and metal. Freak Scene, S:t Eriksgatan 64, U-Bahn S:t Eriksplan. Outstanding for punk and garage, and lots of vinyl. There are also many worthwhile second hand stores close to Freak Scene, like Diamond, Atlas, and Bjarnes. Ask the shop assistant for directions. As for concerts, look for flyers and posters in the record stores. From memory, I know that Teddybears, Iggy Pop, and Patti Smith will perform during the festival. And oh yeah, Glen Branca too, don't miss this man!! > young, i guess swedisch, couple, slightly drunken.

Apparently, at least according to Mikko Paila (on the list), our beloved band FIDGET will be the opening act for Popsicle at the Water Festival, and that is not to be missed. Other bands at the festival I would not want to miss: Suede, Garbage, Cowboy Junkies and Earthling. //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ----------------------------- Date: Wed, 10 Jul 1996 23:09:55 +0200 (MET DST) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Motor Tour List _Update_ [10-Jul-96] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scandinavian Indie Motor Tour List UPDATE Scandinavian Indie July 10th 1996 by Erik S|derstr|m (chief@lysator.liu.se) Swedish: 59 Times The Pain, Bob Hund, Brigade, Goldmine, Gordon, Liberator, Millencolin, No Fun At All, Satanic Surfers, Soundtrack of Our Lives.
