I've posted another two videos on the myspace page:

The wonderful Fernanda Morena Da Silva of www.bsideschina.com followed the band around for a day in Beijing before our first show of our little China tour and made a video about all the troubles we encountered that day.

Apparently the good people at Yuyintang in Shanghai filmed our show, or parts of it, and put a video up on the internet which I have also put up on the myspace site.

Enjoy!

I'm happy to anounce that I'll be joining my friends in Thumb Girl for parts of their China tour! I've never been to Shanghai and Nanjing before so I'm really excited about that. These are the dates:

29/5 Nic Club, Tianjin
30/5
微薄之盐, Beijing
5/6 拉丁酒吧, Nanjing
6/6 现场酒吧, Shanghai


I've uploaded a new song to my profile. It's a live recording from last months gig at 798 Art District in Beijing. There will be a studio recording of it here soon I hope along with two other new songs.

The recording from 798 was made by 许宁。谢谢你允许用你这个录音!

Dear friends,
There's a lot going on with The Big Picture right now, and you will be able to see some results of it pretty soon I hope. More than one month of not doing anything special, just hanging around in Beijing has resulted in some sort of creative boost. I'm not going to reveal too much right now, but I can tell you that I am currently working on 3 mayor The Big Picture projects.

The CD has now also been released in China by 1724 Records! Very happy about that. If you come to one of my future shows in Beijing there will definetily be CDs on sale, and I believe pretty soon you'll also be able to find them in some smaller Cd stores in the city.


1724 Records在中国发行了我的CD!如果你来看我的演出,就能买到我的专辑。另外,应该就快能在北京的一些小的CD店买到它了。

Dear friends,
In the end of august the full legth CD was released by Series Two Records. You can buy it by sending 13 USD paypal to seriestworecords@gmail.com, or if you live in Germany you can buy it from Vollwert Records.
Here in China, due to the rules of importing CDs to the country, there is currently no way of getting the CD. But! A solution to this is on it's way, and very shortly there will be a release show for the album here in Beijing. More info about this soon.
The album contains 10 songs, and it's a mix of old and new ones. Some songs are from the old Cdr:s and some were recorded in 2008.

On a different note, I would like to advise all chinese speaking people out there to pay a visit to www.indiechina.com wich is a great website for all interested in indiependent music. They also have a myspace: http://www.myspace.cn/indiechina

Current mood:  excited

Besides the new songs and color you might have noticed two interesting changes to my myspace page:

1. I am now located in Beijing, China. This of course means no shows in Sweden for a while. But maybe, if I manage to put together some sort of band here, some lucky Chinese people will get to see me play.

2. "Record label: None" has now changed to "Record label: Series Two Records". I'm working on a full length that will be realeased by sIIr in the near future. Really excited about that!

Good times.
