More Rockbusters...
New dates have been added to the live section. For the first

also end this great year with two nights at Patricia before x-mas.
But don't forget to see us there this weekend!

I am very happy to have my old friend and partner in crime

for the last 17 years. Rob is one of Swedens best kept secrets.
Don't miss these two exclusive gigs!

Update
Summertime is over and it's time to start working on new
projects. I got a few up my sleeve but it's a little to early to reveal
them at the moment. If it all turns out well, I will post them here in
the upcoming weeks.
Rockbusters got two private gigs this month but in October everybody
can see us rock. The three nights at Dubliner had to be
canceled due to two gigs in Åland. I don't know the name of the
place yet but I will add it on the live page as soon as I know it.

Rasmus and the Wreckless on Friday 17 and Saturday 18.

Press stop!
This just came in!
I'm doing a gig tonight at Pub Anchor in Stockholm with Dimitri Keiski
(Insania), Peter Hallgren (Stars Of The silverscreen) and Marcel Jacob
(Talisman). It'll be fun jamming with the guys again.
The gig with Ozzy The Coverband last night went great. I had so much
fun last night. My thanx to the guys in the band!

Ozzy?
No, not really! I will do one gig with Ozzy The Coverband at Virserum
Motorcycle club in Virserum tomorrow night. The band is, as the name
hints, a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.
A new song is out.
In other news. There is a sound clip of a new Eclipse tune at
melodicrock.com called Unbreakable. The song was included
in Eclipse's live set during 2005. The demo version
that's out has me playing drums on it. I also did the arrangement of the
song. As you know I'm not a part of Eclipse since November 06.

More bookings...
There's been more Rockbusters gigs booked in October. Two shows
at Patricia and three nights at Dubliner. It all happens in Stockholm.
I did one gig with swedish 80's rockers Sha-Boom a week ago. It was
my first gig with them for 1 ½ year and it was a blast. Hopefully I will do
more shows with them if it fits my schedule.

It's been a long time...
Two new gigs has been booked. The first is a private gig tomorrow with
Rockbusters and the second is a just-for-fun gig at Pub Anchor
in Stockholm this Thursday. I have'nt played Anchor since October last year
so it should be a lot of fun.
This temporary band is, besides me on drums, Dimitri Keiski
(Insania) on bass and vocals and Peter Östros (Jaded Heart, Insania) on
guitar. If you are a regular on my site you should know that Dimitri joined
Rockbusters for the gigs in Finland. Peter is one of my oldest friends.
We started playing music together when we were teenagers. We have
since then played together on and off in different bands.
The set will probably contain songs by Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and
maybe some Kiss songs. Who knows? Well I don't, It's just a guess!

Talisman tour!
I've done three shows with the band Talisman on their farewell tour.
Two in Greece and one in Belgium. The reason was that original
drummer Jamie Borger could'nt participate on these shows.
I had such a great time. The band and the fans made me feel very welcome.
As it was my birthday May 25, nearly 1000 people sang "Happy Birthday"
to me at the show in Athens. At the "meet and greet" at a rockklubb
after the show, this friendly girl (who also had her birthday) brought us a
birthday cake. Soooo nice.
I want to thank Marcel, Jeff (Heff?), Brian and all in the Talisman camp
for these great days.
For more info and live clips from the tour, check out Marcel Jacob's
tour diary at www.talismanworld.com and for pictures go to

Rockbusters tonight!
The gig with Rockbusters at Patricia this past weekend was great. We've never
played that good I think, we really kicked. It was a pleasure playing with
Erik again. I'm sure we're gonna sound that good tonight as we're doing
Patricia once again.
If you're in the neighbourhood, come and have a few beers with us.

RockbustersROCKED Helsinki!
I'm back after one week in Finland! Rockbusters ROCKED!
It's been more than great. Doing Led Zeppelin's "Moby Dick" in front of
that audience was awesome.
I want to thank Dimitri Keski for an excellent job filling in for Erik, who was
unable to join us on this trip. To the staff at Molly Malones.
And a big thank you to the audience, who went totaly crazy.

More dates for Rockbusters has been confirmed. We're playing at Patricia, Harry's

There's been talk of some dates for Seventh Sign aswell. But the scedule
