Stars in Coma

Right now I’m producing the debut album of Tiny Tide, a sweet indie pop band/solo project from beautiful Italy. You can listen to what we’re up to on their blog tinytide.blogspot.com, so check it out!

It’s no secret that I am a huge Brian Eno fan. So when American label Burning Sky Records contacted me (about a year ago) to provide a song for their Roxy Music tribute project I took the chance to record the Eno song “Taking Tiger Mountain”. But that’s no Roxy Music song you might ask! Nope, but the project is splitted into three discs with one of them being called “Roxy Progeny” including covered songs by artists who was associated with Roxy Music (and as you all know, Brian Eno was in the early incarnation of Roxy Music). The other two discs focus on early and late Roxy Music respectively. The discs are not out until September 15, but you can pre-order them here.

Visit Myspace to hear my version of “Taking Tiger Mountain” and hear the original on Spotify.

Beside from my duties in Stars in Coma, I also play keyboard in Lisa Bouvier and the Pop Messengers. The 10th July we play at the Hultsfred Festival, so come and see us at Stora Dansbanan if you’re around! We promise an uplifting pop show that surely will put a smile on your face.

the Spanish pop blog A Pleasant Dream has written a long post about Stars in Coma. They go through the whole discography (from the 2005 release “Gizmo Goes To War” to present date), so if you’re a Spanish-speaker and wanna know more about SiC, this piece of work is probably a good start.

Link here for some more information about “Sisters”.

Next Wednesday (20th May) we play a show at Wermlands Nation in Lund. I think only student’s are allowed in, but if you are a non-student and in the neighbourhood, just mail me and perhaps we can set something up.

EDIT: No non-students are allowed at all. Sorry for the misleading information.

Now for something completely different…

The new album is called SISTERS, not Sister. Is it so hard to spell one little word correct? Ok, I would be more forgiving if my album was called something like The Distance of Radiant Diva  Eclipsed My Ashes Into Eternity While My Aunt Is Making Turkey but in this case I’m not. It just shows that you don’t really care.

This is kind of the same thing when all the teachers in school called me Andreas instead of my real name.  It’s all coming back to me!

Thanks for the support. Good night.

In addition to all this, here’s a video of “Underneath A Fallen Leaf”. It’s an acoustic version from our Balcony Session (recorded in September 2008 I think…).

So the new album is out today! Unfortunately Music Is My Girlfriend have some trouble with their webshop but that should be up and running during the day. In the meantime, go ahead and listen to the new songs I’ve uploaded on Myspace
