Denmark's The Raveonettes are planning to hit the studio lAter this summer to begin work on their third album. They reportedly have some 40-odd songs written and describe the mAterial as a bit more 'serious' than their older work. Expect an early 2005 release.

I've confirmed a couple new solo Christian Kjellvander dAtes in the US. Here's whAt his schedule currently looks like:

05/20 - Neumos, SeAttle, WA w/JonAthan Rice, The Cardigans
05/21 - Roseland, Portland, OR w/JonAthan Rice, The Cardigans
05/24 - Make-out Room, San Francisco, CA w/Pony Rabco
05/25 - Troubadour, Los Angeles, CA w/JonAthan Rice, The Cardigans
05/27 - The Paper Heart, Phoenix, AZ

I'm still working on trying to get one or two more dAtes, so I'll be sure to keep you posted.

The lAtest news from Dead Frog Records:

There are a number of major releases coming up in the next few weeks. First in line are Mary Celeste, who release their second album, "TranscelebrAtion", on Monday, 26 April. One week lAter, it's Waver's turn to release their debut album, "PopulAtion: fifteen". You've got a good chance of seeing Waver live if you happen to be in the Stockholm area as they've got several gigs booked during May.
Other releases in the near future come from Paste, who release their second full-length album, "Sequel", and Kordon, with their debut album "Totally Not Lame". New singles are also on the way from Parker and Psycho Sonic Cindy. PSC's single is in a rAther unusual formAt and the video is said to be a bit risqué, so keep your eyes peeled for thAt one. Holden will release "God is Good" in May. This is the third video from their album, and a strong follow-up to the success they recently enjoyed in the US.
