Chelsea asked about TSOOL.....
Recent tv-clip Endless Song [
tv4.se] with TSOOL
.....Made me fingerslinger away a (well, a little) minor essay,
got to get in touch with the back ground why TSOOL is such a great band
(there are some more reasons more than they are neighbors to Mickijaggeroo)
" Why Göteborg music scene wipes the floor with Stockholm's "
In the beginning there was the political music, mainly Nationalteatern and Nynningen.
Worth a mass in itself. While Stockholm featured hard-to-beat John Holm (but
after the first three album he appeared not to have so much juice left) and Rolf Wikström
Nationalteaterns solo project the (late) rootsy dude Totta
and his Tottas Blues Band – did not so few cooperations studio and live projects
with Mick Taylor and the always interesting Ulf Dageby.
Another band, Ensamma Hjärtan, covered
The Dirty Dogs (or in Swedish: De Smutsiga Hundarna)

The late 70s came with hot punk rock as Attentat and The Leather Nun.
Still a big lead for Stockholm with Dag Vag and Ebba Grön.
The punk movement were twice or hundreds as shockin
and smashed most of the dusty, dull, tired, trad rock off the ground.
80s: Now things were a-happening. Sator Codex with Freddie Wadling
as singer and dark minded brain hammered out strange tunes.
At the same time, along a more traditional yet very powerful line,
we heard Sky High, originally from Dalecarlia…
Soon they were followed by Sator (not to be confused with Sator Codex).
On the rhythmic side we could enjoy Stonefunkers & Papa Dee.
90s: The birth of Union Carbide, chaotic heavy rock and the ’more than embryonic form
of proto-TSOOL. At the same time Broder Daniel struck us all with smokin’ punkish rock,
still with many anchors back to the 60s.
A clean rock concept. From their suicidal gloomyness.
TSSOLs global saga as a Great Band was to be seen the years around 2000.
More about them later.
All along the way we have had Freddie Wadling, the Dark Underground
King, the Master of Insanity and Splatter Movies.
His voice is from another world.

Synthesis: Stovckholm went for a knock-out victory,
but Göteborg win on points.
