SCRAPS OF TAPE
VÄDRET
LYMLAND

SCRAPS OF TAPE

A bit selfishly we start off with headlining our first TNBOMP: evening, but that’s just
a privilege  that comes with the job! We’ll be blasting through a set of songs from all of our albums
and we’re pretty fucking excited to be on stage at P23 again. It’s been 7 years since the last time, and
you can have a look at what that was like here:

VÄDRET

Vädret is the solo-project of our beloved guitarist Marcus Nilsson and someone described
the music as “experimental childrens-music” which pretty much nails it! Beautiful melodies,
crazy synths and wonderful moods all crowd together to form Vädret. You don’t want to miss this!

Have a listen to the first single “Sista” from the upcoming ramberget recordings-album “Löven dansar balett där ute”:

LYMLAND

Lymland is a collaboration between SoT-guitarist Jerker Kaj and
If They Ask Tell Them We’re Dead-member Sonja Perander.

Lymland sounds “wooden/forest-y”. Traditional instruments set in new exploratory, curious circumstances. Minimal arrangements but still all over the place.

The whole shebang starts at 20:30 and costs a meager 40:- (SEK).

As an added bonus we will attend the Guitar Show South which is happening
the very next day in Hässleholm and have a short talk on the equipment we
use, how we write our music and whatnot. That’s a first!

We hope to see you there!

A few days in to our first 2012 tour, all is well and business as usual. Some nights have been awesome, some not so awesome but good nevertheless. We pretty used to whatever touring throws at us at this moment!

First day in Halle was fucking freezing cold, the show was a great first-show with awesome concerts from Lara Korona and Tiger Magic. First shows are always a bit shaky but this one was for sure one of the better ones.

Here’s some photos from the Halle-show shot by Liz Eulenhertz

Second day in Osnabrück was pretty weird following the squat Reil78 in Halle. The club Big Buttinsky (?!) was located in a shopping mall/cinema complex and when we got there we were sure it was gonna be weird, with low volume restrictions and all kinds of hassles, but it turned out amazing. Not too sure if anyone there actually knew who the hell we were but all-in-all it was a nice evening! Great people, backgammon, beer and high volume. Sweet!

Third day, Göttingen! This show was a last-minute booking and we were so lucky to get an opening slot for finnish rockers French Films at this amazing place called Apex! The promoters had made such a great job of decorating the place with scraps of old video tapes, and a quote from one of FF songs all over one wall. It looked  so nice, and Inga, Christian and all the other promoters were such awesome people. I really hope we get the chance to come back in April which we are trying to set up!

Yesterday: Stuttgart! Another first for Scraps, Stuttgart and Schocken was a really pleasant surprise. We weren’t too sure there would be any people since it was a monday and we’d never played Stuttgart before, but it turned up around 30 people and everyone were really psyched! We sold like 20 albums, 7 t-shirts and some posters so we were as happy as pigs in shit when we went to bed.

And here we are, at Café Wagner in Jena. This place is really something, the guys here seem like the greatest people and we’re super-psyched about tonight! Early soundcheck in a minute and then awesome hang-out time and good food, company and a movie-screening. Sweet times.

We miss our families a lot, and our hearts go out to Jerker who’s not with us on this tour because he became a father just the other day. All of our love to Jerker, Sonja and their beautiful baby girl!! Slowly getting Scraps Of Tape Teens together. We’re planning a “The Phantom” kinda thing with scraps…we’ll never die.

peace!

Give yourselves THE christmas-gift of the year and head on over to
Ramberget Recordings, soundcloud or facebook and listen to the new single “Sista” from SOT-guitarist Marcus
solo-project Vädret. The track also features SOT-drummer Fredrik.

Summer goodness in the middle of a rain-away winter.

Head on over to Lowlights & Decibels, the webpage for photographer Gerald Tournier
and check out some awesome photos from our gig at Schokoladen in Berlin earlier this month.

So awesome to be back at AZ Conni, we can’t wait to hit the stage!

Went for a walk in Dresden earlier and tried to us a tour-tattoo at a tattoo-parlor on a whim,
but they didn’t do drop-ins so we had to scraps the idea. We ended up at a bakery with pink walls having some coffee and cake. Almost the same thing as getting one more tattoo.

Met the guys from Dorena. Seems like great guys and the little we heard at soundcheck sounded very promising!

Yesterday we had to spend way to many hours with this geezer, Marko. Totally insane, batshit-crazy würzburger, but a good promoter! The show in Cairo (the club) was so nice, and the great Tilman Dominka who made the artwork for “tv crown” came and took some pictures, and also did a few photo-sessions with us.

Alright…we’re backstage blasting some Neil Young to get psyched and gonna drink some whiskey!

We’re in Würzburg again, hanging out at Cairo with Marko and
Maddie and soon also the great Tilman (who did the artwork for TV Crown).

Super-excited to hit the stage tonight, the last two days have been so good, it’s almost ridiculous.
Kiel was so nice, first time at Shaubude and it was great. A lot of people came out to see us even though it was our first time in Kiel, so that was great! Thank you so much people!

One of the greatest things is that we’re playing “We are many, we are tired of being few” from “Read Between the lines at all times” again for the first time since 2004 or something. We met up in the rehearsal-space at 9 in the morning on the day we left for this tour and decided to try and play it.

Since Fredrik never ever played that song before he was a little sceptic but we got it
together in a few tries and now it’s in the setlist! It’s feels fucking great!
Now we’re playing songs from all of our albums and that is something we’ve been striving for for a long time.

The party at Schokoladen last night was so great. The place was packed and we met our old friends Matt, Carsten and Stefan (If I’m spelling your names wrong guys I’m so sorry) and had some pfeffermint shots and traded some t-shirts. Schokoladen really is home away from home to us in Berlin. We love Schokoladen!!!

(kenta in his new Schokoladen t-shirt!)

This morning we went to our friend Peter Borderick’s place in Berlin and had breakfast with Peter and Laura.
They had set up such a fantastic breakfast and we had a shower and talked about
great german sentences, how to boil eggs with old swedish magical methods and normal stuff like that.

(It doesn’t  look to happy in this photo but appearances can be deceiving)

It was great meeting Peter (again) and Laura (for the first time) and they really made our day
start out in the best possible way!
5 hours on the road, but a bunch of Curb Your Enthusiasm and Boardwalk Empire episodes made it all good.

Fredrik slept 99% of the time of course, in true drummer-style.

If you’re in Würzburg, come on down to Cairo and say hi. It’ll be awesome!!!

Recently we did a interview with VISIONS, you can read it here (in german or in google-translate english)
