Welcome to Banco del Musica 4/3 2010, Stortorget, Malmö. After 3 years of silence and 3 children richer- Sandy Mouche is back! Since christmas we have been rehearsing and we have a handful of new songs that we would like to try together with an audience! Be Sandy Mouche´s friend on facebook!
Home again after the European tour with Per Gessle. Feels good to be home and my little baby-boy might think so too- sleeping in his own bed, his parents soon not so tired anymore. But I do think he misses his new friends: a bunch of fully grown men with stubble and beards, smelling of red wine, talking baby language, and smiling faces all around (the band and the crew). Especially Åsa licking his feet in Per´s dressing-room saying "Piiii katten!" I just want to say THANK YOU to you all who I´ve met while singing on this tour. Without you, there wouldn´t be much. I wonder if you can understand how much your support helps. I already miss you, and I hope to see you musiclovers soon in any way!
Next week me, Martinique and little baby will move to Stockholm to start the rehearsals for Party Crasher tour! Luckily, Martinique will be playing as support act on the gigs around Europe! He has even made t-shirts for this event.
I will also squeeze in a video recording for my coming album. Jiiiiipiiii! And a recording session with Martinique and Per from Sandy Mouche! It is the recording of a song that was not selected for the album, that I just can´t let go. They will produce it in Per´s home studio that he has built in the garage. Let´s see where it will show up!
I hope soon that I know something more about the release. Only my destiny knows now!
What´s going on? I am preparing for the Party Crasher tour Collecting inspiration for new Sandy Mouche songs Preparing recording of Martinique´s and my duo of covers Resting to get rid of my four-week flu And above all, enjoying the company of three months old baby-boy! I wish you a good time!
Now christmas has passed and as always I am already longing for spring! But it feels like spring when I read all the love on my guest book- wow. I want to thank you all for the congratulations we have received for the baby and also for the positive Party Crasher comments! It makes me happy! 2009 - it will be an exciting year! Making music, singing, but now with a child in my arms feels fantastic. No news about my new album, yet, but it is complete, just waiting for someone to release it. While I wait, Martinique and I are composing some new songs together, for Sandy Mouche. We were playing yesterday in our drummer´s new built studio in his garage. And I wish to continue doing that soon, it felt great! Cyberhugs from me to you! Helena
Helena performs with Per Gessle 081206! The dress she will wear comes from Robert&Blad, www.robertoblad.com The same designer who made the clothes for Helena´s video to single "By your Side" See the performance here.
2008 11 08, our first child was born! He is starting to get used to us and we just feel amazingly happy! I want to send a big THANK YOU! for all the love he has received here on the guest book!
While I am waiting for the new album to be released, we wil do a trio-concert with the songs from the "Dynamo" album! I have wanted to sing in this small theatre for a long long time, it is very cosy! They have a grand piano, and they serve brunch included in the entrance fee! At two o´clock there will be a movie too! www.victoria.se
First I want to send you a big hug! Thank you for remembering my birthday! It feels great to be an adult. Now I know even more that it is up to me how childish I want to be! That night, when I turned 30, I woke up from the regular intimate noises from the couple in the flat above... She has such a loud voice, she should do something creative about it not always sing the same tune like she does at 5.30 in the weekend mornings, when her postman boyfriend´s natural clock wakes him up and then he always wakes her up and then... The concert begins! But he never makes any sound though! Only the whole wall is shaking :o) Well this night I felt, I had had enough, now I am a grown up for real, and I don´t have to listen to this all the time, and I went up to their door and talked with a soft but firm voice, through the mailbox: " Can you please please keep it down! Please!" My neighbours could never be real indians, living a whole family in a tipi, caring about each other not only about themselves. It felt really good that I stood up for myself! Like a proud indian :o) I´m not so used to that. I have to practice in small situations, like this, to listen to what I really need to feel comfortable, and then act by it.
I hope you also get great birthdays, I wish I knew when they are but I congratulate you in advance now :o)
Just some thoughts from me here in the studio, I am waiting for Christoffer who is at a cat-funeral. One of the five kittens, born a week ago, didn´t survive and now he is out with his family mourning. Then we will keep working with the new songs, and tomorrow it is time to sing...!
