We spent last night in the studio working on bass and guitar overdubs on the new song “Even With You”. As promised, we’re documenting as we go, so enjoy this little video clip.
The video for “I Don’t Want It” is currently on the front page of http://danspalatset.se which is backed by The Swedish Dancesport Federation (Svenska Danssportsförbundet). If you have not yet seen the video it can be viewed on http://thegenuinefakes.tv where you will be able to watch loads of cool Lindy Hop moves together with an interesting wardrobe!
We totally like The Swedish Dancesport Federation and would once more like to thank our Lindy Hop friends who made it possible to shoot such a cool video!
I think that The Wannadies is one of greatest bands in the world – I just don’t understand why they didn’t make it even bigger… Practically every song is a smash hit as far as I’m concerned!
I’ve linked some YouTube-clips that are definitely worth checking out. The first is the video for the song Friends which is one of their best songs…
The second clip is this simple but cool video for the song I Don’t Like You.
The third clip is from their awesome song Hit. We attempted to play it once with a cover band but it is seriously difficult to get the guitars and rhythm right. The Wannadies are just so tight…
Just look at their unbelievably cool discography; all of their albums are sooo good!

"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."
