21 May 2010 First week on tour, amazing! Support to Green Day! More shows!

Hey beloved friends!

We're in lovely Vienna taking a slow morning. Ossi is snoring right next to me in his bed and it looks like he's smiling in his sleep.
He has all the reasons to do so... The tour so far has been fantastic, sold out shows every night, great energy and love in the air!

To all fans who's been giving us so much energy and love the last week - Thank you!

Oh, and a big thanks to everybody who congratulated me (John) on my 28th birthday the other day.
It's a nice feeling, knowing that I'm thought of. Makes my heart warm.

GREEN DAY – the American rock trio has chosen us to support them at their show at Ullevi in Gothenburg on 5th June! Will be great!

And below are all our summer festival dates + new fall tour dates. You can get your tickets already to a few of them.

We'll shortly be announcing even more tourdates in Scandinavia and Europe for sept / oct/ nov / dec.

So stay tuned friends!

Much Love
Johnossi

28 April 2010 Mavericks is here!

Hey everybody!

We just came back to Stockholm, we've been in Gothenburg all day, doing interviews and playing an acoustic set and signing records at Bengans recordstore.
The place was pretty much packed, a big thank you to everyone who showed up, it was great meeting you, hope you enjoyed it! Tommorrow we'll visit Bengans in Stockholm, and then we're off to Malmö on friday, Linköping on monday, and Örebro on tuesday.

So Mavericks is finally released this week, and now we're moving on to a new era. An era of sweat, heat, blood and energy, an era of intense liveshows. We are superexcited to hit the road again.

Have you seen the artwork for Mavericks? Isn't it wonderful! The man behind the drawings is the supertalented Kim W Andersson. We are so blessed that he wanted to work with us. Thank you for all you've done Kim!
