entschuldigt mein schlechtes englisch
da interview ist ca. sechs jahre alt.

I`VE HEARD YOUR OLD LABEL IS NOT EXISTING ANYMORE SO YOU HAD CHANGED TO ANOTHER ONE, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU FOUND A GOOD PARTNER WITH "LOUDSPRECHER" (THE GERMAN RECORD LABEL OF MOTHER SUPERIOR). IS IT A FINAL SOLUTION OR JUST FOR THE MOMENT...

OUR NEW LABEL BOSS HAD THE TRUE ATTITUDE AND SUPPORT US SO MUCH HE CAN; BUT WE HAD A LOT BAD EXPIRIENCES WITH OUR OLD LABEL.
OUR OLD LABEL HAD NO PROMOTION MONEY THEY PAID NO MONEY AT ALL SO NOTHING EVER REALLY HAPPEN. WE HAD SO MUCH PRESS AND VIRGIN SUPPOSED TO DISTROBUTE US IN SWEDEN; AND VIRGIN SAYS WE GONNA DELAY THE ALBUM LIKE A HALF YEAR; SO WHEN THEN ALBUM WAS RELEASED IT WAS A YEAR OLD ( THE MOTHERSHIP HAS LANDED) AND ALL THE PRESS ,ALL THE GOOD PRESS WE HAD ,HAD STOPPED !!!
AND THE HELLACOPTERS RELEASED AN ALBUM, WELL WHITE JAZZ HAD ALOT OF MONEY AND ALL THE OTHER SWEDISH ROCK BANDS WITH SMALL PROMOTIONS DROWNED!

THE SWEDISH ROCK SCENE EXPANDED OVER WHOLE EUROPE AND EVERYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN THIS KIND OF MUSIC HAD TO TAKE NOTICE OF THIS MOVEMENT DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS. DO YOU THINK IS GETTING A BIG HYPE SIMILAR LIKE THE SEATTLE SCENE AND HOW DO YOU FEEL A PART OF THAT MOVEMENT?

I DONT KNOW IF THERE`S A SCENE !! I THINK IS A KIND LIKE THE GARAGE ROCK SCENE LIKE IN THE 80´s BANDS LIKE THE CREEPS AND THE BARACUDAS ALL THIS 60´s GARAGE BANDS. AND THAT SORT OF BANDS JUST DIED AND SOME OTHER BANDS LINGER ON.
I THINK IT`S NOT THE SAME LIKE ALL THE SEATTLE SHIT ITS A DIFFERNT ATTITUDE. WELL, WE CAN TALK ABOUT A ROCK SCENE IN SWEDEN WITH BANDS LIKE HELLACOPTERS, GLUECIFER.......

GLUECIFER... YOUR FAVORITE BAND!?

AAAAAAHHHHHH IT`S TOO MUCH! I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY TRY TO DO. I WANT SOME REAL ROCK MUSIC FOR A CHANGE BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE KINDERGARTEN WHAT THEY DO . WELL THEY PLAY GOOD MUSIC BUT I DONT UNDERSTAND THEIR ATTITUDE!

IS THIS KIND OF MUSIC A BIG HYPE?

THERE IS A KIND OF HYPE , WHICH IS KILLING THE WHOLE SCENE AND THATS THE BAD PART OF IT. AND I KNOW WHAT IT IS !!!
THE MOST OF THE BANDS LIKE CARTOONS WHICH THEIR STYLE AND ATTITUDE. AND WHEN THE PRESS HAD TO ENOUGH FROM THIS STYLE OF MUSIC THE WILL KILL THEM FROM THE TOPICS.

THE SWEDISH SOCIAL SYSTEM IS VERY GOOD COMPARE TO EACH OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRYS. I KNOW SOME BANDS FROM THERE; AND ALL WHAT THEY DO THE WHOLE DAY IS DRINKING, SMOKEING AND PLAYING ROCK MUSIC! ARE U DIFFERENT?

UHHHHHH, NO !!!!!!!! YES !!!!! NO !!!! YES, YES , WE ARE DIFFERENT !!!!!
I QUIT MY JOB , AND I HAVE A LITTLE BABY AND MY AND MY GIRLFRIEND SAID TO ME "DAVID, GO AHEAD AND GET A FUCKIN JOB" BECAUSE DONT DO THJIS FOR HER. I WORKED FORMERLY AS A PLUMBER AND SOME TIMES IN A KINDERGARTEN !!!!!
HEY DO YOU KNOW WHAT DREGEN OF BACKYARD BABIES IS DOING!
HE DESINGS FUCKIN COMPUTER GAMES! ALOT OF MUSICIANS HAVE JOB BESIDE THE ALL MUSICSTUFF!
WE HAVE IN SWEDEN ALOT OF UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE AND EVERYBODY IT IS EVERYBODIES AMEN TO GET A JOB. WE HAD OVER ONE AND A HALF YEAR NO REHEARSEAL ROOM, WITHOUT MONEY YOU CAN DO NOTHING AND IT IS VERY HARD TO GET!

WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU HEAR THE FOLLOWING WORDS... TOUR!

I NEVER SERVED IN THE ARMY BUT I THINK IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO THIS!
YOU ARE SOMETIMES DOWN ON YOUR KNEES.
SOMETIMES A LOT OF PEOPLE COME TO CONCERTS AND SOMETIMES YOU STAND ALONE IN A CLUB! ONE DAY YOU ARE ABSOLUTLY DOWN AND ON THE NEXT VERY HAPPY TO DO THIS ALL, YOU CAN ASK ANY BAND YOU WANT IT IS EVERYWHERE THE SAME!
WE GOT NO BUDGET NO MONEY FOR THIS TOUR, SOME BANDS GOT ALOT OF MONEYAND HAVE AND BIG TOUR BUS FOR THEM IS THE ROCK`N ROLL LIFESTYLE MUCH MORE EASIER THEN FOR US.

FAMILY?

ALL ABOUT FAMILY I CAN SAY IS: IT COULD BE THE WORST NIGHTMARE OR THE MOST BEAUTYFULL DREAM WHAT YOU DO OUT OF IT

WHAT WAS THE FIRST LP YOU EVER BOUGHT?

I WAS INSPIRATED BY MY SISTERS MUSIC TASTE. AND I KNOW ALOT OF STUFF FROM HER. THE FIRST LP EVER I BOUGHT WAS DAVID BOWIES "MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD"

Das war auch ne sehr geile Band, die genau wie z.B. Union Carbide Productions oder Thee Hypnotics das Erbe von The Stooges und MC5 extrem gut weitergeführt haben. Für mich als Stooges / MC5 Verehrer also genau das richtige. Besonders das erste Album 'The Mothership Has Landed' ist einfach nur 'radically cool' um's mal mit nem Songtitel von MOTHER SUPERIOR auszudrücken. Aber auch live haben die alles plattgemacht. Hab das Konzert von 1997 in Köln im Undergound, wo sie zusammen mit ON TRIAL und THE HELLACOPTERS gespielt haben noch in allerbester Erinnerung.
