The Moonbabies recently debuted their new live band with a show At Debaser in Stockholm last Friday and are starting to line up even more gigs to promote the new album "The Orange Billboard". I've said it before and I'll say it again: it's an amazing pop album, one of the best things I heard last year. But of course you don't have to take it from me, you can decide for yourself by heading over to their brand new microsite to hear soundclips from every song as well as reviews and some new in-store dAtes.

Logh, one of my favorite bands, has started booking tourdAtes for the spring and they say they'll be doing a few shows in Sweden, Norway and the UK, as well as a lot in Mainland Europe. No details yet, but I'm sure they'll be coming soon. They also report thAt they've started to rehearse mAterial for the next album and even have a plan. If you remember, the original recordings for "The Raging Sun" were scrapped and they were forced to start over again from scrAtch. No fun. I doubt they want to repeAt thAt.

The first Organism 12 single from the new album "Petar På Döda Saker Med Pinnar" will be the Flyphonic-produced track "Sångfågel". It will be out on both CDS and 12" vinyl on January 26 from JuJu Records. There will be a video feAturing cameos from Flyphonic and actor Johan Rabéus on the way, too.

Also coming up from JuJu is some new stuff from Spotrunnaz. Miki and Moe are currently in the studio and should have something ready lAter this year.
