Take the opportunity to talk to one of the band members.

Maybe you’re wondering what we are doing at the moment, or how the guitars are tuned, or how we wrote that special bridge, or maybe you’re just bored at a party and wanna chat?

The phone will be open during our upcoming tour, for dates check
www.sparzanza.com and click on gigs.

So what are you waiting for, give us a call.
If we don´t answer we are probably on stage…

Oh yes, it’s time to present our designated driver and merch dude for the upcoming tour…but just to keep it exciting, this is what you get!! Come to our gigs to meet our tame racing driver… you know, some say his scrotum has it’s own gravity field… and that the outer ring of his nipple is shaped like the Nürburgring! All we know is… that he’s known as The Kim!

Stay classy

…for the album to be released we take the time to pay our respects to some nice dudes that has helped us out in any way! Today it’s time for…the accountant!!!

A man who makes sure that we don’t do illegal and stupid stuff with our fortunes and piles of money! Once a year he has a few hours of really hard work. The rest of the year he just makes our band meetings a bit more fun and complains to us that we steal all his time in the spotlight!

So here he is…the feared…the mighty…Killer-Chris Mudyard!

Yesterday, he beat his personal best in the VASALOPP! This is 90 km skiing, in a snowstorm, and he made it under 8 hours! Great work! Now shave that beard!

If ya see this man give him a kiss (or at least a hug). It´s the mighty Henrik “shooter” Hedlund I’m talking about. He´s the he one that´s done the latest cover, both photo and design (In Voodoo Veritas), taking all the press photos, designed and done our fabulous website…the list goes on… Besides that - he´s a hell of a nice guy!

(Ok, you might think I´m writing this because we need more help and are short of cash - and yes - thats also true ;-).

Serious - Hedlund - a big thanks!

p.s . The rehearse went awesome today, I wouldn´t wanna miss us this friday (gothenbourg) and saturday (Stockholm) for all the butter in småland (if youre not from sweden, ask a swede to translate it).

Damn, still cold here, and you know what, my favorite shoes died today, a really, really old pair of DR Martens. They bursted because of the cold. So sponsors (or fans), please hit me up with some new ones, all my money are spent on guitars and strings at the moment, and the stock market sucks…

Yesterday we signed all the pre-orders done at the record store bengans. My hand hurts so much today (yeah right) , so this will just be a shorty. Anyway, we also discussed a lot of updates on our homepage, well see where it ends…

Oh yeah - look out for our new posters in stockholm - The (mighty) Black Cult sthlm got a lot of posters and they will start covering the city soon…

Just like Calle, I have been feeling like SHIT the last few days! My throat hurts, nose is running like a waterfall and my head is heavy like an elephant!
Right now I really like Discovery Channel, that is great entertainment for sick guys!
I think i will follow Calles advice and have some booze to drink, i really hope that Gin and Jägermeister works, cause that is all I have home now.
I really am glad that there is no gigs booked this weekend, cause I probably wouldnt have made it!

Anyway, I will stop complaining now and want to thank everyone who came to our releaseparty. I had a blast! Really cool!
Also I am glad that we have choosen Monster Magnus as our new guitarplayer. For you who didnt know, me and Magnus have been playing together earlier. We had a band called Moaning Wind, who recorded one album around 1995 that got released on a fxxxing punk-rock label…so that was a disaster! The band even split up before the release, cause the label could not pay for the studio!

A pretty funny thing is that Magnus started a bit of a trend at Studio Fredman, in Gothenburgh during the recording of that album. In a bad atempt to make a joke, the studio owner mr. Fredman himself, actually cut a piece of Magnus hair. After Magnus calmed down he put the hair on the window in the studio and signed next to it on a piece of tape. Later I heard that Tompa from At The Gates tore a dreadlock out and put next to Magnus hair.
And when Sparzanza a few years later visited Studio Fredman there was hair on the window from almost everyone who since then had recorded in the studio. Ha ha!!!

Well, that´s it for me today! Go and listen to our album, right now!!!!

Ahh, hate this damn cold weather, it´s been lasting for about two weeks now… I hate it… It sure was a good investment that stove, since the house we are living in is from 1930 something - and the the windows and doors are leaking as hell…

Some say a lot of good music hails from Sweden, I can tell you a secret - it´s to damn cold and dark to be outside - so you sit around at home and strumming that guitar - that´s the secret. Believe me!

Oh yeah, feeling better today, the whiskey helped, it also helps if you are a bit cold…

Off to the…
