Fornicators

A little trip back 20 years ago, April 06’ Wasted festival, Amsterdam with the current lineup!

So today it's time to once again celebrate Tim's birthday. He is now over half a century old, and we thought it time to look back and reflect on a looong lifetime of debauchery and sin.

Not many know this, but in the before time, when the world was still young, Tim was somewhat of a seeker. Having missed the death and resurrection by a year or two and having not yet found his calling as the world's least famous punk rock singer, Tim actually dipped his toes in several versions of unorganized religion.

For example, he was once a member of Heaven's Gate but was exiled for refusing to wear the fancy sneakers that were required (Dr. Martens being his obvious and only choice).

It is also well known that Tim can never say no to free booze, but sadly it got him thrown out from Jonestown for drinking all the "free" punch.

Moving on, he tried his best with smaller communities but was shunned and faced sexual harassment charges by the Manson family for being too much of a "creepy" uncle.

He also had to be forcibly removed by police from a minor religious community in Waco, Texas, for being too much of a gun nut.

Lastly, he was excommunicated from a small group in Japan for getting high on his own supply and being too poor to afford a subway ticket.

Tim finally (and thankfully) gave up on trying to reach enlightenment and adopted the carefree "f**k you" attitude the local police so know and love.

With all that said , we hope you have finally found your true calling in life!

Oh and Happy birthday pal!

Today is a special day. It marks the birth of the engine in the centrum of the unstopable machine that is Fornicators. Although Larsha today is well behaved this was not always the case. It took years of dedicated conditioning and practice to make him reach this state of humanity.

As you know drummers are very special and if your band is thinking of adopting one there are som things you should be aware of.
The drummers natural state are both homeless and jobbless so a good financial situation for the band is required.

Finding a drummer is a challenging task. Given the adaptive nature of the beasts they can be hard to spot. We recommend you seek them out in the dimmly lit backrooms of your lookal music store. Here they hunt for the ever elusive perfect drumskin or the best sounding snare.

To actually catch a drummer you need to get creative, we have found that they respond well to ads that contain the words "free", "food" and "basic algebra not required".

Once you get hold of one the real work begins. Make sure the drummer has room to roam and a large wheel for excercise. Of corse the drummer needs a lot of things to drum on to stave of the annoying restless drumming syndrome.
Make sure the lessons are short and concentrated. Signs of an empty stare or drool dripping from the mouth is indication that the drummer mind is full and a break is needed.

Remeber if the drummer you got is not to your liking there has been incredible improvements to the modern drum machines. For more information on the topic we recommend the documentaries ”Wanted the singer but slept with the drummer” or ”Shall we try one of my songs? – a drummers last words”.

We wish you luck on your hunt and hope your band find a drummer to your liking.

Oh and Happy birthday Lasha!

Happy 40th birthday to our legendary bass player Hampus!

Today marks a historic moment. Not because you turned 40… but because archaeologists worldwide have finally confirmed that Hampus is now officially old enough to be considered an artifact himself.

After years of professional experience digging up ancient bones, pottery, and forgotten civilizations, Hampus has now reached the exciting stage of life where he can simply look in the mirror for research material.

When he’s not carefully brushing dirt off 2,000-year-old objects, he’s at home carefully brushing Cheeto dust off his keyboard while yelling at 12-year-olds in shooter games and “strategically hydrating” with his 7th beer of the evening. True dedication to science.

Fun fact: the only thing older than the ruins he excavates is his reaction time in PC shooters.

Here’s to 40 years of questionable decisions, loud bass lines, dusty holes in the ground, and enough beer to carbon-date your liver.

Happy birthday you ancient leg

This year this little gem is celebrating 20 years, released on Alcoholic Records recorded at SR produced by Thomas Eriksson and artwork by Tim and Daffy.

At the time the crashdiet singer and guitarist, David Hellman, had signed to universal records and I asked him since we were very close to record a sleezy guitar solo for the song ‘My City’ which he agreed upon even though he was warned by their record company.

I had a portable 16 track recording device at home so he came in and laid down the solo doing just one take. Sadly he passed away just a few month later, so for me personally that song is my favorite.

‘Your search of gold is a waste of time
It’s the finest blade that will get broken down
So eyes open, walk trough that gate
I had been longing to meet you
But it’s never to late’

“My City”

Very sad to hear about the passing of Lee, for us he was a good friend and also one of the first to help us play in the the U..K. Will surely be missed and our thoughts goes to his family and all of his punk family.
Cheers Lee

2003, we did our first “proper” tour in Germany. and half way into the tour we decided that like every cool band we should have our band name on our van (Peter Punks van to be honest) , said and done we found some nice looking green tape and began to create the best looking “logo” mankind ever seen, the fact that we ran out of green tape and also space doesn’t really matter when you’re young, drunk and on top of the world.
