6月16日 13:07 photo by Jonny TaxénSo it’s a wrap then. Just passed Munich on our way home and it feels a little empty and quiet on the bus now that the Americans and Mirko and Johnny is no longer onboard. At the same time it’s nice to be able to let your guard down since there’s no show this evening. I’m a happy man today since we managed to keep the spirit and perform well all the way up to the ...
6月15日 (Pratteln - Milan)photo by Jonny TaxénIt’s still the best sound on stage…period. No venue tops Z7. It’s like you’re in your own living room listening to some very familiar music when you’re up there, with the exception of that you’re playing of course. Thank you Z7 for once again delivering the goods in a way that’s just top notch. I didn’t wear the jacket yesterday. It was Mediterranean ...
6月14日 (Prague - Pratteln)And yes the balcony was full too. Palac Akropolis in Prague was packed with supportive fans yesterday that were singing along to the lyrics and showed us their love and appreciation in the best possible way. We had the accordion monster Aliaksandr Yasinski guesting us, so it was an emotional evening for both the audience and the musicians on stage. According to Aliaksand...
6月13日 (Wroclaw - Prague)photo by Jonny TaxénBefore and after (referring to the photos).I must once again state that the stage looked really cool with those organ pipes as a backdrop. It took only a hand clap out in the room yesterday to realise it will be a real challenge to get the sound together. I felt sorry for our sound engineer Varg, who didn’t stand a chance against the acoustics in the h...
6月12日 (Wroclaw)photo by Jonny TaxénIt’s not everyday you have a pipe organ as a back drop! Really cool. The Wroclaw Radio Hall is built first and foremost for classical music and symphony orchestras me thinks. In other words we need to be extra careful during soundcheck because the sound in the room has a reverb of its own. First things first. We played at Viften in Copenhagen (Denmark) yesterda...
6月11日 (Aschaffenburg - Copenhagen)TFK has played at ColosSaal in Aschaffenburg countless of times and yesterday tops them all. The tickets were over sold or how to put it (more than sold out), with the result that I could see people in the doorway into the venue digging to the music. I believe you guys were the loudest so far, or maybe it was because of the low ceiling? Never mind the vibe in th...
6月10日 (Groningen - Aschaffenburg)photo by Martien KoolenHad a day off in Groningen yesterday where Mike, Varg and me walked the city for ten hours with several pit stops in pubs, cocktail bars and restaurants. A great time we’re held by all of us. So we played at the venue Oosterpoort in Groningen the day before yesterday and once again we discovered a new and fabulously great place to play. I...
06/08 (Paris - Groningen)There are certain places or cities where you don’t want to make a fool of yourself and Paris is one of them. I mean where’s the logic? My general philosophy is that every show is equally important so how did it come to this? Well we all have our flaws don’t we. Le Trianon proved to be a lovely venue, where the backstage area included a big terrace, where you could have you...
06/07 (Tilburg - Paris)photo by Harold JansenJust had breakfast in a Paris covered with grey clouds. We’re back on the European continent since yesterday and our first stop was the amazing 013 in Tilburg (where we filmed the ’Instant Delivery’ DVD soon to be twenty years ago). I only have superlatives to say about the evening so I’ll stop here. In short it was great. The only downside was that I w...
06月6日 (Manchester - Tilburg)Thank you UK, or London and Manchester better said. Once again great and enthusiastic crowds and I can honestly say it’s always a pleasure to play for you guys. Not even the technical issues that seems to follow in our footsteps so far during this tour can bring this touring entourage down. The same goes for the heavy rainfall during load in in Manchester, which tour...
06/04 (London)So here we have the new boy band ”The Front Page Boys”. No seriously we’ve made a lot of covers this time and now we’re on the front of the Japanese magazine ’Euro Rock Press’. This is of course magnificent since it helps us spreading our music even more. Our travelling days are now over and this evening we’re playing in London, at Islington Assembly Hall. There’s always something. ...
06/02 (Manana)Manana. Since we’re in no hurry on our way to England, we spent a lovely afternoon in Dunkirk (among other things). We’re now back on the bus on our way to Calais, so let’s hope we have the paperwork in order. Right now it feels more like I’m on vacation than on tour but that is soon about to change. We’re playing at Islington Assembly Hall in London on Wednesday June 4, and at Acad...
5月31日 (Göteborg)ツアマネのJohnnyさん（左）とMickeWoke up in a sunny Gothenburg a couple of hours ago, had breakfast and now we’re chatting/working inside the bus before we leave for England later today. A premiere is always a premiere but I think our gig in Stockholm turned out a decent show. After a catastrophic start yesterday (technical problems), we managed to turn it around and at the end ...
5月29日 (Stockholm)So here’s where the scene of the crime will happen this evening, starting at 19:30. Welcome to Södra Teatern in Stockholm for an evening with Neal Morse and The Flower Kings....
The premiere of the tour at Södra Teatern in Stockholm is exactly one week away today. I'm still struggling a bit to get my vocal chords to cooperate with the notes I have in mind after all the coughing lately, but I'm confident they'll be in shape in time for the tour. I learnt during the latest TFK rehearsal sessions that Södra Teatern was Lalles father, the actor Egon Larssons second home. He p...
大の里が綱取りなるか？の五月場所の最中で気もそぞろです。そんなそぞろな記事です。The Flower Kingsの欧州ツアーを控えたHasse Fröberg、どうも風邪を引いたらしく、一時期声が出なくなったようです。回復してきているようですが、ライブに影響がないと良いですね。昨年11月2日に行われたHFMCのライブから、

