Liv Jagrell is a Swedish heavy metal vocalist renowned for fronting the bands Sister Sin and Liv Sin. She gained prominence with Sister Sin, a Gothenburg-based group active from 2002 to 2015 (with later reunions), thanks to her powerful vocals and energetic performances, and later formed the heavier Liv Sin in 2016, releasing albums including one in 2025 via Seek & Strike Records. Her style mixes aggressive riffs, melodic hooks, and influences like Nirvana, stemming from a musical family background, while she also shares vocal covers of bands such as Lamb of God and In Flames online.
After more than a decade, on February 3, 2026, Sister Sin released their single "Suicide Hill" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2ehJ2qVPjQ

0:29

0:59
>> I listened to to to those two albums a
1:01
lot. Uh so it's it's a pleasure to have
1:04
you here. Uh
1:06
first I I wanted to ask you about about
1:09
uh about how did you get the name Sister
1:12
Sin because because Twisted Sister is my
1:14
favorite band. Does it have does it have
1:17
connection with with twist with Twisted
1:19
Sister?
1:20
>> No, it doesn't. It it was not it's not
1:23
my idea with the name. It was
1:26
>> either our drummer Dave or our first
1:29
bass player's idea. Okay. There was a
1:32
Swedish glam band from the 80s kind of
1:36
glam band and right now I can't remember
1:38
the name of that band but I think they
1:40
had a song called Sisters in and that's
1:43
why but that's where the name come from.
1:46
But I'm also a huge Twist Sister fan. Uh
1:50
so but unfortunately it's not coming
1:51
from there. It's coming from some
1:53
obscure uh 80s glam Swedish glam band
1:57
apparently from a song there and I can't
1:59
remember the name for of the band. right
2:01
now. But yeah.
2:03
>> Wow. Amazing. Amazing. I just heard a
2:05
story from uh for for some for some also
2:09
from some obscure uh band from from
2:12
Sweden that uh that they got their song
2:16
stolen by Poison in America.
2:19
>> But
2:19
>> yeah, that might be true. I don't
2:21
remember which band that is. It might be
2:23
the same. No, it's probably not the
2:24
same. But I I I think I've heard that as
2:27
well.
2:28
>> I can't confirm it. It it was it was the
2:30
song I want action tonight, you know. So
2:34
it it was it was like Yeah,
2:36
>> that Yeah, maybe that was the easy
2:38
action that
2:39
>> Yeah, it was it easy action. Yeah. Yeah.
2:41
Yeah. It was it was that that that's
2:43
that chorus. Yeah. Yeah.
2:45
>> Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. That's Yeah, that's
2:47
true.
2:49
Yeah.
2:50
>> Uh okay. Thank you for for coming to the
2:53
show. So I I I want to I want to ask you
2:55
about how did you start uh first with
2:58
with with music? I mean you you you must
3:00
have had some other bands before Sister
3:02
Scene.
3:04
>> Yeah. Well, I started when I was around
3:06
14 I think. I I um I was totally in love
3:11
with Nibana. And through Nana I found
3:15
Courtney Love and Hull and I just
3:18
thought that she was like the coolest
3:20
girl ever and and
3:23
Maybe she wasn't the best idol to have
3:27
when you're a teenager, but but I really
3:30
loved her attitude and I was like, "Oh,
3:33
I want to this is what I want to do. I
3:35
want to play guitar and I want to be in
3:37
a band." So, I started playing guitar.
3:40
Uh, and u I but I don't I'm not doing
3:43
that so much anymore. But I actually
3:44
started out playing guitar and I wanted
3:46
to be a guitar player. Uh, and I I
3:49
forced my best friends to start a band
3:51
with me. So, I played guitar and I was
3:53
singing and I forced I had two best
3:55
friends and I forced one of them to play
3:57
bass and the other one to play drums.
3:59
So, we started a band called uh this is
4:01
also fun because it's everywhere.
