We flew US Airways from Gatwick to Louisville via Charlotte, NC wich was a very
good route to take. Flights on time, small non-busy airports and easy check in. A big thank you goes out to all our friends (you know who you are) and to Gary Jacob and the team for having us again. We'll be back! And hey, standing on a 19th floor balcony when lightning struck the roof sign was pretty scary! Peace&Love Janne May 19

In the meantime, the Repeatles are rehearsing new songs, old songs, blue songs
and borrowed songs for a stint of Christmas gigs We are also planning our future as a band and deciding what direction we are going to take... All we can say right now is that the band is sounding really good and we are all looking forward to seeing you all again next year in the USA and wherever else we go... Until then, be safe and enloy life! the Repeatles, the flag-bearers of Power Pop & 60s Beat music September 13

It was a warm summer night in Stockholm, one of those unsual, almost
mediterranean ones that we dream about, bur rarely get, when my old band from the 80s
August 5 STRINDBERGS play a gig at Kulturhuset, Stockholm, Sweden sold out July 30 Updated my bio a little bit. July 7 Lots of older pictures discovered on a backup server. Find them in the misc-gallery. July 3 Gig list for Beatleweek ready. Find it here. June 18 Gallery for 2009 is coming! June 10
The Repeatles are back in Sweden again, and I write this feeling like TIm
Buckley, that is; Happy/Sad.
We had a great time in spite of broken guitar necks and colds, and played some
of our best shows ever in I would like to thank the following people for being lovely human beings: May the best Karma follow you through every life!
Hal & Shelley Bruce See you all sometime in the future! Today's motto: don't procrastinate!
Janne on behalf of The Repeatles May 18
April 29 See you all in the U.S.A!!! March 5 Arnie's bio under construction... March 4 Steve's bio has arrived... short but sweet! March 3 Pete's bio has arrived! Read it and enjoy... Jan's bio updated, well worth seeing! February 24 Rumour has it we are going to be playing at Beatle Week for the 7th consecutive year in August! Good news to some, we hope! February 13 (Friday)
Revised setlists now published. The idea was to reduce the number of songs we
play to make room for new material. On another topic; we haven't heard anything from Liverpool this year, but so far only the bigger act have been named. Rumour has it they will start contacting bands in a couple of weeks. Are we up for it again? Speaking for myself (Jan) yes... As for the others, I think so... more info when we have it. February 5 Good news from the AROTR/Jacob camp! We are rehearsing for our shows in the States and hopefully we will bring you some cool surprises! January 16, 2009 Welcome to the new year everybody!
The Repeatles have started rehearsing and planning ahead. After a bit of
flaffing about we finally got back into gear
This is actually the first time since the spring of '07 that we have rehearsed regularly! Of course this is down to me being back in Sweden again. Hopefully we can get some recording done of some original songs as well.
See you later December 29, 2008 Merry Christmas & Happy New year! December 5, 2008 A few new pictures from Belleville in the Gallery section. November 27, 2008 A couple of new songs in the download section. November 22, 2008
It's snowing in Stockholm and the Repeatles are taking it easy. More news about
next year's activities October 22, 2008
October 21, 2008 Download section now in operation! Find two live numbers here, for you pleasure! Happy birthday Peter! October 2, 2008 "Come Dancing" at Theatre Royal, Stratford was wonderful! A great little piece of English history... Loosely based on Ray's family in the 50s, and especially his sister Julie, who dies at the age of 19. But it's not sad, it's a heartfelt tribute to a long gone era, as a lot of Ray's songwriting has been as well. The story takes place in "the Palais", a dancehall where the Davies' (here "Waller") all went dancing and where his mother used to sing with the band. The main theme of course is the Kinks song "Come Dancing", and during the play, Ray realises that it was actually written as a tribute to Julie. Ray himself plays the narrator, sings a bit and the second song is actually "Tired Of Waiting". The rest of the music is written specifically for the play. The cast is doing a great job, and sometimes you actually get a "Grease/Singiging In The Rain" vibe. Lovely costumes and the stage is built like a dancehall where some of the audience actually sit on stage as if they were part of the show. .
October 1, 2008
Janne here: my bio has been updated by none other than ME! Still waiting
for pics and words from the other authors. Tonight I'm seeing Ray Davies' play "Come Dancing" in Stratford. Review tomorrow. September 29, 2008 Jan and Steve partied in London. September 23, 2008 Jan got hold of a Gibson ES 355 in satin black with Bigsby from Gibson Custom Shop. September 15, 2008 Arnie bought a brand new Gibson Thunderbird. September 12, 2008 The BAND tab is open, with a little help from a "cosmic freind" (sic). The SETLISTS tab came to life with the aid of someone who clearly knows what songs we play! September 9, 2008
We are building a new homepage as you may have noticed. In the meantime, the NEWS, GIGS and GUESTBOOK sections are open. Be patient my friends... |
