Artist History
Dress Rehearsal Rags is band based in the city of Gothenburg, that first began playing in december 2000. The band formed around a couple of songs that Kristian had written some time before. The music was originally meant to be performed in a singer/songwriter way, but soon Kristian discovered that a band would make it more fun and add som extra impeuts. The aim of the band is basically to write good songs and then perform them in a simple but characteristic way.
The band have recorded one demo-cd, containing six songs that were recorded on a four-track analog portastudio in our rehearsal- and livingrooms. Thereafter the songs were coloured through a distortionpedal and mastered on a homecomputer. In May 2001 the demo was released. It immediately got lots of positive feedback, mainly thanks to the good songwriting and the absorbing and unconventional sound.
Up until today´s date Dress Rehearsal Rags have appeared live at numeral occassions. Our live performances have been both anticipated and acclaimed. The venues we have played are: Restaurant Minus in Gothenburg April 2001, The Artschool of Valand in Gothenburg May 2001, The Offtherecordstore in Gotenburg 5 Oktober 2001, Restaurant Jord in Gotenburg 10 oktober 2001 and Club Patricia in Stockholm 14 November 2001. Upcoming dates are at Rio-Rio Club Wave in Gotenburg 21 November 2001 and at the Pustervikstheatre 28 December 2001.
Moreover, the band had an interview and two songs played in the program P3-demo at Sveriges Radio P3 (the national radio in Sweden) 13 oktober and a video for ”Successful Shoes” played in the Swedish Television on 19 september. This is merely the beginning…
