Gråsuggorna at Tucken and Ligisternas surprise gig
The Event
Band night at Tucken (the basement club at Broder Tuck)
It looked like it was going to be a pretty shitty night at Tucken (nothing similar to the PSK punk festival). First of all it was hard to book any other band that night. So it was decided that Gråsuggorna should play all by them self. And then no one showed up at first. But in the end there was a crowd as dedicated as anyone can be.

Ligisterna
(The Thugs) = Surprise gig =
I had just finished a conversation with the drummer Pelle of Gråsuggorna about the greatness Ligisterna when all the boys of Ligisterna entered the club in a truly brilliant punk rock manner. All of a sudden they became an improvised support act to Gråsuggorna. With three songs they were on it with the energy they almost always are on. A great start. Gråsuggorna seemed a bit worried that they couldn’t match the support act.
Gråsuggorna (The Woodlices)
And it was obvious that they seemed a bit lost in the beginning. But recovered real fast.
Gråsuggorna is originally from the small, hillbilly style, village of Rättvik. An hostile environment to a young punk. Still they have survived as both humans and as a band. As a band they been doing this for 20 years. Basically they are into fast UK82 style of punk. Which also can be heard in their Blitz. GBH covers, etc.
The set started a bit shaky, not least with a bit of problem with some unwelcome microphone feedback. But after settled that problem they sort of geared up a level and you could literary see the energy build up inside them all. Especially the singer Jörgen got more and more confident and could let out the pure punk energy that got the crowd going. It was amazing watching that change from low energy to high and then into supercharged!
I heard that they were a good live band and now I got to see that.
With their slogan “Old punks never dies!” they proved that punk rock is the formula to stay young and for an eternal life in joy.
Even if they have had the band for 20 years they have never played in Stockholm before, so this was their STHLM premiere. And both the band and the crowd agreed on that it wasn´t the last time playing in the capital of Sweden.
As the Dj at the event I didn´t pay, but the 40 SEK must been worth the money for any true punk.
To all of you that wasn´t there but was watching, whining and complaining about the Swedish “Mellodifestivalen”, shame on you!
I sum the night with a smile, the true brotherhood of DIY punk rock, like it once was, could never been more obvious last night. Long gone was all elitism, rock star manners, only the heart and love to the fast music with screaming vocals about the grim facts of life.

Swedish anti Olympic song is spread like a forest fire.
Swedish anti Olympic song is spread like a forest fire.
The worldwide anti Putin protests and anti the Winter Olympics have now a new contribution.
Swedish and International media have been reporting about the abuse of the locals, the workers of Sotji. And that with the Russian fascist regimes treatment of Pussy Riot, Green Peace along with and their Homophobic laws and systematic corruption of the Russian leaders. Have turned many of us that normally follows our winter olympics with pride, into boycotting it or at least question the IOKs decition to give the Russians the games.
Now the Swedes have their song for the protest. Tobias Nilsson is the name on people lips, and his version of the band Nationalteaterns anti Eurovision song contest song from 1975, "Doing the omoralisk Schlagerfestival" (Doing The Immoral Eurovision Songcontest). The man from Halmstad, Roxettes hometown) have made a pastish of the old song, Doing the omoralisk vinterolympiad (Doing the immoral Winter Olympics) and it is now spreading on the internet. Also news papers and local Tv stations have picked up the tune as news.
When 1,2 fuck you punk revue first posted it, there were only 23 watches, now it is many more and there will be more.

Gatans Lag, winning the Manifest award and then proved that they live like they sing
Manifestgalan is the Swedish independent record producers annual award orgie. In the cathegory the best punk Gatans Kag was nominated. The prize cermonies was held at the old jitterbug/Rock n Roll palour "Nalen". In connection to it Club Antisocial had a little party. Where Gatans Lag might show up and give an unplugged surprice gig. But the it evolved and it was changed to be a played on electrical instruments. I along with the people of Club Antisocial did do the soundcheck.
Gatans Lag did win the prize and was cheered as football heroes arriving at the club. But the situation occured that they had flagged. The open bar at the prize cermonies was a willing mistress for the lads.
So when they showed up at Tucken, part of the band was denied entrance, and the others was after while to follow him. I can´t help feeling a bit robbed of it. To see Gatans Lag play at the club after being crowned winners had been something extra. But no one was surpriced, the deal was if /IF/ they were sober enough they would play. The skinhead punk band, with most lyrics about over consuming alcohol, proved that they are the real deal. And they proved that the record that made them win the award "Från fest till arrest", (From Party to Arrested my transl.) was not some posed fantasy, but a bit of their reallity.
Well, next time to see them is at Pretty Shitty Kjell Oi! festival in Stockholm.
the nomenees was
