Belgrade gig
(Click on photos for high resolution version)
Flunk played live in Belgrade last weekend. Good fun, even did a radio show on Sunday.
Here are pictures from the show. Support band was the very amusing Swedish singer/songwriter Karl-Jonas Winqvist and his band. MySpace site here. He’s also in a band called First Flower Power – in fact the band all looked like the cast of brilliant Swedish director Lukas Moodysson‘s hippie movie Tilsammans (Together).
Other news? Well, we’re working on the album. Hopefully it’s finished by christmas. And it will – if all goes as planned – be out on April 30th next year. It’s going to be called Common Sense.
And oh, apparently See Thru You (off the For Sleepyheads Only album) appeared in a love scene in an episode of the ABC series Brothers & Sisters (Sally Field, Rachael Griffiths, Calista Flockhart…) this week. According to our best friend in the US, Beth Sereni.
And Blue Monday will be featured in the upcoming Nancy Drew movie, to be released next year.
Remember to check out our MySpace site.
Digital Miss World
Today our digital only KEXP Live Sessions EP is out on iTunes, two weeks ahead of time. It an iTunes exclusive, but will be available on other sites from November.
Also, Beatservice Records are releasing a digital version of our debut single/EP Miss World. It’s been out on vinyl 12″ only, originally released in April 2002. Out very soon with brand new ‘Sleepyheads series’ cover art (as seen above).
Live EP out in October
Some pieces of news from the Flunk camp:
The in-studio live session for KEXP in Seattle will be released as a digital EP on October 9th. This is thanks to the nice people at KEXP. The four track acoustic EP is out on Beatservice Records, and will probably be an iTunes exclusive release – at least initially.
The tracklisting:
1. See You (THE Depeche Mode cover)
2. The Koolest Smile
3. Play
4. Kemikal Girl
We will upload the tracks on the Flunk MySpace site very soon!
Read more at the Beatservice website.
Also, our debut album, For Sleepyheads Only (original Beatservice version), has been re-released in the US. It’s slightly different from the Guidance Recordings version released 2002. More at the Beatservice website.
Concerning our festival appearance in Istanbul next weekend (the Chill-Out Festival 2006 on Sunday September 10), it’s still on. Hopefully the recent bombings in Istanbul and other tourist locations have quitened down by then…
Listen to the KEXP in-studio session
On May 4th, we did a in-studio recording for KEXP in Seattle. The four songs (and an interview) are available for streaming on KEXP’s website (clich here!).
The tracks were: Kemikal Girl, Play, Your Koolest Smile and See You (Depeche Mode cover!).

Here we are now
OK, so we should have other stuff to do – for instance make a new album. But we are, and we’ll try to tell you about how it comes along.
Jo the guitar player is back from six months in Iran in a week or so, which means we have the troops ready for the studio sessions. I have done some homework, and singer Anja is shortly due to figure out some tracks.
The working title of the album is Night Beat, a title which Jo is not very fond of. I guess we’ll have to talk about that one when he gets home. I’d like to call it Alcohol Makes You So Much More Fun, but our US label doesn’t really think that’s a good idea, for some reason…
