This "reunion" concert is not to be missed!! Hmm... that's the first time I see UCP described as a a pop band...! They were the loudest, hardest, wildest rock band this country has ever produced, and possibly the best live band I have ever seen. There was nothing even remotely "pop" about them... /Ludde

What was once described as alternative rock later climbed the charts and became popular music, aka pop. But you're right, Union Carbide Productions never went to "popular music" during their time. Today some even want to label their music "stoner rock". Myself, I'd label them pop/rock. Cheers // Erik

Note that ZTV will show all three days a few more times during the summer, so here's the full schedule of what they will be showing (times are likely to change somewhat): Thursday 19.25 RANDY (swe) 19.00 IN FLAMES (swe) LIVE 20.20 CHRISTIAN KJELLVANDER (swe) (former Loosegoats singer, acoustic) LIVE Friday 16.05 JOSÉ GONZALES (swe) (acoustic) LIVE 16.30 LOOPTROOP (swe) 17.10 BADLY DRAWN BOY (uk) 17.30 MARIT BERGMAN (swe) (former Candysuck) 18.25 RANDY (swe) 18.40 FLORENCE VALENTIN (swe) (acoustic) LIVE 19.30 MANDO DIAO (swe) LIVE 20.30 QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE (us) LIVE 21.45 THE DANDY WARHOLS (us) LIVE 23.00 RADIOHEAD (uk) LIVE 00.15 STEREOPHONICS (uk) (acoustic) LIVE 01.15 THE STREETS (uk) LIVE Saturday 16.05 MONEYBROTHER (swe) (acoustic) LIVE 16.30 STEREOPHONICS (uk) LIVE 16.50 DAVE GAHAN (uk) (ex-Depeche Mode singer) 17.45 FIRESIDE (swe) LIVE 19.10 BUJU BANTON (jam) 19.00 AUDIOSLAVE (us) LIVE 20.50 THE RAVEONETTES (dk) 21.05 MONEYBROTHER (swe) 21.30 THE HIVES/TIMBUKTU (swe) LIVE 22.45 UNION CARBIDE PRODUCTIONS (swe) (the band that became Soundtrack Of Our Lives) LIVE 23.10 AUDIOBULLYS (uk) 00.20 TURBONEGRO (no) Not to be missed: ----------------------------- Christian Kjellvander - Loosegoats split up, but luckily Christian is still with us! Marit Bergman - ex-Candysuck, her debut album, recently released on her own label, is filled with rough pop love. Mando Diao - got their break during the KALAS tour last year, the debut album is a wild 60s garage rock ride. Queens Of The Stone Age - yeah yeah not scandinavian indie is it, but Kyuss did *everything* right, got to keep following the former members :P. Fireside - miss this concert at your own peril... I saw Fireside live earlier this spring here in Linkoping and they blew me away. Their new album is *so* highly recommended it's scary. If you think you know what they sound like, think again. Audioslave - well, I used to be a grunge junkie hehe, Chris Cornell + RATM = a pretty nice combination. The Raveonettes - totally brilliant rock/pop from denmark. I don't know about the Jesus & Mary Chain comparisons though, but they got them sweet disted and dirty guitars, which is enough for me. The Hives - Anyone not heard of The Hives yet? Didn't think so :P Hopefully playing some new material, since we've heard all the Veni Vidi Vicious songs for a couple of years now. Not that the old songs are bad, they're not, but I wouldn't mind hearing something new too. Union Carbide Productions - This band tried and tried, but they were too early with their brilliant pop, so they kind of broke up and reformed and became Soundtrack Of Our Lives - and got that break they had been looking for. This "reunion" concert is not to be missed!! The full line-up for the festival can be found at: www.rockparty.se Cheers // Erik

MOTOSIERRA - RULES!!!
by Syd 11 Jun '03

MYRMECOLEO RECORDS (Japan): MOTOSIERRA RULES!!! CROSSBEAT MAGAZINE (JAPAN). "Motosierra is the punk rock 'n' roll band from Uruguay of South America. This 2nd full-length album contains fast tunes that reminds me of Zeke and Puffball, and some mid-tempo tunes, but all songs are kickass. Not only the guitars but also the drums are so noisy, and the vocals are brutal and hot. I describe they mix Motorhead and hardcore with high energy. Last but not least, the last song (?) called "Kamikaze Blues" is dangerous and cool!" DAREDEVIL MAGAZINE & RCDS. (GERMANY). Yeah - the 4 killers from Uruguay are back with their legendary, 2nd full-length album. After some compiltation contributions, they hammered 14 short, fast and loud slaughters into that release. This is raw, this is heavy! I like WE SELL, YOU BUY and SPACECOWBOY very much. But all tracks are on the same high level and don`t leave prisoners. They kill! First rule - no rules...that is the trademark from Motosierra. Listen to (I WANNA) FUCK MYSELF and you know what I mean. If you like it hard, heavy, fast, raw and short - this is your first choice!!! The kings of RAWK will kick your ass!!!! WWW.MOTOSIERRA.NET keep in touch sükkers! rock on! Syd.
