more born to be alive

 "pbp-band"

There is almost a magic feeling when you start a project like forming a band. In my case not a new band, thou Im trying to give new life into an old project. A project that always starts with an almost insane dream. A dream of once again entering a stage and entertaining the crowd.

A way to bring life into your bag full of songs that has been written-composed.

A one man band may be a hit in the street corner, but thats not apart of my dream. So I started my search for wannabee members in this project band for oldtimers.

And as you all could read in my last blog I found "mrs amimna" a talented woman with a grat voice. During the time of me last blog contact was establish´d with a man who actually could play the drums. 

So I was invited to a rehersal in Haninge south of Stockholm and there I met with this wonder man. 

The rehersal proofed that he is the right man for my project band. So instead of beeing just a guitarplayer with a load full of music and a female singer the "pbp-band" project was suddenly a building project that showed some kinde of future. "Builder Bob" showed in every way that he 

wanted to be a part of the band.

A three man band was on its way, when I discovered that the bands former lead vocalist "Mrs Paddington" showed some kind of interesst. Checking the YouTube-Facebook I found out that she had made a link to our earlier songs. 

Could it be that she was interessting in once again be a part of the band? As far as i knew she was fully occupied living on a small Swedish island. Still its almost 20 years that have passed since the band made its last performance.

A young talented bassplayer is known by me, and its about time for me to ask him if he might be interessted in this project. With a bit of luck the band will be at least a 5 man band.

So if things seams to work out my way with this mad bandproject. A female singer who also know how to play keyboard would be great. Then the chanses of bringing life in "pbp-band" could be a reality.

This morning gave me the opportunity to listen to web-radio. Followed a link on Facebook and there, suddenly i was listening to CKUA radio network i Canada. Clearly to me a very different radiostation and maybe one responsible for Sarah Macdougalls sucess all over the world. Latest news tells that She now is on Top-5 list in Roots-Country in Canada with her album "the greatest one alive".  Sometimes You loose-sometimes you win. 

Shes the best import from Sweden since ABBA says many musiccritics who heard her album. A dear freind of mine fell desperatly in love with her music and ordered both her albums. He keep them in his Audi TT and plays them round the clock where ever he is...

Tomorrow "dare-studios" once again move´s to Orust meaning that the car will be filled with instruments. My old Galson-Fender Jazzbass is still going to be sold, and as far as i can see it I will get pay´d for it in a way that makes it possible to buy the Burns Shadow bass. I would have prefered a Bison bass, but they are at the moment sold out.

This great Burns Shadows Bass will fit perfectly in me collection of Burns Guitars.

           

Not to often, still it happens that a few words in my mind beguins to form the lyrics to a song in just a matter of a few minutes. the lyrics below is one of those things that just happens. The song complete with its music was written - bad or good in a matter of less then half and hour.

The main part of all songs I ever have written is a story taken from the BDSM-Fetish scene as I know it. This song is also telling its small story about a couple who meet for the first time in what is supposed to be a long time bdsm-relation between the two of em.

HE - SHE

She - was standing in the corner of an empty street

She - waiting for a man, she was supposed to meet.

He - Was he the one

He - Was he the one

Will he make her shiver

can his touch make her cry out loud

will he make her go insane

take her to the skye above the clouds.

´Will he give her the love she need,

give her pain and pleasure.

Give her all, her hungre feed.

In chains he hold her life, a treasure.

Can he make her dream come true

will he be her man and master.

The one he stands right by her side

she hopes, now and for ever after.

As usual the next thing to do is to record it and then listen to the song over and over again in hope to find things inte the music or in the words that doesnt fit in. As soon as the recording is ready it will be found on my YouTube account.

"dare studio´s"

in other words my musicroom

Any complains in regards of my own singing capability is rightful, unfortinutly Im not the best singer. But at least I try and maybe with the help of some electronic gadgets I can make my own song sound if not good so at least poissble for someone to listen to.

playing the almost new ES-175

In my last blog-attemt I wrote about the interesst show at Youtube for my songs. Looking into the statistics once again today to my delight I found that ap 35% of those listening to my songs is female! Also that theres been almost 15000 weivers on all of me songs... things that with ease could make me happy.

To all of you, thanks.

New songs will be added and new recordings of earlier songs will also appere instead of the old ones.

Dare studio history

"cafe dare & dare studio´s"

According to the fact that I do like to write about different things in MY world this blog-site was created. Here You`ll find music / lyrics and stories linked to what I call "dare studio´s".

In the mid 60-ies I started to write Me own songs. With the Beatles as main influence I wrote a couple of songs with My band at that time in mind. This the first band was baptised "the Leemons" and performed at a couple of teenageparties during this years.

The first song written was a sweet little song in Swedish called - Åh Carina. In mind was one of the girls that I did secretly love so much. (she never knew). The urge in me to go on writing was still very much present. A couple of different bands was formed, band that lived for a breif moment and then dissapered.

"fms-band / PBP "

It started as a homestudio project with app 250 different songs that Ive written. Main part of those songs was written with the Fetish/BDSM party scene that spread around the world in mind. But without the by then new tecno/rave sound. Many of the songs might be called x-rated but they was all telling a story in regards of different sexual behaviors.

Soon the homestudio grow to small and I beguin to My search for other musicians that wanted to be a part of the new band, called "fms-band". The band was based with 4 musicians, drums, bass, lead n rhythmguitar, keyboard plus 3 girls as front singers.

Those first years the band did change members at least a couple of times every month until its final setting was found. Adverts was placed in order to find vocalsingers. Almost 100 girls came to auditions that was held, among them three was choosen.

As all the members in the group also was playing in other groups, the project was set up to be a "fun break" with a couple of performances every year. All of us did have the normal familylife, with kids etc, so there was no intention to become anything near professionals.

When the band was contracted for a performance and a week before I rented rehearsing premesis for the weekend. Mainly rented from a local Scoutgroup.

The band played in Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Austria, UK and we really did have a great time. Until there was a halt and nothing happened for a long time exept that new songs was written.

During this time I was contracted to a female German artist who wanted to record a couple of my songs. She had the intetions of becoming a new Madonna, and was already a well knowns fetish model. The songs was recorded but somehow as often happens in the mad music buisness this artist wasnt interessted in sharing royality fees!

"club dare" and "dare cafe" was formed as a no profit organisation with a music-cafe as the daily base and income fore the club. Here You could order a cup of coffey, listen-play music. Buy second hand instruments aso.

The fms-band changed its name to PBP. Where PBP was the short version of "park bench petting" a name idea from one of the vocal girls - Kristina. In its premesis the "dare studio" was formed. The studio as such was based at the start around a mixer-table linked to two TEAC 4-track recorders in one of the rooms in the cafe.

More and more gadgets was found that made it look more and more like a nice studio. Not near a prostudio but still with the possibility to record bands, singers. During a period of two years, the cafe and studio was in existance.

"a stack of music gadgets at dare studio´s"

The bands last performance was made at a club in Malmoe. The whole things was also recorded for a TV program that was sent shortly after the performance night. The band members will be presented on this blog-site possibly next time.

Both the "dare studio´s" and "PBP" is today alive only as project name´s on different recording sessions, music/lyrics made and mainly performed by Me.
