Temple Of Lola

Hey!
Autumn is here and I´ve got the blues.... Seems like all my favourite musicians are passing away. Little Freddie King is missing after Hurricane Katrina. Clarence Gatemouth Brown passed yesterday.... I tell ya! It must be sweet up there in heaven, or maybe hell, I don´t know. Strange times...
The gig last friday went pretty well, considering it was thrown togheter rahter haphazardly and we played a bunch of songs we don´t normally do I´d say it felt pretty good. Played half the show with Toms Telecaster, that is one sweet guitar! The other half I played with the Hagström/Bjärton acoustic that my father bought in ´68. Still the best guitar ever made. Built like a tank. Thick neck, never stays in tune, no tone unless you use strings thicker than 0.12, and I love it.
We are getting ready to rehearse and record some new material. Next gig isn´t until late october so we should have something ready and hopefully out by that time. Keep your fingers crossed. We have some really great song to lay on ya! The new songs have a sort of swagger to them that we didn´t have before. It´s all about the groove these days. I have never heard marcus play the drums like this before. He blows me away every time.
Anyway we´re gonna produce the new songs ourselves, hopefully with some help from our good friend Johan Sandén.
I´d like to thank all the people that came to the show and made it special. Hope to see you next time!
´Til then
Be good, make love.
Peace John
