Hello!

Remember: "For Your Love" is in Scrubs tonight... Look out for it!
It is also featured on the ABC website.

You can also find Spark Large featured on the alternative section on iTunes in the US this week. 

New record almost done! We were in the studio today and finished up the last mixes. Or, Johan, our engineer, did 2 hours of manual de-essing... =) He's the hero of today at Camp Marching Band.

Now: album art work and title...

Spark Large was released in Sweden on October 26 and you swedes can get it at CDON or Kulturbutiken.

Finally we'll be getting some play on swedish radio station P3 in november as we're band of the month at P3-lab, and will be on rotation on their E-list. Fun!

And even more exciting: We're recording our second record this winter with producer Jari Haapalainen (Camera Obscura, Ed Harcourt, The Concretes, Frida Hyvönen, Bear Quartet, Nicolai Dunger etc. etc). We hope you're as excited as we are about the next record!

Hello everyone!

We're glad to announce that you can listen to Spark Large on Spotify. That's good news for everyone in England and Sweden for example, who can hear the full record online from now on. 


Also we're happy to reveal that we have a song in the upcoming blockbuster Zombieland that hits theaters in October. Metallica, Lou Reed, Jack White and Paul Anka are some other more or less well known artist on the soundtrack:



And finally, for everyone who's wondering what we're up to and why the hell we haven't posted any news or blogs for the last couple of months: we're hitting the studio to record our next record this autum/winter, to be released next spring. Right now we've sent 31 songs to our producer to concider. It needs to boil down to around 10. Hopefully some of them are pretty good.

Love

hey faithful blog reader.

it's been a bit quiet from the marching band camp for a while. thought i'd tell you why.
we're currently spending the summer time trying writing songs for our second record. it's hard to focus some time when you want to play tennis and go swimming in a lovely swedish lake as soon as the sun shines. but there have been som progress.

do you have any ideas of what kind of song you would like to hear from us? any examples of other songs one could fuse into a marching band epic? if you come up with a great idea we might send you a t-shirt.... =) 

have a great end of july

Hi...

...did you know that marching band is no longer just a band but also a t-shirt retailer? Well, follow this link to our store. There you can buy t-shirts with our artwork on in all the colors you could imagine.

Also, we're in writing mode right now and will hopefully have some exiting material at the end of the summer. Who nows what could happen then?

We recently had another song in 90210, and also a whole episode of LA Ink featured the whole album almost. It's season 2 episode 8 (for you who bought the dvd-box =). It's quite amazing actually when you think of where your music might end up one day... The music made in our bedroom on the third floor in linköping.

But for now, get lost in our store, and keep telling all your friends about us.

thank you!)


僕らの前には長い道のりがある
まだまだ先は長く、真夜中までかかるだろう
今年になり僕らが実感しているのは
夏になっていかに日が長くなったかということ
退屈、それはとてもリアルな感覚
退屈、それは素晴らしい
僕らの前には長い道のりがある
まだまだ先は長く、真夜中までかかるだろう

君の愛に宛てて
君の愛に宛てて・・・

君がひとりぼっちでいるとき
正しいことなど何もない
1995年
それは楽しい年になるはずだった
大丈夫だと言ってくれ
家から遠く離れたこの場所で
もう一度だけでいいから
僕が心配する必要はないと約束してくれ

Hello again!

More good news. We're supporting Loney Dear on his Scandinavian tour in March/April. All our friends and families will come, will you?

And also, we're playing at the great Motel Mozaique festival in Rotterdam. Right after A Camp and before Loney dear. Thrilling...

Hi dear friend. Just wanted to tell you that we're going on tour in Germany, Holland and Austria in April. It's our German label Haldern Pop that has put together a tour with us, Wildbirds and Peacedrums and Hjaltalin. It will be the first time for us on a night liner bus, and I wonder how it is to sleep in one of those. Anyone have any stories to share? Adam Green told us once that the toilet gets really nasty, and that it's kind of sad that you miss the sights while you're travelling since it's always dark outside when you're in the bus. We'll see...

We're also working hard on putting a Scandinavian tour in April together, and there will be updates on that shortly. Some more shows might be added soon in Holland too. And while you're waiting for that you can always check out the new pictures we uploaded today.

We're currently making t-shirts too to bring on tour. Is there any interest in buying that kind of products from anyone reading this?

 

best
