SXSW 2010 or BUST!
Project by Mixtapes & Cellmates
We've been invited to SXSW before, but didn't have the money to get there. This time, we have tried to play as much as possible to get money for the trip, but it's really hard nowadays. Our dream is to get to Austin, show our music and love to our fans and everyone else at the SXSW festival. Please help us make this real! Please spread the word! Your support will be paid back with so much love that you almost can't breathe!!!
Project location: Austin, TX

The band started in 2005. Robert, Johan and former member Olle did some home studio recordings in a bedroom. Later on, Robert talked to Matilda and Henning to join the live setup. The songs from the bedroom recording became June EP and spread on the Internet. Since then, we have changed band members and done live shows around Sweden, Germany and Italy. We have also released the EP, "If There Is Silence Fill It With Longing" and an album (s/t 2007). In February 2008, we started the making of Rox. We wanted a change from the electronic, backtrack based sound, so we threw away the Ipod and took in Viktor on live drums instead. This time we made music together and we were more of a band than ever.
