The Backstage Festival, 8 August 2009

Reform at Myspace

Every year music enthusiasts from different parts of Sweden meet to celebrate The Backstage Festival in Lerdala, Skara, Sweden. The festival is hosted by Mats Jarl, a legend among music enthusiasts and record collectors.

I have mentioned Mats before, and will for sure continue doing so, since he is my mentor both musically and spiritually.

He had a dream and that dream consisted of uniting musicians with their groups and introduce them to each other.

The festival is very special in that sense that the stage is turned towards the "backstage area". This means that the ones watching the concerts are also the ones playing. Every act is about 20 minutes which means that there are a lot of music during one night.

Mats also has a studio, which I have mentioned before, Alice's Restaurant. The studio was built thanks to his late aunt Alice. Therefore the name. After all the concerts those who feel like it can assemble in the studio for a jam session.

Yerning for music as always Anders, Johan and I will play the festival. We still haven't come up with a name. Maybe you can help us? Last year Glasson played the festival with Anders substituting Janne Kullhammar. It was a great concert although it had to be interrupted because of rain.

I will also play with a formation of Carl-Eiwar Sect. This formation will consist of

Ulf Henningsson: Guitar
Jesper Bergman: Bass
Magnus 'Bjurre' Bjurén: drums

It will be a nice reunion. The same formation played the festival 2 years ago. It was agreat experience for me. Magnus 'Bjurre' Bjurén is an original member of the Swedish punk rock group Asta Kask and he has an incredible drive.

I will keep you up to date!
Take care!
Jesper
