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.

Istanbul, Constantinople


Above is a some photos from our trip to Istanbul a couple of weeks ago. The interior photo is from our hotel, Pera Palas, a hotel often used by passangers on the Orient Express. Agatha Christie stayed there several times, including – many believe – during a spell in 1926, when she disappeared from her home in England for 11 days. Read the full Agatha Christie/Pera Palas story here.
Pera Palas is a famous hotel, with tourists pouring into the lobby on Sunday mornings. And the hotel bar had an atmosphere that made you feel you were back in the hotel’s early days, built in 1891.
The photos from the show are taken by I˙lker Kopan. He is a photographer and a Flunk fan. Thanks a lot for sending them to us! (high solution versions available if you click the photos!)

Live at KEXP


Here are some Flunk people outside radio station KEXP in Seattle this afternoon. We did four tracks live in the studio, and the recordings will be put out as a podcast soon on KEXP’s site.
We did Your Koolest Smile, Play, Kemikal Girl and a beautiful stripped down version of Depeche Modes See You.
Now we’re off to soundcheck at Chop Suey…

Right here, right now

Just a photo proof that we’re in Seattle, and doing well (on the right you see Anja and Jo going into yet another guitar shop), on the left Jo, drummer Erik and Anja down by the water…
Arrived yesterday, did an interview for the show Fusion today, and getting ready for the gig at Chop Suey tomorrow night!
We love the city, by the way!

Practice, eh?


Just a quick note between rehearsals for the upcoming US tour (and to show you very rare pictures of Flunk actually rehearsing!). We’re doing Seattle in just over a week, and really looking forward to it. We’ll do all the Flunk favourites, there’s a rather fresh new band version of Your Koolest Smile and Play, hopefully there will be one or two brand new tracks, but the song we’re most excited about right now, I guess, is a cover of Depeche Modes See You.

The studio sessions are moving slowly, but it feels like a great album. Lots of tracks, too many, but we’ll sort it all out!
