Accelerator Festival


So here goes sweden then. We did two shows as part of the accelerator festival in Gothenborg and Stockholm. Yesterday saw us playing with Death Cab For Cutie, Regina Spektor and Hot Chip. I got to meet Peter Buck from REM which was kinda cool, he was playing with his side project Robin Hitchcock and The Minus 3.
Today in Stockholm saw us take to the stage after sets by The Spinto Band

And The Raconteurs

And Jack White came by the dressing room after the show to speak to the band, seems like a very nice chap!!
Bizarrely we are staying at a hotel inside stockholm airport tonight as you can see from this photo taken through the lobby window, Yes that is a jumbo jet you can see.

Anyway, time to get on the bus to the hotel for a few hours sleep before an early morning flight to Dublin and the Oxegen Festival where we will be joined by The Who, The Strokes, Feeder, We Are Scientists, Editors and about 40 others bands and approx 70,000 of my closest friends. Itll be nice to be home, even if it is only for a day.
G'nite ya"ll
