As we (me and my little brother) were there already when they opened, we had to wait for over an hour before the first band started to play, which was MONARK X. They play some kind of Swedish retro punk rock that is really good on CD, but I don't really know what to think about this gig, maybe it was the bad sound, I don't know, but I felt like they were better on record than live. The best song (and 1 of the few I actually reconized) was "Hultsfred City". A o.k. gig anyway.
I wanted the next band to start playing at once after MONARK X had played, but hell no, they obviously wanted to bore people to death through waiting. And as it was an all-ages venue, there wasen't any beer to entertain yourself with - Damned boring!
Next band was CIVIL OLYDNAD. I thought they played typical Swedish trallpunk, but this was a little harder, more like early STREBERS and ASTA KASK. I really liked it! Best band this evening.
Well, then you had to wait again - Why?! - before the last band, SISTA SKRIKET, finally entered the stage. They kicked off with a punk song, and the singer jumped around like he was crazy. Nice with that kind of energy when there wasen't more than maybe 10-15 people in the audience. SISTA SKRIKET was actually better than I expected, and delivered both old and new material, which ended up in a good mixture of punk rock and new wave.
Sad that there wasen't more people, very weak! Especially when entrance was as cheap as 20 kronor (about 2 Euro). Where did all the Borås punks go?
