Hey buddies!
At the moment we're all hanging out at Karsten, the merchguy of Campus, place before we're heading down to Oost-kamp (which in swedish sounds almost like cheese-fight haha). Last night was really awesome, we played and hung out with our brothers in Campus and The Handshake Affair and we found some new friends in the awesome italian band A Breach On Heaven.
Great people, great bands, great night!
Tonight's our last show before we drive home, a nice little 13-hour drive. Though this is not the end of this blog. As some of you already know we're working on a new record and when we come back home we'll keep on writing about the recording of the new album.

have a great day guys
kisses & hugs

Hello from Copenhagen!

2008-08-08T02:36:00.000-07:00

Hello friends!

Yesterday we said goodbye to Rasmus!
The man behind the Intohimo/Campus tour, the man with the big M.
He has taken care of all the booked shows, making sure we get there, and in time, feeding 5 hungry musicians,doing the movie bloggs, picking up all the stuff they forget at every venue, reading great thoughtful stuff for them from books,
taking decisions when everybody is tired,
making sure all the stuff fits in the crowded van and so on and so on....

theres no words for how much Rasmus has done, and now he´s gone!!!!!!!!!! He is going home to find a apartment and starting his studies.
So here we are now with 3 more gigs to go and no Rasmus!
But it has worked ok so far, yesterday we played at a little club in the center of Copenhagen and it was nice! Thank you to everyone of you that came, if you happen to read this. And a big thank you to Dee and Nicolai for having us!

So now it´s friday morning and some of the guys are taking a dip in the sea! Like allways....haha. Today we have a five hour drive ahead of us, we are going to Cuxhaven to play at Derladen at 11 tonight! After that we will drive a long way to Belgium to play 2 more showes, and then we will head back to Sweden for some rest and some qualitytime with families and friends, girlfriends and all the people we miss! It,s great being out like this! We love it! But we do miss our dear ones, so thank you to you that come out and hang with us! All our new friends make all of this feel more like home.

So we will see when we can write again here, now when Rasmus is not with us, we will do our best! Take care!

ENJOY PEOPLE!/ rasmus

Nice people and cockroaches!

2008-08-01T11:16:00.000-07:00

Sooo guys, long time no see!
We havn't been able to write anything because we havn't found any places where they have internet.
But we've had a couple of awesome days :) We've been having two days off in Wien and it was really awesome! We love that city, it's freaking beautiful and the people we met where really nice. We went for some shopping and some of us took a swim in a near by lake.
We stayed at the one and only Nancy fancys place during those days, and that was really awesome too!

After those days in Wien we went to Budapest, Hungary. These cities are pretty different. It's really sad to see all the things that the second world war left behind in Budapest, there's alot of shooting marks on the walls of old houses and such.
But Budapest is really a beautiful city over all, alot of beautiful buildings (:
and the gig we did came out really good! I was so fun! We played at a little club somewhere in the middle of the city and it was a really cool place with a bunch of really nice people.

And the place where we got a place to sleep was... interesting:P It was some kind of a youth hostel and it was cockroaches on the floor, haha. but it was a fun experience after all.

Today we drove for like seven hours to get to Olbernhau in Germany where we are at the moment. And this place is really sweet(: We've been given great food and the guys promoting are awesome guys.
So we're going to play in a couple of hours and then we sleeping here at the venue. Tomorrow we're going for a swim before we're heading of to the next place that's Bremen(:

And that's pretty much what has happend during the last days.
Take care guys!

Love

/Johan

Here's videos from our Dessau and Vienna.

ENJOY! / rasmus

To Wien!

