Bromance!

Davy Vain, Steven Adler and me backstage at The Whiskey.

Last night in Hollywood

It was Crüe Fest at The Whiskey a Go Go and we were specially invited. Had such a great time meeting up with Steven Adler (Guns n' Roses), Chip (Enuff Z'Nuff) and Stacey (LA Guns). I'm gonna miss everybody so bad as we go back home. At least I get one more day in San Francisco tomorrow.

Hollywood Boulevard



Right now we're taking the whole Hollywood Boulevard in and tonight we'll try and make out to Crüe Fest at Whiskey a Go Go.

Yesterday's Glasses

Birthday Bash

Me and Davy had a great day rumbling the streets of Melrose and Beverly Hills. 
We had a fantastic steak at the Rainbow and everybody sang happy birthday for me. 
Now we're hanging out in the upstairs bar with Snake (Skid Row), Pauley Perrette (Abby in NCIS) and a lot of other nice people.

Business break

I had to swing by my office down in Beverly Hills for some last minute decisions.

Home sweet home

This is our pad for the weekend. Or spaceship if you prefer.

Brunch at Urth Caffée

So my birthday started off really good with a healthy brunch and now we're ready to go sightseeing.

LA Night One

Me and Davy drove down to LA today and his sweet friend Kat was kind enough to lend her house to us for a few days. It's just a 10 minute walk from the Sunset Strip so we're already out feeling the vibe. Our first stop was Whiskey a Go Go where Dizzy from Guns n' Roses played. Now we're at the Rainbow where we met up with Davy's old friend Sebastian Bach from Skid Row. So for just a couple of hours in the city I'm sure we'll have a great time here.

World Famous Davy Vain Nature Tour

I had  another amazing day in the surroundings of San Francisco. We went out for some serious critter spotting and managed to find quite a lot of it. Everything from Vultures to Seals and small Snakes to Slugs. I got to see everything from the foggy valleys to the sunny beaches to the damp reptile spots and the fresh Red Wood forest.

Here's a little bit of my days adventure.

Boys toys

Trash Fest is over and I had the most amazing time with all my new friends. I even popped the cherry as I did my first ever live performance with the All Stars band.
Yesterday we had an all American barbecue featuring a beer-bong and a 6 foot inflatable penis. And that was just right up the Smyrna-boys alley as you can see.

Settled in Philly

We finally arrived at the Legendary Dobbs for tonight's Trash Fest madness.

SMYRNA

Yesterday we went to the Christiana Mall for some shopping. And I gotta say that air conditioning is a very nice invention on days when it's over 100 F.
In the evening we were invited home to Grandma Trash for a proper italian dinner which was absolutely amazing.

US Entry

So I finally made it to Philadelphia. I got held up at the customs for 2 hours by a very suspicious homeland security officer who thought my purpose of the trip was very strange. She went through my bags more than once and everything went very slow.
But I finally made it out to the land of the free and got picked up to be driven home to the Mama Trash house. We had a nice dinner and a lot of drinks with the gang.

I also found a really cool widget for musicians. If you have problems with persistent fans that will say. Haha!

Challes de Galles fun!

Killing time in Paris

Bye, bye Stockholm!

It's 4:30 in the morning and I'm on my way out to the airport.
I have a transfer in Paris where I get to wait 4 hours. But then finally I'll be in Philadelphia 4:05 AM local time... hopefully.

TFUS! Only 4 days left

On Wednesday morning it's time for me to leave Sweden for 2 weeks.
First stop is of course Philadelphia, PA for Trash Fest US where I'll be hosting, DJing and playing in the All Star band. If you still haven't got your tickets, get them HERE.

When I'm done in Philly I'll fly across the country to San Francisco to meet up with the other guys in VAIN. Hopefully we'll have time for some recordings of various kind while I'm there.

Sonisphere Stockholm!

The festival was amazing this year. I didn't get to see all the bands but I really enjoyed Kvelertak, Mastodon, Airbourne and Mustasch. 
 It was a lot of fun DJing both outdoors during the day and at the after party with Hubbe (8-ball) and Ryan Roxie (Alice Cooper), such an amazing crowd.


Empty festival before doors.


Crowded festival after doors.


Happy little Airbourne climbing guitarplayer.


Our crowd at the afterparty.

DJ marathon at Sonisphere

On Saturday I'll be doing two DJ sets at Sonisphere here in Stockholm.
During the day you'll find me inside the "Norrlands Guld" beer-tent in front of the Saturn stage.
At 10 PM I'm moving in to Globen-Annexet where the afterparty is held.
That's a total of 15 hours.

Saddle & Sabre

Here I'm sitting at coolest country-music/steakhouse in Stockholm with my work-related injury in my forehead. But it's time to start moving out to Gröna Lund where Alice Cooper is playing tonight.
