Armada of Bass Players

While Håvard, Joona and Fredrik are gearing up for the start of the fishing season, I’m left gritting my teeth with all my fishing stuff, flies, rods and reels left behind in Finland. (As I mentioned earlier, I had no space left in my luggage when moving to Copenhagen because of the double bass…) For… Read more »

Day 2 at Studio Epidemin

Here´s the second and final video from our recording session at Studio Epidemin, Gothenburg. PS! We´re very sorry about the disgraceful lyrics in Fred´s improvised song at the end of the video (“Mrs Johnson”). It won´t happen again.

Hip stuff in the studio

The last few days, I´ve spent most of the nights online, trying to find a camcorder which suits my budget and ambitions – and what a jungle… Read more »

Over in England

U.K is an interesting country. Maybe I should say England (sounds more royal?). I have been here for about a week now, playing with a traditional jazz band at trashy pubs and less trashy concert halls. The band I´m touring with plays old jazz – the average age on the audience is quite high, lets… Read more »

Soulmates

We’ve been contacted by people all over the world who share our passions of music and fishing! We are not alone! Check out this for instance: jazz saxophone player Dylan Rose’s blog and site “Skate the Fly”. Great reading!
