suburban kids with biblical names

question?

Should we stick to the name Suburban Kids With Biblical Names or try SKWBN on the new Ep?

#4

Remember the spirit of Gustaf Håkansson

more news!

We are mixing the last hard pieces on the new ep due to be released in january. Mixing is really hard and makes brainkill overload. If life is good and we get more snowy days the work will probalby be done in a couple of days and then its up to the mastering guy to do his magic. Weve heard rumours that the mastering-guy wears a west and have a pony tail. This is probably a good thing.

Punks

So were kinda deep in the recording process right now and today we laid down the lyrics for a new song with the working title "life exotic". All our songs are midtempo and lack refrains. Loves it

En nypa musik!

Hey i´ve forgotten to tell you that we have yet another show tomorrow sunday 17/8 at Gula Villan in Haninge. The event is a new festival runned by the legendary Tompa Eken. There will be music from 14:00 - 21:30. Among the other bands playing is one of my favorite swedish acts Florence Valentin!  The Festival is free!

Even More!

and have a listen to "God Save Roger Nichols" soon to be released on OIB split vol 2

OIB writes about "God Save Roger Nichols"

Suburban Kids With Biblical Names – God Save Roger Nichols
After a way too long hiatus, Sweden’s finest electro-twee-pop outfit Suburban Kids With Biblical Names are back with the 4 minute pop opus ‘God Save Roger Nichols’. Their 2005 album ‘#3’ is an office favourite here at OIB Records HQ and we’ve been chasing SKWBN for a while now so we’re just so incredibly excited about this release! Its pure Suburban Kids as you know and love them, delicate keys, xylophones, progressive drum loops, perfect guitar riffs, and those infectious and upfront vocals that get stuck in your head for days. A stone cold indie-disco floor filler!

Volume 2 is set for an early October 2008 release throughout Europe via Southern Records and our own OIB Records webstore.


We are thrilled!

Perfect Sound Forever

While in gothenburg this weekend i got to borrow the book "Perfect Sound Forever" The story of Pavement by Rob Jovanovic which made me realise how much i used to love this band. Actually this made me go through their entire collection again and now i realise that i still love them. When i finally got to see them in 1999 it was pure happiness although the book tells that they really hated eachothers guts during this period.

Island In The Sun

Yes we had a great time at the Island in The Sun festival in Jurmo and so did the mosquitos, i have thirty bites on each of my feet.

why?

I dont know if anyone read this shit but i promised to give you the details why the manchester show was cancelled. To  explain this i attached a mail i just wrote to a nice chap. (sorry if the english sucks, i dont pay that much attention to the language in emails)

If youre gonna organize a show you should try to tell the band well in adavanced about the flight tickets and accomondation and stuff an you should not tell them month before that its cool to come over as a five piece band only to drop a really short mail a week before the show and tell them that they can only come as a two piece band. Its because of this, not saying anything for months although we have tried to contact him both through our booking agency and personal that we couldnt set up a decent tour.

Sorry Manchester!

The show at the a day at the races festival is cancelled. We will get back to you tomorrow about why..

Since most of us took vacation we will play another show instead but this time we will take the ferry over to the archipelago island Åland and the festival "Island in the sun" on the 2nd of August.

When i got the news that the Manchester show went to hell i made a promise to play there as soon as possible when our new record is out.

summer sounds

if i were to do a muxtape or whatever it will mostly feature cds that i´ve gotten from people this summer. Heres me philosophing about their music over a beer.

Erik Halldén - Self portrait ar 23

It kicks off with piano and a sleazy sounding synthesizers which kinda makes you shiver in a good way and when the lyrics comes in about matt damon and the never ending lines of Metropolis he have me.

JSSFRK - The Meek Shan´t inherit the world

Sometimes it isnt harder than this to make great indierock

Lake - Oh, The Places

Very simple song with a nice melody that brings me back to a couple of weeks ago when we washed our sins away in the dark water of Rudan

VED - Taygetos Theme

This is psychedelic jazzfunk at it´s best. Sometimes it sounds like a lo fi Studio ( the band) without all that balearic stuff.

New New New!

Hi there! We have reopened the old blog again! This means that it will be easier for you to follow in the footsteps of the wonderful world that is SKWBN! The old blog is dead and buried by all the spam-monsters of the viagra falls, but dont fear and lets keep this place clean for gods sake!

So what do we have to tell you today? 

Well we have a show on 2nd of august in manchester UK 

Heres the poster:

We havent been able to set any other dates in the UK during this period and im sorry for that. If i have to put the blame on something i must say it´s a mix between my incapacity of organizing stuff, booking agency failure and not getting the right info in advanced. 

A good mix though is the new SKWBN  song that will be featured on the OIB records 7 inch split series. Other fine artists on the compilation is Half Handed Cloud with whom we did a show a couple of weeks ago in stockholm. It was a beautiful night that will echo in eternity.
