Herregud...

...what is going on here? It is so unbelievable! We are getting sooooo many wonderful feed- back's regarding Tvärvägen and Hajen! It is really so awesome! The whole simple idea with KNOPPAR started only 1 1/2 months ago like "a really simple idea"...and now it's growing and growing! It's so "underbar"! We are really speechless!

First of all:

A special big TACK goes to the two really awesome blog magazines/websites SWEDEPLEASE and NICOROLA!!! They are supporting the KNOPPAR artists (and also KNOPPAR) from the very first beginning ... like HELL!!! Thank you so much for that!

HAJEN:

A lot of things happen around our "sparrow from Björka" at the moment! As we wrote a couple of day ago the awesome Hanna (she is the great artists who make all the great photos and paintings for the KNOPPAR family www.lupomanaro.com) went out with Hajen to make some pics. The result you could've seen already HERE ... but we think that you can not look at it to much! ;O)

Next Saturday HAJEN will enter the stage of the very well-known Hulsfred Rookie Festival (www.rockparty.se). In the last years great bands like David & The Citizens, Ane Brun, Division of LauraLee, Moneybrother, Shout Out Louds, The Concretes, Those Dancing Days played on the rookie festival! And now also HAJEN! World ... be prepared! ;O)

Hajen will also play some more shows. Here are all dates:

25.Okt.2008 Rookiefestivalen ’08 Hultsfred
20.Nov.2008 Kontiki m. Johannes Vidén Göteborg
23.Nov.2008 Ladyfest GBG - Mitt Andra Hem Göteborg
27.Nov.2008 Kvinna på Kontiki Göteborg
20.Dez.2008 Woody West X-mas, m. Mattias Hellberg Göteborg

Hm...as you could see: a lot of gigs in Gothenburg. But Gothenburg during the winter is really beautiful and always nice for a short weekend trip. Maybe you should check out this very well-known irish airline!? Damn....we forgot the name! ;O) We are thinking to fix a small KNOPPAR Tour down to Germany (HAJEN +TVÄRVÄGEN) in the beginning of 2009! We will keep you updated! ...and if you know a nice venue or someone who could be interested in helping us with shows / concerts down there please contact us at
knoppar@gmail.com!

TVÄRVÄGEN

We are really speechless that the awesome and rightly well-known blog SWEDESPLEASE mentioned TVÄRVÄGEN 3 TIMES during the last month (and with including the brand new article about HAJEN he mentioned the KNOPPAR family 4 times this month! AWESOME! We swear that there haven't been any money transfers or something like this between the SWEDESPLEASE- and the KNOPPAR-land during that times!!!).

TACK!

Tvärvägen also made his first interview, which you can find here: http://www.nicorola.de/features/interviews/interview-tvarvagen
A English version you can find here:

We also set the release date for Tvärvägens "Sånger
från Tvärvägen". The 19th of November is the date you should keep in mind for that!
Soon we will update you with some more detailed informations about that. We uploaded a new song from "Sånger från Tvärvägen" on the KNOPPAR my space account: http://www.myspace.com/knoppar
We've heard that there are some problems with the zshare link for "September". You can also download"September" HERE (click right...save target)!

Oh...by the way:

You should mark already the 21th of November in your Calender! On that day there will be the KNOPPAR-FEST (join the Facebook event HERE and the KNOPPAR GROUP HERE) in Gothenburg! It will be also the release-party for the Tvärvägen album! It will be a beautiful party with Hajen and (of course) Tvärvägen liveon stage. For that Tvärvägen will come the whole long way from Stockholm to Gothenburg !
But beside that there will be also the first gig of a KNOPPAR artist we (unfortunately) neglect totally in the last weeks. It will be the first stage performance ever from ERIC FASTÉN!

ERIC FASTÉN
Eric is a very talented singer/songwriter from Gothenburg! Beside that he is talented he is also very ... let's say "relaxed"! ;O) So sometimes everything takes a little bit longer with him! But when he produce something it is very awesome! And we love him! But KNOPPAR is very releaxed, too! So it's the perfect place for him.
We uploaded two songs from Eric at our player at the KNOPPAR my space account: http://www.myspace.com/knoppar.
The songs are in a DEMO quality, but they will give you a first impression from Erics music. Soon he will went into the studio to record his first EP.

Wow...that was really a lot of writing and we are sure that we forgot a lot! But hopefully it gives you a small impression what's going on in the KNOPPAR-land at the moment.;O)

More soon!
