From This Day

From now on this blog will also be the home of new indiepop club Don't Die On My Doorstep in Malmö, Sweden. I (plus some as of yet unknowing friends) will start doing the club at Inkonst in October, if everything goes according to plan. And it will be at least once a month with two bands playing each time. I made a MySpace profile for it here and you can listen to Remember Fun, The School, The Parallelograms and The Hardy Boys so you know you want to have a look. This is what's said about the club there, and what will also be on http://www.inkonst.com/ soon:

Don’t Die On My Doorstep is about filling gaps. For a few years now there has been a gaping hole in Malmö’s POP scene. All these great bands have turned up, like Butcher Boy and Horowitz across the North Sea and Days and Liechtenstein right here at home. Bands that we can’t live without. But they’ve got nowhere to play! This is where we come in. Don’t Die On My Doorstep is an indiepop club with live bands. Thus, it is modelled on National Pop League in Glasgow and Spiral Scratch in London. Bringing the best of these together you get a weekday club roughly once a month, playing the best records and booking the bands you thought would never come to Sweden. We can’t get all of them, but we promise to try. We don’t like booking agencies and tickets will be as cheap as we can make them. We are fed up with clubs that start late just to prove something, so we’ll have you back home before your bedtime. And we're fed up with venues that won't let you in, so no age limits around here! Yes, ruffle that bowl cut, put on your anorak, grab your silk stockings and your dance invitation! We know there’s a gap in your heart.

Aye, and check back here now and again for updates. And if you're interested in playing, you can write to the address in the 'about' section to your right. Some of the bands I would love to have are: BMX Bandits, The Hardy Boys, Would-Be-Goods, Butcher Boy, Pants Yell!, Scarlet's Well, Helen McCookerybook, The Garlands, Wake the President, Love Dance, The Dreamers, The Bridal Shop, The Electric Pop Group, The Hermit Crabs, Horowitz, The Shining Hour, Twig, The Sunny Street, Sportique, Slipslide, Tibi Lubin, Days, The Pines, The First Division, The Parallelograms, The Cut-Outs, Arthur & Martha and Pocketbooks. Hopefully some of these can make it...
