Sinnahgoogie Boogie (some boring words about...)

After we had met and rehearsed and recorded for the first time JO said: Don't give a fuck about genres and write about your childhood and adolescence. I said: OK.

So SINNAHGOOGIE BOOGIE is almost some kind of a theme... album... Of course it's not about ME but it's a lot of me in it. That's new for me.

I wrote about how people with the best of intentions made me feel like... shit... Not good at anything that counted and sometimes evil sometimes weak but most of the times just plain stupid.

The life of crime was something I could understand the rules of because criminals are very clear with what they want of you, no game of guessing for me like it was with "ordinary people", but I wasn't interested in that either. Growing up with a father that had his own paintshop I knew that the freedom of owning your business (which is the way I look at the criminal life or like being a freelancer?) is just a lot of: working too much (and often), never really having some free time and (all the time:) being on your toes because of the competition. Too much work and not enough fun... money was never interesting for me before I started to have loans... In other words before I became a grown up. Don't do that kids! It's a trap!

I was an angry lonely kid and I understand why now. Why I was angry and why no one ever could stand me for long... Because of my lack in communication skills I couldn't understand why I couldn't understand or why I couldn't get understood.

I was lucky, my parent was understanding in that sense that the knew I wasn't doing anything to fuck with people. They couldn't understand why but they understood that fighting my ways/my confusion/my anger was in the most cases pointless. It was just going to make it worse. School wasn't as understanding... is it ever? Or whoever you have to deal with to get along with your life. My work employment officer said I hadn't suffered enough in my life! He didn't look to happy either so maybe suffering was what he thought sucess was?

But I had the music. The music kept me from going insane, getting into drugs! and having a "normal social life" and during those years it probably was the best for me... Getting some proffessional help would have been even better but that wasn't an alternative I assume...

I'm not much of a Doors fan but the line "music is you only friend, until the end" is a "truth" for me if anything is. And I'm gonna end this boring rant with the cliché that if one of my songs helps one person to feel a little bit better of themselves I'm totally satisfied. It sure does for me...

See how happy pEr gets when he's playing his guitar!

The song of the day is GONE.. it's there the name of the song is Gone...so...you get huh?

Now...lemme tell ya'll a story... long and boring but for once true...

Once there was an English DJ, writer, promoter and nowadays even manager(?) called Joe Cushley that told me I should contact this american that had a cool studio and a great band in Norway. Knowing that the most things Joe had told me had been good for me I did. The american was a nice fun guy that didn't like e-mails much... Anyway in 2004 he would come to Östersund with his band and I went there and met him and the bassplayer JO and the new drummer Dan. We kept in touch. Did some gigs together (HASTINGS!) but that was when he had started doing gigs on his own without any band.

JO and Dan started playing with various people and played the Urkult festival (2006) here so JO and I met and had a long talk like stupid people do when they meet.

We kept in touch. BTW I did loose touch with that american, lost his number and never got to get it again. But I know for sure he's doing well without me... How that now can be possible?

In late 08 JO and Dan was playing in Strömsund and I drove there. We talked music and stupidity as people do when they don't know better.

JO sent me a pigs foot and we were talking about maybe doing "something" together. JO realized that Dan, now playing with that american again wouldn't have the time to do this "thing", whatever it would become, so maybe we should check with Kai the drummer Dan replaced if he was interested? So JO did.

Düsseldorf 57 August 2012

Four, spread over two years, "weekends" in Oslo later we had a full-length... whatever, you call it nowadays, ready. We had been working fast and hard and stupid. Maybe to fast sometimes? Maybe to hard, at least once it was hard work, and, maybe, not stupid enough? We decided to call us Düsseldorf 57 just because...

Same year, we're talking 2011 now people, we did a gig in Aalborg Denmark. In April 2012 Kai got the mixes done and he's doing the mastering of the songs late(?) this fall/early winter(?).

The full-length "whatever" will be called Sinnahgoogie Boogie and contains songs that sounds like songs that we are playing. Some of them sounds a little more like the rest of the others but some of them just won't conform. And that's okay. We just say:- It's okay little song, just be what you wanna be! We'll always love you even if you never will make any money for us... Something like that...

This is the true story. I won't be telling it again.
