If we scream and shout

From the last Infruset concert in Borlänge. The trailer to the bigger and whole concert movie that is hopefully coming soon.
And it´s one year now since we saw the Infruset movie in the cinemas, you remember?

They are like a hurricane

It’s an English pub, dark English pub. And there are some heavy metal bands that are going to play tonight. I’m here because of LES GORDONS. The band I fell in love with few months ago. Now they are finally back in Stockholm.

I’ve seen lots of bands live in my life. It was just a few of them that made me feel alive for a while. It was Mando Diao and Sugarplum Fairy for sure. It was The Royal Concept sometimes. It was Johnossi, of course. And it was Les Gordons which is something I wouldn’t expect. Not from a new young band.

Their performance was impressive, rough, breathtaking. I felt like I was time traveller and suddenly appeared down in the past watching one of the early Mando Diao shows. One of those I missed and I always wanted to see. I felt like I got the chance. Not with the Mando Diao themselves, but with Les Gordons.

Above all Les Gordons are full of energy, passion and self-confidence. Deathly combination. They simply get you. I believe in them. They have it. Like Mando Diao. They are going to be big.

You want to be part of it? Don’t miss the chance, be there right from the start. See the whole story.

I followed Music

It feels little bit unreal when I think of it. Like most of the things over the past year. As it seems I was in Borlänge yesterday. There were no Peace&Love festival. And it wasn´t exactly summer. I didn´ t travel back to the Czech Republic as I used to do. I just got on a train and went home. To Stockholm. But that doesn´t matter, that is not what is it all about. 

It´s about one concert. One concert in Folkets park, over there where I saw The Vaccines or Carl Norén playing once. Everything seemed to be so small, the whole park, the whole Borlänge. Small and quiet. And there was me. Small and insignificant, unable to change it, we all were. Just powerless against that huge mistake. As always. 

Cause there were suppouse to play Sugarplum Fairy that day. And they didn´t. 

Cause there were one moment, one instant when everything was absolutely wrong and I just couldn´t bare it. The whole picture was broken. There were Viktor and Carl Norén singing Sweet Jackie. There were Gustaf and the band Mando Diao. It was in Borlänge on Athena stage. And I knew that this is not the way it should be. I shouldn´t be there. They should´t be singing that song on that stage with Mando Diao. They shouldn´t be there at all. It was surreal and absurd picture saying me that maybe there was no sence in anything after all. That the dreams are fake. It wasn´t sadness, it was all just too unbelievable to me. Like most of the things over the past year. 

I heard one stupid song when I went to the station the other day. To the train that took me from Borlänge. From that city where it all started for me once.

So there was this song. I don´t really know the lyrics but she sung something like: "You´re the reason why I´m here." And she was true. 

Cause Mando Diao, if I never ever got to know you I woudn´t live in Sweden. I woudn´t got to know the other bands. The other people. The people who now means so much, so much it´s almost hard to breath. I woudn´t have written what i wrote. I woudn´t dream the same dreams. My life would have been completely, absolutely different, on different place, with different story. My whole past. Maybe my whole future. That pain. That sadness would be different. All that happienes. The sense. The point. Me. I would have been diffrent person. 

And in that moment, while you were playing Sweet Jackie I wasn´t really sure if it is right. But it must be, don´t you think?

Cause it must have been the year 2008 or something and I was stading on the bus stop, listening to "You Don´t Understand Me" and there is this line saying: But I will always be the one who holds you in the end... and I thought it was true. Is it?

Love this photo.

Welcome home

And you know what? Because I´m in a good mood today, probably because it´s friday, maybe because I listened to some Mando on my way from work... who knows.... Here it goes. The whole Croatian show from 2012. So great, so Mando, so f-word crazy. 

Encore

Something awesome is happening right now. Let´s not talk about it too much, just not to scare it and let it dissapear. 

On 31th of August, Mando Diao and Sugarplum Fairy will be playing in Borlänge... have you heard of it?? I hope I will see you there! Oh I almost forget, the concert is sold out, BUT there will be another one. Go and get a ticket (or two... or more..) Link HERE.

At the meantime I´d like to remember one concert in Stockholm. It happened at Skansen. Mando Diao played another show from their Infruset Tour. However not only Infruset... as an encore we could hear Dance With Somebody! Kind of interesting combination but nevertheless absolutely powerfull. Makes me think again... how much I miss Mando Diao without Infruset. No matter how lovely it is. 

 

They are simply very famous right now. They also turned into completely different band. And that´s actually what they do all the time. Like a chameleón. Do you remember Unplugged times? Or Give Me Fire concerts with those background singers? Or do you remember Mando Diao from Never Seen The Light Of Day? There are lots of stories... Can´t wait for the next chapter.

When summer hits the Stockholm ski

Haven´t listened to this song for a while. But I remember like it was yesterday the feeling it gave me. Go and listen to it right now, it still works!