2008-07-29T03:58:00.000-07:00

Hey guys!
Now we´re on the highway to Wien, and we´re really excited.
No one in the band has been there before.
We´re going to celebrate Karsten today, the merch guy in Campus because it´s his birthday.
The show at Magnet Club was totally amazing and sick hehe. I got a piece of glass in my foot, it was scary. But Dr. Rasmus, my hero, hrlped me out.
It was awesome to hang out with good friends in Berlin, we love you all.
Yesterday we played in Dessau, it was a blast! It was alot of people and freaking hot on the stage! Probably the most exhausting show ever.
We were sleeping in Blonks rehersalroom, and this morning was amazing. We woke up and took a swim in Nils swimmingpool, and we got a wonderful breakfast. Thank you so much Nils and your family!
And thank you everyone that bought our merch and just supported us, I hope you understand how much it means for us!
This tour is a dream coming true and we´re so thankful to everyone that is so kind and wonderful to us!
See you at the shows!
Take care /Jocke

ceep it real / rasmus (tourleder)

2008-07-26T10:38:00.000-07:00

So now we're at the Magnet club in Berlin.. and it's sooo warm outside it's sick!
We're all pretty tired today but we're all happy to be here, and we're so looking forward to the show tonight! This place is really sweet, and the the people working here is really friendly(:

Another great thing is that we've met our good and tall friend Martin today! We did a quick stop at his place on our way here to pick him and some drums up. Simon is getting a new drumset, but is going to borrow Martins until he gets them. Martin is a great guy, and he has helped us alot lately, so a big thanks goes out to him!

soon it'a time for us to do our soundcheck(: And we're playing at 01:30 tonight!
It's going to be awsome!

we got another tourblog up just a minute ago at youtube, so check it out guys!

that's all for now, hope to see some of you guys during the tour!

take care /johan

Fredericia

2008-07-25T16:14:00.001-07:00

Hey guys (:
So now we’re in fredericia, denmark. The weather is great and some of the other guys is taking a swim at the moment.
Today we woke up in malmö.. pretty early. Our thought was to leave at one o clock, but after we had taken way to much time on putting in money on the bank, eating and meeting up with some new friends the time had flown away. Soooo we were a bit late for the show here in fredericia.. but we did manage to get here just in time for the sound check, witch went pretty good(: so now we’re waiting for the show. We just had some great food, and people are really friendly here.

I’m so looking forward to see Campus again, cause they’re getting better and better for everyday!! So if you havn’t checked them out, then do that! (myspace.com/campusbe).

I think that’s all for now…
Tour is going great so far, and if you live in or near anyone of the cities we’re playing in, then come out to the shows and say hi! We would love to talk to you!

Take care guys

highway to malmö

2008-07-24T06:42:00.000-07:00

Hello friends!

So today we are spending most of the day in our rented bus, driving the 500 kilometers from Örebro to Malmö were we are playing our fourth show of the tour tonight at 7 pm, we are playing with our dear friends in Campus and a couple of other bands and we are really excited to get down and meet everyone of you that will come! For you that don’t know much about us or about the show we will be playing in a skate park pretty close by the docks and we are really looking forward to see all the bands and all the talented kids there who come to skate and hang out. Thanks again to everyone of you that showed up in Örebro yesterday, we were overwhelmed by the support you guys gave us during the show, we really enjoyed getting to know some of you a little bit also, after all that’s the major reason why we play, it might be a obvious statement, but we really would not be anything without you! And life is all about relationships anyway! So if you are coming to the park today to see the bands and have the time afterwards we would love to hang out with you!

/ Jesper, Intohimo

Arrival to Örebro

2008-07-23T05:16:00.000-07:00

So here we are, in Örebro.
We just loaded in our stuff to the venue and we're waiting for the soundcheck that is about to start in like 10 minutes.

The weather is really nice in Sweden today, so we had a little band-talk in the sun. We discussed the tour and stuff.
If you've got the chance to come to any of the shows on this tour, make sure to do! Cause this is gonna be crazy!

We also went to a secondhand store and checked out some really cool cloths! (Not as cool as our merch though)

The first entry.

2008-07-20T11:51:00.000-07:00

So, this is the new INTOHIMO blog.
We thought that this would be a good way to let people know what we were up to. All of us in the band will write a little once in a while and put up some pictures from our adventures.
Right now we're packing up for our summertours with Campus from Belgium and The Handshake Affair. We start of with an acoustic (!) show in our hometown Jönköping tomorrow and then the tour starts of for "real" for the rest of us the day after that in Norrköping. All the tourdates are available from our myspace. Come hang out with us!
Cheers