4:03
Sisters of Collie. So, we had the
4:05
sisters here as well. Uh but yeah,
4:08
Sisters of Collie. Uh that was my first
4:10
ever band and we played I think two
4:12
years, three years maybe. And then we
4:15
split up, you know, it was after
4:17
everybody moved moved out of our small
4:19
town and went to to college, etc. like
4:23
that. So, so uh and uh then I didn't I
4:27
had a couple of small bands here and
4:29
there before Sister Sin, but actually
4:31
Sister Sin was the the first real band
4:35
after my girl band when I was a
4:38
teenager.
4:38
>> Yeah. So, Sister Sin was around early
4:42
2000s, right?
4:43
>> Yeah. like 2003 something like that. Uh
4:47
we we kind of almost forgot exactly when
4:49
we started but something like that. I
4:52
lived in Gothberg 2002 to 2003. So it
4:55
has to be around those years
4:58
>> cuz then I moved to Stockholm and then I
5:00
already I already started playing with
5:02
the sisters. So, so it was like first
5:04
professional band for you and
5:06
>> Yeah.
5:07
>> And absolutely, but we was we were not
5:09
very when we started we were not very
5:11
professional but I mean we we we played
5:14
for such a long times that we grew into
5:16
a professional
5:17
>> band. So yeah you so you were playing a
5:19
lot of a lot of years before before
5:22
making it uh absolutely we got our first
5:26
record label around record contract
5:29
around 2008 something. So yeah, so we
5:32
had played a couple of years.
5:34
>> 2008 is Switchblade Serenade, right?
5:37
>> Yes. Yes. I think we released like some
5:40
kind of uh on some Greek label, some
5:44
minor um EP before that. But if if to be
5:50
really honest, Twitch serate is the
5:52
first real one for me. And that's 2008.
5:55
>> Yeah. Yeah. It it it's it's a
5:57
breakthrough album like uh like no no
6:01
not not many bands have because it's it
6:04
got you right where you where you wanted
6:06
touring and stuff with the big names,
6:09
right? Uh
6:10
>> absolutely. And I think that I mean
6:13
that's have have everything to do with
6:15
the record label we had cuz we got
6:17
picked up by Victory Records which was a
6:21
um independent but a big independent
6:24
label in in the US and they put a lot of
6:27
money into us and obviously that made us
6:30
be able to tour and to do all these
6:33
things. So that's why cuz cuz we really
6:36
struggled in Sweden to to get known
6:40
here. Uh and it always felt like uh we
6:43
had more luck in the US than we had in
6:46
our home country. So uh um yeah
6:49
definitely much much thanks to the
6:52
record label that we had. They were very
6:54
they had a very aggressive PR attitude
6:58
with their artist. So that that was
7:00
obviously very good for us.
7:02
>> Yeah. I remember Victory Victory
7:04
Records. Which were the names? They they
7:06
they also released some other some other
7:09
bands. Do you remember?
7:10
>> Well, they Yeah. Well, they had Atro I
7:13
think they had Breaking B. I'm not sure.
7:15
And there was so many other hardcore
7:17
bands. The metal core the hardcore bands
7:19
they went
7:21
>> uh from Victory and then
7:23
>> Yeah.
7:24
>> everywhere else because Victory doesn't
7:25
exist at this like that anymore. Uh but
7:29
they had they had really big band
7:30
Silverstein I think as well but now when
7:33
when I I haven't thought about that the
7:35
label for such a long time so I have
7:37
forgotten what all the names.
7:39
>> Yeah.
7:40
>> Yeah. So you toured with I don't know
7:44
with big bands like Doro Pesh like uh
7:47
like uh Motorhead like right a lot of
7:52
big big names back then like supporting
7:54
them or stuff. Yeah. Which which was
7:56
your your favorite tour from back in the
7:58
day with Sister S?
8:02
>> Um
8:03
that is a hard obviously we played
8:06
actually we only played two shows
8:08
supporting Motorhead uh in America.
8:11
>> But that was amazing and that was like
8:13
really super cool to do and we met I
8:17
mean it we met Lemi and it was it was
8:20
really awesome. So I'm super grateful. I
8:23
think that that's probably one of the
8:25
best memories to have to uh with do at
8:31
those two shows with Motorhead. But
8:33
otherwise, I have to say just before we
8:37
uh quit Twist in, we played um
8:42
uh my head I'm sorry I'm tired today. So
8:45
my head is like um that pouring festival
8:49
in in in the US that I forgot about the
8:52
name now.
