A Hot-tempered Mama

So, what have I been doing?!

Well, I am (not) sorry to say; not much. Atleast not as far as the punkrock-action is concerned. I have to admit that I have been dying to see some great band but in the big picture, it´s actually felt good not having to do an update. I know, I am somewhat of a pussy-coolgrrrl (we should all update twice a month and be jolly, jolly grrrls) and you could all do it much better..haha.

As you might have noticed, I am a hot-tempered mama…and when I feel it coming, I let it out; a couple of us Coolgrrrls, actually most of us, have been getting anonymous trash by email. People who most of the time, don´t have the guts or the balls to be straightforward about who they are and what it is they don´t like about us. Now, I can´t speak for the others, but these last 2 months I´ve been getting trash on a weekly basis from gutless wankers. I am so tired of people telling me
A) I´m ugly,
B) I´m a groupie
C) I don´t know shit about rock.
I can tell you right now, one of those is true and you are oh, so correct on that one; C) I don´t know shit about rock. I don´t listen to rock. You see, I listen to punkrock.

So, what is it that I want to say?! Well, 2 things;
1) if you don´t like it, stay the hell away.
2) if I still get anonymous shitheads telling me off, you should expect me filling up your little inbox with trash faster than a teenybopper says another “Duh”….

Back to buisness…
I have actually seen a few bands since my last update.
One of those was the Coffinshakers and it was their 3rd gig in Lund in less than a year. If you go look in the archives, you might find something

from their last visit. This time they played at Smålands. Not the best place in town but you´d rather go there than go nowhere. I don´t remember much from that night. Apparently my new medication didn´t mix well with alcohol (I guess that depends on who you ask..)….and a couple of beers made me a jolly Coolgrrrl as well as a stumbling fool. I dunno if the Coffinshakers were on medication too, but they didn´t seem to be able to stand their liquoir either. The set didn´t really go as planned. The drummer seemed to be playing on a completely different setlist, the bassplayer was all sunshine and the singer forgot his english..
But, what does that matter if you know they make good music and they like doing what they do?! Atleast it wasn´t a plastic, rehearsed set with no flaws that made you question credibility as well as passion. The songs were good, the crowd liked it. I don´t expect more and I was satisfied with what I got.

You all know Kalle, singer of 69hard and the former singer of Tenebre. Well, he is moving in on my territory…
A couple of weeks ago, he and Tobbe Lorentz had a their big birthday-bash at KB, 2 x 30. A lot of years, a lot of piercings, even more tatttoos and a big bunch of friends.
Kalle in a neat grey suit, delicious food and a surprise act on stage. I didn´t bring the camera as it was a private pa

rty but boy Kalle got a Nikon for his birthday. And, I have never seen such a enthusiastic photographer!! I never saw him load a new roll of filmbut he kept snapping. New pictures every other minute and the angles were more crazy than I have ever done.
So, what was the result?! Well, the party was cool with a big variety of people, a satisfied and happy Kalle singing/screaming in the bar and C-men showing some skin on stage.
What more could you ever want?!
To go along with the update, are some of the pictures Kalle took of the band.
