Finally back in the cold and (still!) snowy place that is the capital of Sweden, I on Friday despite my constant state of snot filled drowsiness took my girls out for a night of sushi and sleaze. The vegetarian version of the Japanese speciality was full of taste, the glam rock not so much.
Rocks at Mariatorget is a classic among Stockholm rocker water holes and the fact that the arrogant bouncers are bound to make you wait for ages even when the place has only just opened and is as empty as my Easter egg is part of it’s tradition.
This Friday however the queue was short, we made it in just in time for Happy Hour and even my non rocker girlfriends seemed to enjoy themselves.
We sat next to the video wall in the boiling metal bar part of the underground establishment, not far from the DJ booth where members from Swedish glam rock band Crashdïet were spinning tracks. Everything from Europe to ska punk made it out of the speakers and we were having a jolly good time until suddenly the music was toned down, the air filled with suspense and everyone was facing our way.
It was time for the video premiere of Crashdïet’s new single “Generation Wild” and the band was in the building. With fans surrounding them, new frontman Simon Cruz and his band mates were rocking out as if there was no tomorrow, looking very cool as they did so. The members of Crashdïet were clearly loving their own video, shame it’s such a disaster.
Not that that stopped the club from showing it on muted repeat for the rest of the evening whilst fans kept stalking the singer with the star tattoo.
Unfortunately the video is too new to have made it onto YouTube yet but have no fear, here’s an anything but neutral snapshot summary for you:
Smoke on asphalt, underground sewers, hairspray, cool band performance, a white net dress over big boobs, hairspray, red lipstick, a tied up singer, a blood splattering drill, hairspray and a suit clad woman in a white room removing something from her face.
I bet you can't wait. In the meantime this is what the otherwise alright song sounds like.
