I spent the weekend in Värnamo, three and a half hours south of Stockholm by train, rehearsing with Världens Bästa Band for a gig in Halmstad this Thursday. The band’s repertoire consists of Swedish and international rock classics. We had a great time and I even went for a swim in the freezing water after a few beers in the sauna at singer/guitarist Alex’s place.

I managed to get my hands on a Fender Bass VI yesterday, which was great! Absolutely in love with this awesome instrument which is a hybrid of bass and guitar. I plan to use it primarily with the new band I’ve started with Bella Sohlberg and Gustav Löfstrand. We’re still concentrating on writing songs, but will soon begin to focus a bit more on our arrangements and on finding the right sound for our band.
