Desperate Romantics have a new video on Youtube! It's the song Take it to the Limit from the CD Romantic Revolution, shot on location at Fåfängan, Stockholm and in the band's rehearsal studio.
Featuring only Jan, Pete & Steve as the new bass player isn't official yet.

Expect some line-up changes within the near future...

All will be revealed at the next DesRom gig, at Big Ben Pub in Stockholm on December 14!

June 28

The Repeatles have now booked flights for the USA-Canada tour of 2011!

See gigs for more info on the shows.

June 3

Second gig with Desperate Romantics took place at Vurma in Stockholm, together with our friends t.A.b.F.

Recording is slow but going well. We have so far mixed two songs: Take It To The Limit and The Last Great Dreamer.

June 4 is gig time again, this time at Smaka på Stockholm in Kungsträdgården.
This will make it 28 years ago that Janne played there with Strindbergs. A legendary
show in the annals of Swedish rock!

And of course only three years to the day since the Repeatles played that same stage!
