One more kickdrum for the road
Ah well, finally a date has been set for Uppsala. December 12, people. At Klubb Rotor. I’m planning for it to be a very special evening so if you have nothing else to do, welcome to join in the party!
Sadly or hopefully (depends on how you look at it), this may be the last gig I’ll do in a long time. I read today that Chris Martin (of all people!) said you shouldn’t be in a band after you’re 33. Although I have some years to go, I absolutely agree with him. Pop music should be fresh, it should be about doing stuff because it hasn’t been done before, because it’s outrageous and fun. My Mr.Suitcase moniker has been around for over 3 years and frankly, when I do new stuff now I’m just repeating myself.
Habit and fear of change are the worst reasons for ever doing anything!
No, no… It’s not the end. It’s not goodbye. That would be just too much drama. But December 12 marks the beginning of a break, an interlude. I don’t know what’s waiting on the other side of that. How it will sound, what I’ll do. But I’ve had so much fun and I am so pleased with the “Guidelines…” and “Frauds” albums and there’s no use chasing dreams when they’re already fulfilled.
But… When you think that it’s over, well it hasn’t even begun.
See you in Uppsala!

Stumbled accross this whilst searching for something else. I would just like to say that Chris martin is a king sized twa* for saying that, an it’s the biggest pile of rubbish i’ve ever heard in my life (unless you’re doing bubblegum teeny pop, in which case maybe it’d be a bit wrong)
You should do something if it’s in your calling to do it, and within your capability of doing it well whatever age you are, an screw anyone who says otherwise. Furthermore it’s a very tired outmoded view (an very much a UK based one) of music business pundits an pr people that all things fresh new radical or interesting sounding will only ever be created by the youth dem etc…