8:53
>> Oh, it was the uh maybe festival. No.
8:56
>> Yes. The mayhem.
8:57
>> Yeah.
8:57
>> Yes. Uh that I mean to to do that kind
9:01
of thing when you have a touring
9:02
festival with the same bands and it's 6
9:04
weeks everything is like you know the
9:07
planning and the everything is perfect.
9:11
It's so good. So that is for me that's
9:14
one of the coolest things I ever done
9:17
because it was uh you have everybody
9:20
helping you out and
9:22
>> everything is so well organized.
9:26
>> So that was amazing to do and I would
9:28
love to do that such a thing again.
9:31
>> Awesome. I I I think it will happen of
9:34
course now that you're back for a few
9:36
for a few years with Sister Sim. Why why
9:39
did you guys break up in 2015 16? When
9:42
was that?
9:43
>> Uh, we broke up in 2015 and and we had
9:47
it was I mean to be honest it was due to
9:51
too much touring. Uh, we were all very
9:54
very tired
9:57
>> super exhausted. Um, I do love the
10:00
touring so I couldn't really see that
10:02
that I was exhausted as well but I we
10:05
had two band members that couldn't take
10:07
it anymore for personal reasons. Yeah.
10:10
So they left the band in 2015 after
10:14
Mayhem and after we had done a couple
10:16
more summer breeze and some shows and
10:19
they uh left the band and it was only me
10:21
and the drummer and we we kind of said
10:23
that it's not going to be stitch just in
10:26
if it's we take in two new members. It
10:29
does it didn't feel right to do that. So
10:33
then we said uh let's end it here
10:35
instead because it it would be weird to
10:37
take in two new members and then it
10:39
maybe it doesn't work etc. So um we did
10:42
we quit and when I think about it I
10:45
think we did we maybe were we were a
10:48
little bit um doing it in a rush cuz we
10:50
were also tired and a bit angry and you
10:53
know frustrated.
10:55
Uh cuz I really felt that we quit on
10:59
when we were in our prime.
11:00
>> Yeah. Yeah. And I uh I I had still some
11:05
bitterness towards that. Um cuz all I
11:09
want to do was play music in tour. But I
11:12
totally understand why my band members
11:15
left. They couldn't they were not
11:17
feeling well. I could see it. They were
11:20
they were not happy. I uh I I I I heard
11:25
a similar story from uh uh you know, you
11:29
probably know the Norwegian band Wigwam,
11:31
you know.
11:32
>> Yeah. Yeah. I have not met them, but I
11:34
know. Yeah.
11:34
>> Yeah. Yeah. the the singer was my my
11:37
guest here on the podcast and he told me
11:39
a similar story how they broke up
11:41
because of exhaustion of touring and uh
11:44
for maybe more like 10 years and after
11:47
that they became again friends and and
11:50
continued playing
11:52
>> but uh but after 2015 16 it's is it then
11:58
when you when you made the band live
12:00
scene after that? Yeah, absolutely.
12:02
Because for me, my whole life was living
12:07
around Sister Sin. It was my whole life
12:10
was being the vocalist of Sister Sin.
12:13
And when that disappeared, I I didn't
12:16
know where to go. I didn't know what to
12:17
do. I lost my whole identity. And for
12:20
almost a year, I was super depressed.
12:23
And I didn't know where to start over
12:25
and how to start over. Just felt like my
12:27
whole life was over. So, but then after
12:30
a while I had a very I was a very good
12:32
good boyfriend who who is know my now my
12:34
husband who like told me and got me to
12:38
believe that just because sister sin
12:41
doesn't exist it doesn't mean that I
12:44
need to stop making music I can still
12:47
continue making music so after almost a
12:51
year I I started to believe in that
12:54
thought or that I started to believe in
12:57
that and I was like, "Okay, I want to
13:00
still make music." And then I was like,
13:02
"What kind of music do I want to do?"
