Weekend

time to get this blog going!
last weekend I nailed the remaining bass tracks for TGF songs “Star”, “Blind Commitment”, “Whatever Comes Your Way” and “You Always Come Back Home”. the session was acutally set in the rehersal studio for practical reasons. It all went really well!

I’ll be staying in this weekend. resting, reading and most apparently blogging. as Joey went south (Småland) on friday we’ll pick up the studio work again on tuesday.

(current playmate)

i’d like to end this post with a very special feature of mine:

“Cypress Hill Lyric of the week”.

(LIL’ PUTOS)

So I gotta maintain my direction
What I mighta gained without my protection
Not a damn thing, so when I come just bring that new style, break ya off like a chicken wing

Buckooock!!

So you can just suck my c**k
Like a fat blunt, stoned is the way of the walk
When I’m peepin, checkin out the punk-ass creepin
I let the dogs loose then I let the dogs sick em
Graaah! nigga dont make me catch ya, punk
cause I still will be comin’ at ya

Hammond- and wurlitzer-tracks completed!!

11 Feb

Today I lay the final hammond/wurlitzer tracks for our planned full-length album. We completed the songs “Whatever Comes Your Way” and “The Promise” so now we basically only need to record the vocals for one more song called “If You Then I” and then we are finished and that feels gooood!

The Hammond organ is a must if you are Tommy Fake

We have been recording for 2+ years now and it seems that we finally can see the light at the end of the tunnel. After these recording sessions we will have roughly 17 complete songs and 5-6 semi-finished songs that we can put on the next album, how cool is that?!?

The next step will obviously be the mixing of these powerpop hits but that will be executed by someone else (which will be announced later).

Finally – no more guitar or bass?!?

9 Feb

After some extra hard work in the temporary studio I think that we finally nailed the last guitars and bass for the album last night. Mårty and Joey were on fire and the result was (as usual) awesome!!

I took this pic of Mårtys beautiful bass amp, it is soooo vintage…

Dressed for success

5 Feb

The fakes costume not only looks great – it feels great! The key to success is to have the correct shoes, pants, shirt, tie but to really nail the outfit more than clothes is required.

Shoes (a.k.a Fakers).
The shoes that are also known as “Fakers” are the standard Converse All Stars as shown in the picture below.

Pants
The pants can be tough to find – a pair of colored jeans in your favorite fake-color (tough to find is a total understatement, which store has yellow pants?!?). Joey wears red, Mårty wears white, Johnny wears blue and I wear yellow.

Tie
The tie should be thin and striped in two colors – black and the color of your pants.

Shirt
The shirt is a standard short-sleeved fine shirt, pitch black!

Stache
Then, to nail the outfit a mustache is required or as our friend Johnny Fake once said:

Never be caught in public with a bare upper lip.
- Johnny Fake – 2007

That will be a cool name for an album…

That’s it for this time folks…

Faking it with The Spinal Tap

4 Feb

A friend of mine pointed out that The Genuine Fakes are not the only ones faking it…

The giant fake known as the Spinal Tap is apparently recording again according to Aftonbladet. One of the new songs is named “Gimme some more money”!

Very very cooool!!

Sound card failure

3 Feb

Today The Genuine Fakes were supposed to record some guitar/organ in the studio but the f**kin sound card did not work properly so instead I used the time to browse my photo gallery. I found this excellent pic of my daughter Molly Fake.

She really did NOT enjoy the mustache but who can blame her?

Rawk with Jack Daniels

3 Feb

Last Thursday The Genuine Fakes performed on the Viking Cindarella cruiseferry together with 4 other bands in the Jack Rocks final.

Jack Rocks is a competition for rock bands. As usual we truly rawked but powerpop and rock are two quite different genres so we did not really stand a chance in the competition against the other rock bands. The worthy winners were instead the Mando Diao-inspired rock band The Fast Forwards >> and their act was genuinely cool.

The event was really nice and we met loads of nice people so hopefully we gained a few fans anyway.

Thanks to Jack Daniels for the support and excellent arrangements.

The Striped Album

Liner Notes

"The Genuine Fakes are proof of Sweden's seemingly inexhaustible font of pop genius. Hitting all the right marks, they walk you thru the major required classes in the school of pop -- chime, harmony, sparkle, and melody 101... surely these guys are on their way to being tenured professors in pop's university."
