Release date November 3 - concert in Gothenburg
Our two new albums of Swedish contemporary music, PODUNK with Stefan Bellnäs and GOTHENBURG with Beches Brew will be celebrated with live performances at Studio HPKSM. Beches Brew and Stefan Bellnäs will play one set each at 4 pm that Saturday afternoon.
Beches Brew has played at Studio HPKSM since January; here is one studio recording, Gothenburg and one live recording from the club, Gothenburg Live with Gothenburg greats Thomas Gustafsson, Sir Thomas Jäderlund, Göran Klinghagen and Stefan Bellnäs with Staffan Svensson and Viktor Reuter joining us on some tracks. (If you buy the Gothenburg cd you are entitled to a free download of Gothenburg Live)
Our bass player Stefan Bellnäs is one of the busiest musicians around, everybody wants to play with him as he plays any kind of music as if his life depends on it. Stefan has a mind of his own, his album PODUNK is his first as a leader so you can expect something out of the ordinary. He will play some of his music in the club with a great assembly of musicians at the release: Anders Kjellberg, Lisen Rylander, Tommy Kotter, and Staffan Svensson.
