Alice in Videoland - Spaceship (video)

It took two years, but Alice in Videoland has finally released a very entertaining homemade video for their single "Spaceship".

Slangbella - Du och jag ska leva tills vi dör

Quality punky new-wave rock'n'roll from Slangbella, a new project created by drummer/producer Anders Alexander (Alice in Videoland, Melody Club). Def worth a listen!

Alice in Videoland
Outrageous
National

National have become known mostly for being a reissue label, be it Allan Edwall or Pugh Rogefeldt. And when they do sign a band that still exists, they usually are a bit dull to be frank. Alice In Videoland is no exception. I guess AiV going for some kind of Fischerspooner-ish electroclash, but the production sounds cheap and out of date. Come on man, it's fucking 2005, not 1985. However, lead singer Toril Lindqvist was voted 73'd sexiest woman by sleazy magazine Slitz and that's got to count for something, huh?
