>>> My,God! These guys are like Dangerfield....no respect!.....so much more talented than many of these bands selling out local venues as we speak and 46 people in attendance....pathetic....but great for us that enjoyed this special evening last night!...The guys were on fire even though the crowd was sparse.....it was like a party at someones house and your friend's band sets up and plays....Singer Ebbot Lundberg is maybe my favorite frontman working today!He was wearing his traditional black tunic with scarf....Great stage presence,voice and a super personality...I satyed at the club for a good 45 minutes after the show and talked with Ebbot about a few of the bootlegs I've come across and the quality of said bootlegs....he may try to take some back ala Butthole Surfers and release them on their own...and he is working on cutting down some 300 hours of footage for a DVD release by years end!...I am gonna try to maybe catch them again in Charlotte over the July 4th weekend,this was my 4th time seeing them....I believe thru my bourbon haze that Ebbot said his brother lives in Charlotte....I can't say enough about great these guys are.....if you like hooks,power chords,harmonies and a band that always gives you your money's worth....they are for you.....

hey Jonas, were wearing like a blueish shirt and had glasses? i might have seen you, me and my friend were right next to Ebbot for a while, talking about ACL and why there were 6 fingers on the hand on their shirt.  (he didnt give me a straight answer!)

I concur.  If it was 1968, these guys would be worshipped.  As it is now, theyre too poppy for the indie crowd, not enough marketing for the radio and the older folks who grew up on this type of music cant be bothered with discovering 'underground' bands.
 
 Dont think they have their niche and it seems they are pretty content with their position in the industry.

did anyone actually go to their show in charlottesville?  such a shame that there were only 120 people there, tops.  tsool put on a kick-ass show even with a small stage and shitty sound system.  it was my first time seeing them and i bought a couple of tsool virgins.  spread the word.  they deserve a lot more support.

[twangirl]

I'm gonna see 'em in Chapel Hill on Sunday, can't wait!

[Arlette]

Yea, the Charlottesville show was great.  Unfortunately, the sound system doesn't suck, bands sometimes play too loud.  If their amps are turned up high then the PA is getting too much sound and it sounds....mushy.  They need to turn down and these guys weren't used to that.
 
 Anyway, they were fantastic. Everyone I was with was highly entertained even though most of them had never heard their music. They really totally rocked.

[SPARX]

I think their sound appeals to a wide base of music listeners.If their brutal touring schedule doesn't take it's toll on them,I look for them to have some serious staying power compared to alot of their peers.And they're genuinely nice guys,which always helps.They're doing it the old fashion way,playing shows,letting the word get out and building fans little by little.Shame it isn't clicking immediately but hopefully it'll pay off in the end,and probably better that way for a number of reasons. They enjoy what they're doing as well,which is really what matters most.Nothing better than getting paid to do a job you love.

[Bartelby]

They already have staying power.  Some of those guys played together fifteen years ago with another band...TSOOL's been together since 1995.  They tour constantly.  I've heard they're paid $50,000. for each tour by the Swedish government for promoting Swedish "products" thus their "I could care less" attitude toward NO audience...ah, socialism is kind to the poor, old, young, sick and rockers.  :roll:

[SPARX]

They should do a major tour double bill with Bevis Frond,that would be amazing!

 Tsk, those Swedes.

  another thing i noticed was super lame about Rams Head....i bought tickets for $15 and they are like "$16.50" cause of tax?  and then i bought a t-shirt and the $15 tshirt was "16.50"
 
   who adds fucking tax on top of everything?? how lame.  I understand there's tax, but come on people add it in, I have never paid "tax" on a concert tee at the show!  and $1.50 on $15 is 10% not 5% anyway!

Both Rams Heads charge an entertainment tax.

>>>The previous band was called "Union Carbide Productions"...not as good as TSOOL in my humble opinion..........