13:05
Uh, and because I've always been into
13:07
more heavier music, more modern metal
13:10
kind of music. So, I I was like, "Okay,
13:13
if I'm going to do my own thing, I'm I
13:16
need to make music that I really want to
13:19
do." though and I started Livine and
13:22
obviously we have the music has a little
13:24
bit changed over the years but it it it
13:28
goes towards the the heavier stuff all
13:30
the time cuz that's more my identity
13:33
actually. I'm not very much a rock and
13:35
roll girl. Uh I'm more much a metal
13:38
girl. So, so I started I started with
13:41
with Liv Sin and finally I like felt
13:45
that I also could make music that suited
13:49
my voice and I could experiment with my
13:51
voice which I am really love to do. Uh
13:54
and and I got to I mean I write we are
13:58
me
14:00
guitar the guitar players and and the
14:03
drummer writes the music but I write all
14:05
the lyrics I wrote all the melodies. So,
14:08
uh, in a way lives lives in is obviously
14:11
more my music and my
14:13
>> more of me.
14:15
>> Yeah.
14:15
>> Uh, cuz I can get my creativity out and
14:19
I do
14:20
>> the music I more uh I'm more passionate
14:22
about then I still love doing the sister
14:24
scene stuff because it's it's super
14:27
cool.
14:28
>> Um, but um this is maybe more my
14:32
>> Yeah, I I get it. But in Sister Scene
14:35
you sing more. You are more melodic
14:36
there. I mean you sing in the sing and
14:39
li you are more into growls and more
14:41
into yelling and stuff. Yeah. Yeah.
14:44
Yeah.
14:45
>> I do both obviously because I still love
14:48
to sing.
14:49
>> H but I I love to do the the the more
14:53
growling stuff. It I think it's more
14:55
fun. I can't explain why. Probably
14:57
because I've done the other thing in so
14:59
many many years of my life and that's
15:01
why I feel like the growling is like a
15:03
new thing and I love it. It can be that.
15:06
But I I I enjoy the growling more. Uh
15:10
but I like to do both because I I like
15:13
the the music has to have melodies and
15:15
you had to have some hooks. So yeah.
15:17
>> Yeah. Yeah. I know you're a great
15:19
singer. I mean from the first album when
15:21
I heard you, you were you you were like
15:23
perfect singer, female singer for hard
15:25
and heavy music that I like, you know,
15:28
like Yeah. Uh and uh and because of that
15:31
I wanted to ask you does it does the
15:33
growling affect your melodic singing or
15:37
no? I mean can it uh c can it uh maybe
15:40
ru ruin your voice or no?
15:43
>> No the the is the thing growl is the not
15:49
that harmful for the voice if you do it
15:51
right. Uh but the vocals I do more like
15:55
the higher vocals I do in Sister Scene,
15:57
those are much more harmful and they are
16:00
they harm the voice because if you the
16:02
the if you press your voice high up.
16:05
>> Yeah.
16:06
>> That's that's the worst.
16:08
>> Yeah.
16:08
>> Uh growling for me uh I can do it when I
16:12
I don't I barely need to do warm ups for
16:17
growling. But if I want to do the screen
16:20
or the higher stuff, I really need to
16:21
warm up. So for me, the growling is much
16:25
more easier to do and uh doesn't affect
16:28
my voice uh as much as the
16:31
>> Yeah.
16:32
>> the the high screaming kind of vocals.
16:34
And I think that you also can notice
16:36
that that a lot of the 80s bands with
16:40
male singers that sang very high
16:42
>> Yeah.
16:43
>> that had this like
16:45
>> Yeah. lot of those bands today, uh, the
16:48
singers can't do that anymore because
16:51
>> when you get older also, that's where
16:54
where where you start to lose your
16:56
range. It's the upper and then you try
16:59
to press even more and you try to press
17:01
with distortion and then you ruin your
17:03
vocal cords instead. Uh so so that kind
17:07
of singing is absolutely great and for
17:10
some it comes so easy and they can just
17:13
do it and they they don't want they
17:15
don't get hurt by it hurt by it.
17:17
>> Yeah.
17:18
>> Um but for me I mean I have I have had
17:21
surgery one time with on my vocal cords
17:24
and I don't want to go there again. Um
17:27
so I have to be careful and that's
17:29
mostly the higher things that that
17:32
affects my voice.
