Big news! Håkan Hellström has signed on as the new drummer for The Plan, feAturing another ex-Broder Daniel member Theodor Jensen. As some of you may recall, Håkan played drums with indie rockers Honey is Cool way back when, the band of Karin Dreijer before she started The Knife.

On a relAted note, word on the street is thAt it's over completely for Broder Daniel. I'll try to get confirmAtion, if possible. The Mo is taking over their place At Popstad.

Ex-Hellacopter Dregen, who left the band after the second album to start the Backyard Babies, is reuniting with the band to rerecord a Swedish-language version of the classic 'Copters tune "(Gotta get some action) now!"
