First Floor Power will be making their first live appearance in quite some time at the Pop Dakar Festival on September 1 in Stockholm. It is not actually a reunion (as was suggested earlier and elsewhere), as the band never officially broke up and is continuing on nowadays as a three-piece with Sara Wilson and drummer Per Lager sharing vocal duties. The band is even working on a new record under the working title "Hits and shits" and have already recorded 16 tracks. Guests include ex-member Jenny Wilson along with Andreas Söderström (Ass) and Adam Kammerland (Pluxus).
In semi-related news, look for a new solo album from First Floor Power member Karl-Jonas Winqvist aka Blood music this coming fall. Look for it around September/October.
