The black cult sthlm!

Hell yeah, you know what happend when we entered the stage in Eskilstuna? The mighty, and one and only Black cult stockholm just stood there in the audience – they travelled all the way without letting us know about… that was a surprise – but next time – let us know so we at least can give ya all a couple of beers! (well , they got a lot of beer and jaegermeister after the gig – no names mentioned, but one person lost his mobile, so the amount of liquer was probably enough, he he he)

A tour report will come later! This one was dedicated to the mighty black cult!

Not metal, but…

C ya there!

Torsk på Tallinn!

Torsk På Tallin (translated Cod on Tallinn) is a great Swedish comedy tv-show that is about a trip to the capital of Estonia, Tallinn, where some loosers are looking for wives! Really a good one!

Now, we dont have to look for wives there, but we are going there for a show, when we are on our Finland tour in april, and we will have as fun being there as it is watching “torsk på tallinn”. I guess we will have to bring that episode to watch on Calles portable DVD-player to get in the mood!

Got the message today that the gig is confirmed. This gig will also include the Wrestlers that are appearing on the Friday Night Rock Fight in Helsinki, Finland!

The gig in Tallin is at Club Tapper on april 2oth.

Check out the poster for the Helsinki gig below! Rawk!!!

Black Gemini

Damn - no gigs this weekend… So what to do? Well, why not go and check out the chopper my old friend is building for -me! Man – it´s getting better for every time… the “big picure” of it is coming together such as: the angle of the steering, back fender, front fender… and yes, its still going to be black, black and… a some aluminium color, just on a couple of things i.q. exhaust pipe – just to get that race look… Can´t wait to get it out on the road. Wanna join for a ride?

Here´s a pic of the dog – ohh – I meen the hog…

“In Voodoo Veritas” climbs the charts!

Hell yeah!

Our album “In Voodoo Veritas” is obviously selling pretty well. We are still on the Swedish chart for most sold hard rock and metal albums, but this week we climb to no 6.

Feels great!

This weekend we have no gigs so it’s just In Wino Veritas all day long!!!

You can also enter the competition at Close Up Magazine to win a Voodoo doll.
The doll is handmade and limited to a number of 12.

Break up

“Monster”-Magnus Eronen has now left his former band, Space Probe Taurus, to concentrate on his work in Sparzanza.
We are really glad he is playing with us, and his live-shows are getting better and better and better! And he plays really well, or what do you say, you whom have seen him play live???
I met some of the guys in Space Probe the other day and it did not seem as there was any hard feelings. We wish them the  best of luck in whatever they may do, and sorry we stole your guitarplayer!!!

Going Down – south

Hey! A big hail to the crowd in Malmo and Helsingborg! Once again we had a really good weekend.  Was also very nice to meet up with The Black Cult, Malmö! And probably we have a new cult in Helsingborg soon…

Ok some stories then…

1. On the way down we did a pit stop, (when Joey sniffs at a beer – he has to take a leak), we found a head of a wild boar. Probably a road kill – or – some illegal hunting…

 

2. No finger from the audience this time, maybe they read this blogg. (Or maybe they were out fighting – yes, it was a riot in malmö this weekend – not our fault though).
3. And this time we ate some really good food! On the way down we (also) stoped at MCD and after the gig we went to… MCD, for breakfast we had… you know the drill…
4.  On saturday we went to helsingborg and had some spare time, so we took the boat over to helsingör  in Danmark – we actually never went off the boat – they had so good food (?) – ok then – good drinks on board… 
5.  We had a really good (but to short) after party with dia psalma, really cool guys – all of them…  )Joey snatched a beer from them – well see if we are welcome next time…)
6.66 And off we went… on the road to hell, snowy and shitty weather as f**k. But our new driver (Teden) took us safely home, excpet for one incident – he tried to drive pass another car when the 2 lane was nailing into 1. ..(Oh – just remembered – he left his beer in our rehearse, muha ha ha ha ha…)

Soundcheck at the tivoli

 

P.s. we are on the 7 place of the swedish hard rock list this week d.s.

Metal – to the end!

Swedish steel…

…is famous – I think it should be Swedish guitars(!?) Have an old ´77 (I think – anyone know how to figure out -drop a post) Hagström super swede. To be honest – it doesn´t sound brilliant when tuned down 1 and half step and dropped (drop B) wich we use most of the time. – but the feeling of playing it is awesome.  So I have tried it during one song on our set – the song is only tuned down 1 step  – and that fits the super swede much better… and it sure looks good!

Oh, just remembered - Hannes from Mustasch tried to do a trade with me a couple of years ago – an Ibanez (or some jap. ) flying V… Well I still got the Hagström… Hannes got sponsored after that from Hagström – they started a new production - and I think they are made in the States now. Also I think Hannes changed the pick ups on them. The rumours say he sold them at “Blocket” after he quit Mustasch.

Enough of that – can´t wait to get down south to Malmö and Helsingborg for our weekend shows! See ya there!

Also a big big thanks to all who voted on us at Bandit.se We are now on the ”Most played list”! But – don´t stop voting though – we need AAA rotation! 

And yes – the sparzanza hotline is open this weekend too,  call or send a text: 
 +46 (0)708 457 661 outside sweden and
0708-457 661 if ya live in sweden.
Damn – it should have been 666 in the number.

Over and pass out!