17:34
>> Yeah. Yeah. I've I've heard from a lot
17:36
of uh 80s singers that they had uh
17:39
surgeries on on their voice. Yesterday
17:43
yesterday yesterday I was interviewing
17:44
Steve Brown from Trickster, the band
17:47
Trickster.
17:48
>> He also he also had surgery on the
17:51
vocals. Also Tom Kefir from Cinderella
17:53
and a lot of
17:54
>> Exactly. Yeah. Yeah.
17:56
And and I think that
18:00
uh more as a I think that there more
18:03
more vocalist or singers that we know of
18:06
have had surgeries. And when I went
18:10
through the surgery, this is a long
18:11
time. It was the sisters in time. So
18:14
back long back ago, the the surgeent
18:18
told me that he had some he had singers
18:21
that come to him not yearly but you know
18:25
every third or every fifth year they
18:27
have to go through a surgery and then
18:29
they they sing a couple of years they
18:32
get there again they come and they do
18:34
surgery again.
18:34
>> Wo
18:35
>> and I didn't want to be one of those
18:38
>> singers. So, and so that's why I try to
18:41
be much more careful nowadays.
18:44
>> Yeah, that that's that's good. Uh after
18:46
after forming live scene, uh how how
18:49
many how many records do you have with
18:51
li?
18:52
>> Uh we have four records now.
18:54
>> You you had before four also with with
18:57
sisters in
18:58
>> Yeah, exactly.
18:59
>> Yeah. Uh so
19:00
>> four and four. Yeah.
19:01
>> So yeah, but you you are now uh with
19:05
both bands. I mean you're
19:07
>> Yeah.
19:09
active with both. Yeah.
19:10
>> Yeah. Exactly. I mean, obvious obviously
19:13
I'm more active with Livin because we
19:16
are we are a band that is active and we
19:19
try to release records in the cycle of 2
19:23
three years etc etc and play as much as
19:27
we can even though it's harder today
19:29
after co etc. Uh but sister in uh we we
19:35
didn't kind of didn't talk for almost 10
19:38
years and then we started to talk
19:41
uh no 10 years sorry 5 years
19:44
>> 5 years and we started to talk a little
19:46
bit in 2019 and and then like we said
19:50
shouldn't we do a festival summer 2020
19:54
just to end the band in the right way
19:57
because we felt that we didn't
20:00
as said we rust when we quit the band
20:03
and
20:03
>> we
20:04
>> so we were like we do it good we do a
20:06
full festival summer and then we say
20:08
like a real goodbye
20:11
>> and then co came so there was no 5 years
20:15
uh reunion thing
20:18
um instead we did some festivals 2022 I
20:22
think it was postponed to 2022 yes and
20:25
we played a little bit and the guys were
20:29
really really having a good time when
20:31
they were playing. So they said that
20:32
maybe we should try to do some shows
20:35
>> here and there and
20:37
>> so yeah so we do a little bit and then
20:40
they made two songs and recorded and so
20:44
we are releasing uh two songs and a
20:46
cover uh this uh fall no this spring
20:51
this spring.
20:52
>> Yeah.
20:52
>> Uh so it's it's like a small small kind
20:55
of EP.
20:56
>> Yeah. Yeah. I I I just saw that you will
20:58
be releasing some music with Yeah. which
20:59
is
21:00
>> Yeah. So, two original songs and one
21:02
cover and um So, yeah. So, we I'm doing
21:06
I'm juggling both bands.
21:08
>> That's good. That's good. I I don't I
21:10
don't I don't want to to see you guys
21:12
break up again. I want to, you know,
21:13
hear some maybe some new music and maybe
21:16
some bigger tour, you know, because I I
21:19
think people still, you know, people
21:21
still remember the band, you know.
21:24
>> I think so, too. Absolutely. I don't
21:26
know for USA, but here in Europe, they
21:29
they of course I think they remember the
21:31
band and the uh
21:33
>> Absolutely.
21:34
>> Yeah.
