Webcuts Music

This summer seems to be the season for some of Webcuts Scandinavian HQ’s favourite acts from the ’90s to butt their way out of a prolonged hibernation and start on new pastures.

Webcuts already reviewed Yvonne’s comeback gig in Gothenburg but now it is time for Swedish lo-fi and alt.country fans to get their own special treat. Christian Kjellvander and the rest of the boys from Loosegoats will reunite for three concerts, including one at Pustervik during the Way out West festival in Gothenburg. Shows in Malmö and Lund,  although still unconfirmed, are also on the cards, according to an interview with guitarist Magnus Melli Anderson conducted by Sydsvenksan.

Loosegoats formed in Malmö during 1994, and were influenced by both country rock and grunge. After they released three moderately successful albums, Kjellvander went his own way in 2001 for a successful solo career. The band started stiring again a few years ago and recently they started jamming just for laughs, but now feel ready to share their old gems with the rest of the country. But don’t expect any new treats, no new tracks have been recorded and there aren’t any on the way either. Instead they will recycle the set list from their last concert eight years ago. Hopefully the band will be encouraged by the response to the concerts and bring us some new tracks in the coming years. We can dream…
