Tour in theaters (Svart lilja)

Moto Boy — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:42:07 +0000

I’m writing to tell you about a project I’ve dreamt of for a long time.

After years of touring, the time and circumstances are finally right for me to do a tour only in theaters. And ever since I got to know the modern dancers Ingrid Rosborg and Petra Fors, I have also longed for an opportunity to do a show together with them.

Instead of doing a concert with a dance number before or vice versa, we will merge them and do a show together where the music and dance goes in and out of each other throughout the show. These shows will be dark and magical, beautiful and raw.

I hope you will enjoy being a part of my dream in those theaters,

Early Grave in the Katarina church

Here’s a version of Early Grave that PSL recorded half a year ago, but published only yesterday. I love that you here the echoes of the church room.

Provfilmning till Moto Boy-film

Moto Boss — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 21:02:42 +0000

[apologies to all of you that doesn't speak Swedish, this message is about a casting for a future documentary]

Till hösten kommer en musikdokumentär med och om Moto Boy att spelas in. Filmen som för stunden går under arbetsnamnet “Skönheten & Skiten” avser att lösa upp och utforska gränslandet mellan dröm och verklighet, mellan dokumentär och fiktion. Filmen regisseras av Pelle Hybbinette som tidigare filmat kortfilmer och musikvideor med Moto Boy. Slutresultatet är tänkt att visas både på SVT och bio.

Vi söker nu efter Moto Boy-fans och statister till filmen. Vi gör en casting (provfilmning) i Malmö och det spelar ingen roll om du är ung, gammal, kvinna eller man. Men ett plus är om du gillar musik. Och är en drömmare! Provfilmningen hålls fredagen den 27 augusti, i centrala Malmö och kommer ta ca 15-30 minuter. Vi bjuder på fika!

Skriv några korta rader om dig själv, ålder, kontaktuppgifter, bifoga bild om du vill och maila ASAP (senast den 20:e aug) till: martin@songsiwish.com

Tusen tack på förhand!

Back to my roots

Moto Boy — Mon, 31 May 2010 07:20:02 +0000

Last week I went to my good old Norrland (the beautiful northern part of Sweden) and hooked up with a chamber ensemble. Loved it.

Release in Denmark

Moto Boy — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 07:16:34 +0000

Since a month my new album has been out in Sweden, Finland and Norway. Tomorrow (April 7) it’s Denmarks turn to get a flood of romantic pop songs.
Lost In The Call will be released thru wonderful Slowshark Records.

I’m going to Copenhagen tonight for a small release party at Din Nye Ven at 20.00. Please join the celebrations if you’re in town. I’ll bring my mini amplifier and will play some songs.

Here’s a nice video from the release party for the first album in Malmö 2 years ago for the debut album:

Haha, good memories.

So far, so f*cking amazingly great

Moto Boy — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 19:28:31 +0000

I’m home again after the first leg of the spring tour. Still high from the overwhelming response at the gigs. Thank you all for making those nights magic!

I would love to hear your thoughts on the gigs in Malmö, Linköping, Östersund and Göteborg in the Live section. Please also post links to photos and videos you took.

Here’s a nice video which resulted from the fan-cam experiment that Malmö University did:

Two more at Vimeo.

See you out there soon again.
