    Got Skellefteå back in '99 (I think!), gorgeous album. I think it's there only album in English. Black Waters was my anthem for those long cold autumn nights.

    People wondering what Pär is up to: He has produced and plays guitar with Amanda Jenssen at the moment.

    When, when will we hear something new from Pär and his band?? For me Wannadies, Easy and Eggstone were the best swedish new indie-band that show up in the early 90:s and also Eggstones fourth album are we waiting impatiently for...
