Hej,

Cats on fire, samt mitt och Iiris projekt Vasas flora och fauna, kommer att dyka upp i radio i Svenskfinland under den kommande veckan.

Först jag och Ville i Stiftelsen i Radio X3M, fredagen den 11 maj kl 16.

Sedan jag (och kanske Iiris, vilket då skulle bli Vasas flora och fauna) i Radio Vegas Kulturtimmen tisdagen den 15 maj.

Och till sist Vasas flora och fauna i Radio Vega Österbotten kl 4 på onsdagen den 16 maj.

That’s more like it. Sweet. Makes me blush… compliments for never overplaying the hand, yep, thanks. But wait, “perhaps one of the reasons they haven’t ‘cracked’ the English language independent music world“. Hmm… interesting, very interesting…

I’ve changed my mind. I think we need to take that hand now and overplay it like there was no tomorrow. I want to ‘crack’.

Here’s Ville in his pyjamas, showing off the All Blackshirts to Me vinyl. It was released by Cargo and can be bought from various friendly record shops, e.g. Stupido in Helsinki. Ask for it!

…has to be noted:

Cats on Fire are sleeping on someone’s floor tonight. By rights, it should be the Queen’s; by rights, as everyone here knows, they should be stars.

– Neil Kulkarni

Yes, that’s what I’ve been going on about. The Queen’s floor!

Cats on Fire will play in the following Swedish municipalities in July: Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö and Haninge. On Saturday, when I was waiting for my friends at the Jakob Hellman & Nerverna concert, someone shouted “Cats on fire!” with the follow-up question “Are you still playing?”. That’s always depressing to hear, since you realize your media strategy hasn’t quite panned out. It is true that we’ve always circled a bit aimlessly below the radar here in Sweden. We are still good though!

20/7: Debaser Slussen, Stockholm
21/7: Jazzhuset, Göteborg
27/7: Debaser, Malmö
28/7: Special set at the Cosy Den festival on the Saturday of the Cosy Den Festival, Haninge.

Those who have followed us through the years know our special relationship with Cosy Den and we are very proud that we are still considered good enough to be on the bill.