21:35
>> So, but we'll see because um with the
21:38
the guys and sister in they have
21:39
full-time jobs and they also have
21:41
families. So, they can't tour like we
21:43
used to. They really like um they're
21:46
really like this is how we can do it and
21:48
it's mostly uh some shows here and
21:50
there,
21:51
>> festivals, etc., weekend things, no
21:54
longer tours. Yeah. Yeah. But that's
21:56
okay. I mean, you can you can do that
22:00
and that, you know, it's not a it's not
22:02
a big deal. I think it can work out.
22:04
>> Yeah. Exactly.
22:05
>> Yeah. They we we we we try to find a way
22:07
to to make it work.
22:09
>> You know why? Because I think there
22:10
there is much bigger bands to say that
22:13
that are that are still doing it, you
22:15
know, like I don't know like where they
22:17
work their jobs and they also play like
22:21
like Anvil, you know, Anvil. They're
22:23
>> Yeah, absolutely.
22:24
>> They have day jobs and they they they
22:26
they do it, you know.
22:27
>> Uh
22:28
>> Exactly.
22:29
>> Uh how how is it going with Lift? You
22:31
you just released uh some music with
22:33
with them, some new music, right?
22:36
>> Yeah, we released a new album in August.
22:39
>> Yeah.
22:40
>> Yeah. So we and we played a lot in
22:44
Sweden this fall. So we had like 10
22:47
shows or something like that. So yeah,
22:49
we played almost every kind of every
22:52
weekend during there. Not every, but
22:54
>> it it was a kind of an intense uh fall,
22:58
a lot of lot of shows, but it is also
23:00
very very fun. So I I mean I love
23:02
playing live.
23:04
>> Uh but I really want to go out on tour
23:06
again cuz when you are on tour, you can
23:07
just focus on the music. Yeah,
23:10
>> when you play weekend shows like we have
23:12
done now, it's hard to get that you go
23:15
out and then you get back go home and
23:17
you have your normal job and then you go
23:19
out again. It's for me it gets a little
23:22
bit um confused in my head and too much.
23:26
Yeah, I really I would love to just go
23:28
on tour for a couple of weeks or a
23:30
couple of months and just focused on one
23:32
thing. That's much better, I think.
23:34
>> And when you finish it, you that's
23:36
that's it. So
23:38
to focus on some making music in the
23:40
studio or something. Yeah.
23:42
>> Yeah. Exactly.
23:43
>> Uh uh what what's your favorite format
23:46
in releasing music? Because today you
23:48
got to be you know like uh digitally
23:51
aware and stuff but uh uh I still love
23:54
the vinyls and the uh CDs and you know I
23:58
don't know what what's your what's your
24:00
point of view on that? Spotify or
24:02
something or No, I don't know.
24:04
>> Unfortunately I have Spotify. Uh I don't
24:07
it's not like I want to I would love to
24:10
just take it everything away from there.
24:13
Um but at the moment it's the easiest
24:16
thing when you have like
24:18
>> you share your step list with the people
24:21
in your band and with etc. So uh my but
24:25
my goal is to
24:27
get away from Spotify but obviously we
24:30
can't take our music from Spotify. would
24:32
be uh I know that bands are doing that
24:35
but I don't think we are can do we can
24:37
do that nor are my bands
24:39
>> and that would hurt the band too much so
24:41
I would not do that but
24:43
>> but unfortunately yes it's it's mostly
24:47
Spotify I do listen to now because it's
24:49
easy I can listen to it everywhere and I
24:52
can take it with me and I'm I'm very
24:54
much listening mostly to music when I'm
24:57
on my way somewhere so I need it I don't
25:01
do it so much when at home cuz I don't
25:02
have the time to to have music.
25:05
>> Yeah.
25:06
>> That much at home cuz I'm either working
25:09
on something or making some new music
25:12
like Yeah. things like that. So, for me
25:16
it's I need to have it in my phone.
25:18
>> Are are all the are all the sisters in
25:20
released on on vinyls also or no?
25:24
>> Yes, they are. But I think that two
25:27
albums you can't get them anymore. They
25:30
are not uh printed anymore.
25:32
>> They're sold out.