I’m pleased to say that ‘Eternal Snapshots’ is selling more and faster than our previous albums according to our record label. Not only that, it’s doing better than before on streaming platforms and on downloads. This is of course great before our coming shows, which will all be different from each other with different setlists. We’re looking forward to seeing you at:29/6 Midsummer Prog, Valkenbur...
from Hasse's facebookIt’s been two years since we last were on stage together and we have according to me some high profile shows coming up, so what to do? Well we arranged a production rehearsal combined with a secret gig in front of a small crowd of invited family and friends. We don’t know the result of yesterday’s effort yet but it sure felt good and it looks to me that we managed to convince ...

取り急ぎ。HFMCの新作「Eternal Snapshots」から、PV第一弾がリリースされました。今作はコンセプトアルバムですが、その中でもキャッチーでそこそこ短い曲が選ばれたようです。
Heard a week ago that Sweden is the country with the most worldwide hits per capita in the world. Ain’t that something! I mean it makes me both happy and proud but I can’t take any credit for it. Hmmm maybe I chose the wrong genre for that. For as long as I can remember I’ve been more fascinated by let’s say ’White Man’ than ‘Another One Bites The Dust’ by Queen, or ‘Siberian Khatru’ than ‘Owner O...
I don't want to be in Sampos shoes right now. He's editing the first video out of our new album 'Eternal Snapshots'. The song is called 'Once In A Lifetime' and the premiere will be next week. He's been busy rehearsing HFMC lately and now he's preparing for a short run in Europe with the Australian band Toehider, all at once more or less! So please join me and wish Sampo and the guys in Toehider t...
My Kinda Girl (single) 1984Forty year anniversary.Can you believe it, I've been releasing records for forty years, this very year 2024. I can hardly believe it myself. Have I learnt something? Yes but the funny thing is that the learning curve seems to have taken the opposite direction. When we released the Spellbound debut album 'Breaking The Spell' in 1984 I knew everything. I literally thought ...
Stronger than evil.One would think one disaster per recording would be enough but apparently not. Kjell all of a sudden disappeared from the radar after Antons surgery. Kjell had recorded some
Nothing wears a good man down.HFMC guitarist extraordinaire Anton Lindsjö has had this problem for quite a while and by the time we started to record our coming opus 'Eternal Snapshots' he was using 12 litres of dialysis/day. My car was full of boxes of this liquid when we left for Nevo Studios in Sundsvall and the four day session to cut the backing tracks. For me it was right there and then I un...
To put things straight. This was no old dream of mine or anything. I just wanted to force myself to write lyrics in a new way and I wanted to stay away from subjects I normally write about. I can also confess I chose the easy way out, as we do not get to follow these people from birth to the end of their days. Before I continue I want to tell you the following. People loaded with money always says...

What a journey! This recording was something out of the ordinary, it really was. Major and life changing things happened to members of the band. There was a huge misunderstanding when it comes to the deadline, which created the mandatory panic when it was time to finish and close this recording but more of that the coming weeks. I'll also give you more information about the concept of the album, a...

from Hasse's facebookJust woke up on American soil here in Miami, feeling a little worn out thanks to the travelling day yesterday and the time difference of course. One of the pics pretty much reflects how I feel right now. The other photo tells you that the other band I’m playing in namely HFMC, is now confirmed for this years lineup of Midsummer Prog Festival in Valkenburg (NL) on June 29. This...
左から2番目がKjell Haraldsson少し前のニュースなのですが、HFMCのキーボーディスト、Kjell Haraldssonのニュースです。2024年1月24日（本文）LIFE: Chapter 2. Some of you may know that I’ve been struggling with illness for a while. I had surgery last week and everything went very well. I’m beyond words of gratitude. どうも病に伏せっていたようです。某筋から聞いた話によると、去年暮れから具合が悪かったらし...
こんにちは。初場所は照ノ富士の優勝で締めくくり、琴ノ若が大関昇進を決めました。正直、今場所の照ノ富士には期待していませんでした。序盤は相手の腕をたぐって組まない相撲が多く、やはり膝や腰の状態が悪いのだろうと思っていました。勝ち越して、15日休まずに出場できたら上出来だろうと。ところが終盤はどうですか！霧島を吹っ飛ばし、イケイケな琴ノ若をねじ伏せました。横綱という地位の恐ろしさを見せつけられた気がしま...
明けましておめでとうございます。今年ものんびりよろしくお願いします。珍しく大相撲初場所が終わる前に記事を投稿します（笑）。1月4日はHasse Fröbergの60才の誕生日でした。なんと還暦。誕生日当日にはスタジオで作業していて、盛大なお祝いはしなかったようです。還暦を祝う習慣は中国から来たようですが、西洋では50才の方が盛大に祝いような気がします。そもそも干支の概念がないもんね。1月5日（17:29）付のHasseの投稿：H...
