Yesterday we got a really cool phonecall. It seems we've been chosen by Sweden Rock Festival to be their wild card in the Jack Rocks competition. So next week we're off to Stockholm to kick ass in the finals in Jack Rocks Sweden!

Johan can't join us since he's occupied with his Elvis thing so we do need you there to make sure our friend Thomas knows the beat.

The main attraction for the evening will of course be Jack Daniels but Dead By April will also perform.

One more thing. Being singled out like this by Sweden Rock Festival also means we'll play that festival next summer.

Peace and love!

The November gigs at Pub Anchor are cancelled due to a double booking. We will play there late March instead.

Sorry for the trouble but it was out of our hands.

Peace and love!

This hangover is deadly!

Yesterday was great! Four really great bands first and then Sonic Syndicate! On top of it all the evening was sponsored by Jägermeister. The amounts of Jägermeister that was consumed by The Itch is just not measurable. I seriously doubt that there is any blood left in my alcohol system.

Anyway, Wasteland Skills won the competition and we wish them all the best in Stockholm. Worth to recognize are also Unfaithful and Trevolt - two kickass bands we hope to see more of in the future.

Once again, thanks to all of you who voted for us!

Peace and love!

Rock'n'roll!

Thanks for all the votes! We made it a bit further thanks to those of you who voted!

This upcoming Saturday we'll play with three other bands and if we win there we'll get to play in Stockholm - if we win there... who knows.

Anyway, if you wanna come cheer us on then feel welcome. Sonic Syndicate will be there and play with their new singer as well.

Tivoli is the place! Be there!

Peace and love!

We just added our song Propaganda to our profile. Check it out and let us know what you think.

We also need your help. We've also just signed up for a competition on Swedish Radio Bandit where you can vote for our song - and you should. You can vote at http://www.bandit.se/unsigned/.

Hello folks!

The Itch has entered a contest trying to win a backdrop of considerable size, value and quality(ever so important regarding stage safety, fire regulations etc etc). It would look pretty cool with a big The Itch logo behind our asses on stage wouldn't it?

Please help us win the damn thing by clicking the banner that says "bandshop.se" on our Myspace page. The more visitors we can pass on to them from here, the bigger our chances are.
Thanx a million.
rrrawk on!

Finally, after 18 months the f**king recording is finished! Last saturday Magnus laid down his last solo and Lukas did the last vocal parts. We can't wait for you guys to hear the result.

We celebrated the completion with a gig at Möllevångsfestivalen. The highlights I'd say were Magnus amp blowing up and Johan getting naked on stage. Luckily noone was arrested and we got some great help from our friends in 7 Sins who brought up one of their amplifiers so we could continue the show. That was really cool and we appreciate it tons!

If you were there and enjoyed the show please go to their MySpace and thank them for being such great guys! Without their help it'd had been chaos.

Peace and love!

This upcoming saturday we'll play the Malmö Möllevångsfestival as headliners for the metalstage. It'll be our first gig in Malmö since we played with Ted Nugent over one year ago. There is no entrance fee this time so don't call us and beg to be on the guestlist. You already are!

We're also glad to announce that we've been featured in Brazil on a compilation CD called Burning Metal that was recently released by Zombie Devil Records. We chose not to use one of our old songs and gave them our newly recorded song Propaganda. We hope you'll get to hear it soon too.

Peace and love!

Since our latest blogg report we've kept ourselves busy with; recording in the studio, performing a few live gigs, exceeded volume regulations for public performances(which isn't very hard to do), refurnished hotell corridors, and writing some new material, among other things.

What remains in the recording of our debut album is mostly vocal parts. These will be layed down within the next month, and then it's just the mixing and mastering left to do, which shouldn't take more than about 4 years or so?

 
Tomorrow we head out for Stockholm and Pub Anchor for 2 shows, friday and saturday. It'll be gig nr. 4 and 5 with the forementioned Johan Helgesson, which all of us in The Itch, separately, have a musically history with of some sort. He always has entertaining stories from the road, playing/touring with Paul DiAnno in Russia and such.


That's all for now folks! If you're in Stockholm come by Pub Anchor and see us!


Peace, love and all that other happy shit, as Hendrix put it at Isle of Wight
rrrrawk on!
