From Scandinavia With Love

The weather has shifted for the worse here. Below zero at night...not too much warmer during the day. It made me think of how cold it must get in the land bringing the music world a new and vital wave of rock n roll (The Peepshows, The Hellacopters, Gluecifer, Puffball, Turbonegro, etc., etc.). Nevermind that some of the great Scandinavian bands have broken up or are breaking up, the music is still way more important to rock than here in the States. All of this introspection got me digging through old images. Here are some of some great bands from that part of the world. Makes me think I might need to scan some negs from the past ten or so years and get those old images out. I will post some as I do.....
