A Newbie in Coolgrrrls
Attention all you coolgrrrls out there! I am the new girlie here! My name is Jennyfer Star and I´m a singer/guitarist. I live in Stockholm, Sweden and I´m here to tell you what´s goin on over here in the rock scene. Since I´m a musician, I will attend a lot of cool shows, both from the crowd and from... Continue »
We need fresh blood!
There has been so many shows and I haven´t been there. I have had pneumonia for two months but that is not the only reason I´ve been staying in. It´s sad and it´s true but this month, I decided I was going to be a grandma and just stay home and knit. Not the “bitch & stitch” worldwide wonder,... Continue »
Still Grasping for an Excuse
I still don´t have an excuse for not updating regularly even though I have been blaming it on not having a decent scanner anymore. My cameras are my eyes and all of that…I´m a sorry excuse for a human being and I know it. It feels mighty good to be a bad seed..huh. For some reason, I´ve just gotten... Continue »
No Scanner, No Update
Long time, no see…and I don’t really have an excuse. Main thing is that I no longer have a scanner and therefor I can not scan my photos and an update without photos, well, that is like Britney without cleavage… The last two months have been…well, kinda dull. Sweden just closes down, like the bank at 3pm, in mid... Continue »
Takes Beers instead of Notes
So, I haven´t been writing here for a month or so. That doesn´t mean that nothing of interest hasn´t happent. It just means that I´m a lazy ass cow. I´ve been to too many shows to remember and I still have rolls and rolls of film to develop, so I guess that another update in a week or so... Continue »
Long time, no see
I haven’t been writing in a long time, but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been here… But, to be honest, these last few months, I haven’t been roaming around in my usual business. No rock, no action, no shopping, no booze. I almost became the poster-child for the Nuns and by that I do not mean the band... Continue »
Hate living in a Tent but did it
I hate living in a tent. Not only does it make me feel like a scout, there´s no room, you can´t stand up straight and you have no bathroom. Why the hell would you want to live in a tent?! Well, I did it, willingly last week. I t was hell, beyond that even, but I got to see... Continue »
Go! Baby! Go! Rock the house
This how it all starts. Martin says , “Wow, LisaFisa, it´s Möllefesten/Folkfesten/Whatever in a week or so. Let´s go, it could be cool. Pretty girls, beer and good bands”. I say “Nah, boring bands and ugly kids in too much makeup, I´d rather stay at home with Patsy Klein”… Two weeks later, it´s saturday and I´m at the minifestival... Continue »
This Ain’t The Summer Of Love
Most people know about the Nomads. Most punkrock and garage bands list them as influences. So, I guess that an explanation isn’t really needed, but I´ll do a short one: Nomads has been around for more than 20 years, they infact just had their big 20th Anniversary where they had every bandmember and additional musicians, joined them on stage...

Delirium Hits Lund and Life as we know...
I am Ginger, not Ginger ex Wildhearts but Ginger as in GingerBread cookie. That is what happen when you challenge the sun and go on a bikeride for 3 hours wearing nothing but a little Motörhead-tanktop. It seems, I am still wearing that top actually, cause I´m creamy white as frozen yoghurt where it used to be…Motörhead forever. You... Continue »
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... Continue »
Night of the Livid Queers
The Hives played in Malmö a couple of weeks ago. I didn´t go. You see, I´ve gotten old, I´ve gotten lazy; “Oh, it´s just the Hives playing tonight…already seen them, so I am staying home on the couch…with all things sugar”. I did stay at home, coughing, with a magazine, 4 rabies-wild cats and a kilo of candy….and it... Continue »
Peeping at Gluecifer
I never do things on time. I do 20 things at the same time, and none of them get ready when they’re suppoed to. I am a slacker, reluctant, but a slacker indeed. But these past weeks, I have been trying to do things a non-Lisa way, meaning; doing things on time, dressing a non-Lisa style, only using B/W... Continue »
Hands back to the Keyboard
So, I finally got my thumb out and my hands on the keyboard. There are so many other things that keep me busy that I forget all about writing about the rock, I just go see the rock and then head home. Therefore, a bunch of bands will be forced together in the same update and there won´t be... Continue »
Christmas Day Rumble Uplifted Holidays
A while back, a long while back, it was Christmas. We are all trying to do our best forgetting it; all the nasty food we had to eat, all the relatives you had to meet that scares you more than Freddy K….And, then there were good times. They weren´t many, but for me and a bunch of other punkrockers,... Continue »
Love Going to Hellacopters Shows
So, yesterday Hellacopters rolled into town, again. Company was Hives…but not me.Was thinking of going into the last minute, but the “new” Hellacopters-crowd makes me nauseous. I shouldn´t let that bother me, but maybe I am just getting old and lost my hipness along the way. Not that I think I ever had any, hipness that is. But, with... Continue »
Matching Numbers was Great
I don’t eat leftovers…. I wrote about Matching Numbers this summer. I saw Matching Numbers last week. If it hadn’t been for Matching Numbers, this week would have killed me. Club Massattraction did a splendid thing; they had Odd the God coming to Lund twice. Well, that was the plan, but Robots had to cancel their gig, so he... Continue »
The Kids aren’t alright
I didn´t want to write this update. Usually there are plenty of things to write about; great bands you´ve seen, a movie, a demo…but this time, not really. I could write something nasty, which is what I mostly feel like doing, but now is not the time..And, it´s never good to write nasty things, as a columnist/writer/whatever, you´re suppose...
