Jex Thoth - Nothing Left To Die

From one moment to the next, and I stepped out of the car in the north, 110 miles of driving in 11 hours, by no means as bad time wise but a hard work to complete, but it was worth it.

Yesterday played Dan Reed at Gröna Lund and the plan was to make a visit there and take some photos During his show, but with the tight schedule so it was to pack the bags, fill up the car and just like that were we of E4'n north.

Had also highlighted in the calendar to make a visit to the Lilla Hotellbaren to see Jex Thoth playing live tonight, but that did not happen this time.

But there was a sauna instead, a cold beer and a planned football tonight if one had managed to get the antenna to function so i could get up the channel, but It was impossible so I gave up. It was probably just as well considering how it ended.

So todays tune is ”Nothing Left To Die” with Jex Thoth as they will turn the place upside down tonight.

Dan Reed - Brave New World

Dan Reed visited Stockholm yesterday, and did a marvelous gig according to my friends Lizette And was the support band, now thats a great industrial rock band, love it!

If you missed who he is, i found this on his homesite

Dan Reed Dan Reed was born in Portland, Oregon, but in early childhood moved to South Dakota after his mother remarried the owner of a cattle ranch. Growing up on 2000 acre's of land as an only child gave Dan plenty of time to daydream and it was here, riding tractor in the summer sun that Dan first fantasized about becoming a musician while listening to the Doobie Brothers, Kiss, Cheap Trick and Van Halen blaring on the tractor cabs' AM radio.


Although there were many incarnations of bands Dan performed with in South Dakota and in Portland it was in December of 1985 where he truly first began his musical journey as the lead singer of a band called “The Dan Reed Network”. Garnering huge local support the band signed to PolyGram Records in the summer of 1987. Home of Bon Jovi, Def Leppard and Tears For Fears. The Dan Reed Network released three very successful albums to much critical and commercial success between 1988 and 1992.



The band had the honor of 'seeing the world', opening for such bands as RUN DMC, UB40, David Bowie and Bon Jovi, eventually becoming the supporting act for the Rolling Stones’ 1991 European tour. It was at this time Dan journeyed to India with Bob Guccione Jr. to interview the Dalai Lama for Spin Magazine. It was during this trip that Dan began to hunger for more than the pop/rock music scene had to offer.


This was the catalyst for the long journey that Dan has taken, bringing him back in 2008 where he belongs, writing and performing new music with experiences wth the “rock star image” behind him. In the 1990’s he started an independent record company in his hometown of Portland, Oregon to help promote local Northwest bands, while at the same time studying acting.
