Review from the gig in Örebro

Our local newspaper made a review of the gig at Satin. Read it HERE
The reviewer felt sort of the same thing that I described in my earlier post, it was not our best gig. But one really good thing was that Calle got the cred that he deserves for his guitarskills! Calle does most of the music and has a very good talent for melodies and harmonies within the guitars. We’re blessed to have him in the band!!! 
Anders Jakobsson who made the review is a really good writer and critic and we’re glad that he reviews us. The review of the album from NA will be up shortly.

Västerås tonight

We are Mammuth – hard and Christian =)
The local newspaper in Västerås VLT made an interview about the gig tonight with the headline “Mammuth is screaming for peace!” I like that, that is what I would like mammuth to be, music that desperately seeking for peace and justice.
On the more fun side, the text under the photo says: “This is Mammuth – Hard and Christians.” Says more about the reporter then about us, when will people stop being amazed that Christians are individuals as well as other people. That all kinds of people are Christians with different interests and with different taste in music.
Probably we Christians have been hiding too much in our churches so the prejudices have been able to grow in society.

About the gig last night
About 80 -100 people showed up and that was really good considering the short notice, thank you all for coming. Unfortunatly we didn’t do one of our best gigs, at least that was our feeling of it after the show. t’s very interesting what make a show good, bad or great. The sound on stage makes a lot for the feeling, also the response we get from the audience is very important ofcourse. Sometimes it just feels like every song is a struggle and yesterday was one of those gigs. The audience was good and contained a lot of our friends so I really don’t know why it didn’t feel better. But a lot of people gave us good credit and encouragements afterwards so maybe it was just our feeling that was wrong =)

Anyway, it was fun to play in Örebro and we’re looking forward to tonights gig in Västerås!

A Very Nice Evening!!

Our first releaseparty ever was a lot of fun.
We wanted to make a relaxed party for friends, families and fans just to celebrate the new cd, and it was a perfect night. Backman (on the pic) had made a lot of good food and our stand in George played some of his songs live. We introduced the cd and now it’s welcomed to the world =)

Finally the day is here. The release of the new album. As you know we’ll have a release-party tomorrow but from now on you can buy the cd on the Internet or in your local cd store. If they don’t have it yet, make them take it in. The code for the cd is TALKCD1073 and it is distributed by Bonnier Amigo.

During the day you will be able to listen to new tracks from the album on our Myspace site and i hope that you will support us and buy the album as soon as possible!!

Good news for our international friends
You can now order the cd from our good german friends at Musicfreaks.de Go and do it now!
In Scandinavia we recommend for example www.cdon.com or www.ginza.se but it is a big help for us if you ask for the cd in your local store!

If you have the cd already, Let us know what you think
Use the comments for this blogpost to give your review of the album.
During the following days I will try to write something about all of the songs. But go now and get yourself a copy of the album!!!

Thank you Borgrock!!!

We’re back from a very nice weekend in Finland!
It was the first time that this festival was and the organizers did an amazing job. Very good stage and sound and they took very good care of us as a band.

But the best part was the audience, they had hoped for 300 people, but it was over 600 and it was awesome to play for them. So if you were there, a big thank you! You made our trip, it was an honour for us to play for you! Drop us a note in the comments to this post or at our guestbook. We love to hear from you!

Tomorrow I will put online some pics and movieclips from the consert but until then here’s some other pics from the visit at Borgrock and Finland.

Mammuth at the merchtable, it’s a great place to talk to the audience beforre and after the show.

I like this picture, this is rock!

Calle and the mainspeaker Tim Guénard

Festival – A place to meet new people… and to eat

Finally a picture of our audience for the evening! Thank you for being there!

Releaseparty plus new gigdate

On Thursday we’ll have a little party!!!
It is valentines day, and since the album’s name is the medical term for a broken heart, in someway it seems like a good idea to combine the release party and valentines day!
So if you’re in Örebro you are more then welcome to celebreate the new album with us and also welcome our guitarplayer Calle home from Africa. This is not a gig, it’s more like a birthdayparty for the album!

The party is for free and open for anyone and you can ofcourse buy the album for a very nice price at the party!!!

We have a new gigdate confirmed as well:
23 februari at “Sigurdsgatan 25” in Västerås, Sweden. More info soon!!!

It’s in our hands…

And here it is, what we have been working for and talked about for so long.
A strange feeling of satisfaction mixed with “is that all?” and “now what?” followed when we unpacked the box full with our new cd’s… It has been a long road since the first blogpost about the album and now it’s done… A great album is made!
But now starts the real work, a cd is nothing unless someone listens to it. Sowe’re planning for gigs and later today I’ll announce the next gig that is booked. It’s going to be a lot of fun to tour with this album.

Two other things have arrived as well…
Calle is finally back from africa, still a bit ill but he’s definatly back. On the pic down below he’s also holding our new Fairtrade tshirts that came yesterday.

A reminder to the swedish people:
Det gäller att passa på att beställa skivan (vilket redan ganska många gjort) direkt av oss. Den 13 februari stänger vi förhandsbokningsmöjligheten…
skicka ett mail till thecardiacdefect@gmail.com och skriv din adress och antal skivor. 150 ink frakt är ett trevligt pris!

A lot of good music… =)

Africa-Calle and our new tshirt!
