Mando Diao reports that their shows in Japan have been going great and they even had to stop after three songs because of too much pushing up front. However, not all is rosy for the band as someone in their homepage guestbook threatened to station a small squad of baseball bat-armed troops outside their hotel at the Emmaboda festival. Is it retribution or just trying to control who plays the show? Anyhow, the band say they won't cancel, but we'll see what happens.
