Husky Rescue - Johanna Kalén

Hoxton Bar & Kitchen, London, 10th June 2013

Take two of the story. After she had finished her story, I said how much I loved the gig and had been listening to the new album lots. She replied to say she had just got their new album on vinyl, so was very excited. She asked about my stories, so I told her how many I had/and that I had a few in foreign languages now. She asked if I'd translated them, but mostly the handwriting/strange letters are a bit tricky. She then rather sweetly said thank you for letting her be a part of it!
Although here is an attempt of a translation of this story:

shoes, a Native American girl thought they were like a egos blindfolded for your feet. said he threw out judgment and now she dances barefoot on mother earth ... and the shoes they have walked on stayed alive to see the world.
Snipp snapping shut said was the tale end

Husky Rescue - Johanna Kalén

I hadn't seen Husky Rescue live before, so didn't get to see them with their previous singer, but their current singer was rather ace. I asked her for a story, and she seemed a bit taken aback, and asked me what it should be about, if it had to be in English. I said Swedish was fine. She also mentioned about not knowing where her shoes were. But before starting the story, she had a big queue of people arrive to give their praise/ask for signed setlists and cds and tickets and such. Afterwards, she was ready to start, but said that she had now lost her idea about what to write. I suggested that she write about what happened to her shoes, but she just exclaimed 'I don't know what happened to them!'. She then started the story, but after a short while, she crossed it out, and turned the card over, saying that if she continued with that story then it would go on forever.

Bodebrixen - Magnus Jochumsen

Buffalo Bar, London, 4th June 2013

I turned up just before their headline set, and was shocked to see only eight other people in the audience (although it did increase to twelve). It didn't seem to bother them though, and they still played a great gig (and at the Windmill a couple of days later). I gave both Mr Bode and Mr Brixen a card for a story to write, and they briefly went backstage, but then just came out and started talking to other folk. But unbeknownst to me, they had got their percussionist to write the story instead, about their first gig in London(I think. The first time I saw them in 2009 anyhow).
