Back in Sweden for a while now we're almost back to normal and somewhat focused again. This European tour did definitely leave its mark on us for life.

It started off in Copenhagen, and it was a perfect way to set the vibe for the rest of the tour. It was intensely followed by Schwerin (the home of Rammstein!),
and then to Belgium and Holland directly after that, which meant 4 countries in 4 days.

The gigs were a blast, especially in Marchienne at the mighty Rockerill, one of the coolest places we've ever visited. But you might want to wear a hat
if you're going there.

After that we took a turn to Dortmund for our first semi-acoustic gig ever, which turned out to work better than anyone had expected. Strengthened by this revelation we went on to Kassel (a very strange place), followed by Backnang, a small but very beautiful town.
The people at Casa Carmen treated us very well, and since it was a pub we decided to go semi-acoustic again. To our delight, the promoters had done a great job, and the place got packed with dancing people. We'll definitely come back and do a full-on gig soon!

Then followed Gütersloh, Erfurt und Monheim, which all went down alright. After playing for 9 nights in a row we finally got a well-deserved day off, so we made our way to Berlin, where we were playing the following day. After hitting the bars in Kreutzberg with our booking team, we played at White Trash Fast Food on Monday, which was a huge success. Two separate sets during the night to a delighted audience, and it just got better and
better. Definitely a place to re-visit.

After that followed Darmstadt, which by now had become a standard joke for the band. What would you make of a place called Knabenschule (meaning boyschool in German)? Well, it turned out to be one great punk dungeon, packed with people in what was one of the sweatiest gigs of our career, and the coolest promoters so far who became big Oholics fans afterwards. Danke Dieter!

After a brief interlude in S.t Gallen, Switzerland, we made what was probably our longest set ever, 2 intense hours, in Rheine, followed by a triumphant last gig in Bielefeld, where the audience really understood what being an Oholic is all about. A great ending to an even greater tour, which in the end turned out to be a total of 7250 kilometers in the awesome Oholics van. Now that we have Europe by our feet there's no stopping us,
and apart from all the places we will revisit, we still have many more countries and cities left on the map, so watch out for the second European coming of OHOLICS!

A special thanks to Kultur Ungdom for supporting the tour!

Endless Sea - Second single plus music video

2010-02-19T05:43:00.002+01:00

On Feb 20th Oholics released their second single Endless Sea from their critically acclaimed debut album Disgraceland.

The single comes in two versions; a shorter radio version as well as the original album version, also with their second music video.

Disgraceland has been well received by both critics as well as audience:

4/5 DN 2009-11-30 (Nils Hansson - Sweden)
"The best thing with Oholics is their groove and how they put together all their rigorously studied influences in a package that appears rapped spontaneously just a moment ago.”

5/5 Decibels Blog 2010-02-04 (Evelyn Hernández - Mexico)
"It’s almost impossible to pick the most prominent track, when in fact the first to the last track forms an amazing album, with energy and so many elements beyond guitar, bass and drums."

8/10 Americana UK (Paul Kerr - England)
"With a sound rooted in early Floyd (with a Syd Barrett cover to boot) it’s revved up to hyperdrive and could actually be the album that the Stones tried to make with their Satanic Majesties. Listen loud or on headphones for an experience.”

Endless Sea is available for download world wide from iTunes and Amazon among others.

Enjoy!

Oholics night out...

2009-05-29T16:26:00.001+02:00

Ja fan, då var det dags igen!
Minnena från gårdagen är väldigt suddiga om inte obefintliga. Rep, skål,
jazzhuset.
Efter att klarat av bedriften att vara på jazzhuset till det stängde utan
några större missöden drog festen vidare och slutade med en episk
efterfest.

Men vad hände? Ingen vet... kanske finner vi svaret i botten på en folköl,
den som lever får se.