25:33
>> Yeah. So that's Yeah.
25:36
>> Maybe you guys need to re-release them,
25:38
you know, like
25:39
>> Yeah. Again, like like some like some
25:41
pack of uh of albums. Maybe some uh
25:45
>> some dig pack or something. I don't
25:46
know, CDs and vinyls, some some Yeah.
25:49
Some stuff like that. Maybe that maybe
25:52
that can boost the band more. I don't
25:54
know.
25:54
>> Uh
25:55
>> maybe maybe. Yeah.
25:56
>> Yeah. I I I have a friend uh very
25:59
interesting like a year ago he was in I
26:01
think did you play Belgium maybe uh back
26:04
in like year or two I don't know
26:07
>> uh yeah with liv
26:11
so I think I think he was in Belgium
26:13
like a year ago I don't know so so he's
26:16
like uh he he didn't know that I was a
26:18
fan of Sister Sin he didn't know the
26:19
band he saw you there
26:21
>> in in some festival and he was like oh
26:24
man you got to listen to this this is
26:25
lip syncing she had a and previous band
26:27
she was like he was like googling and he
26:29
sends me some video and some and I was
26:31
like what the [Â __Â ] you don't you don't
26:33
know this person I was like a fan back
26:35
in
26:36
>> you know 2008 and he's a friend of mine
26:38
like since the '9s you know and he was
26:40
like I didn't know you know them of
26:42
course I know them and I'm like I'm
26:44
jealous of you for seeing them now you
26:46
know live
26:47
>> and uh he's like oh man they're great
26:50
life he became a fan in the in the live
26:52
moment you know yeah yeah that's awesome
26:55
that's one
26:57
That's what I want when I play live. I
26:59
think you if you're you have to
27:01
entertain the audience. You have to be a
27:04
good live act. That's my main purpose.
27:06
When I hit that stage, I need to be an
27:08
entertainer.
27:09
>> And and I really want people to to
27:13
like the music even more when they see
27:15
us live. I don't want it to be the
27:16
opposite. I want to be like when they
27:18
see uh either of my bands live, they're
27:22
going to be like, "Oh, this is better
27:24
than on the records." That's why I
27:26
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm
27:28
glad he found out about Sister Scene and
27:30
and Liv that way, you know. Yeah. What
27:34
are your your your short-term long-term
27:36
plans with both bands? I mean, you told
27:38
me about releasing some new music and
27:40
you and how you list what's your uh this
27:44
year's uh agenda?
27:46
>> Well, this year I actually I I would
27:50
have loved to say that had so much
27:52
planned, but no, it we don't. It's It's
27:56
really hard to get at shows these days.
27:59
And
27:59
>> some some summer festivals in the
28:01
summer.
28:02
>> No, nothing unfortunately. That's the
28:05
And that's
28:06
>> I don't know. It's It's hard. None of
28:08
the bands have any uh maybe like one or
28:11
two, you know, small small in Sweden
28:15
offers uh that sometimes. Yeah. Um but
28:21
it it's hard when you are like uh we
28:25
we're like with sites in we're totally
28:27
independent at the moment. We have an um
28:30
think we have a booking agent in Europe
28:32
that he's going to what look for 2027
28:36
because I also need to separate the
28:39
band. So I want to do one band at a
28:41
time. I don't
28:43
>> Yeah,
28:43
>> it doesn't work for me to do both at the
28:45
same time. It's um probably I have some
28:48
kind of um letters that it doesn't work
28:52
for me to do both. I get totally messed
28:54
and like
28:55
>> extremely stressed.
28:56
>> Yeah.
28:57
>> So I have to do so I I'm like 2026 I do
29:00
live in 2027 I could do parts of that
29:04
sister in and then I do this. I have to
29:07
try to plan it that way to make it work.
29:10
So um so but we have a couple of shows
29:13
with lives in this fall in Sweden and uh
29:17
looking for a little bit of a tour in
29:20
Europe where lives in as well later on
29:23
also planning so club shows.
29:26
>> Yeah. Yeah.
29:27
>> Um and that's what we have at the
29:29
moment. We are still working on getting
29:33
something for the summer. Maybe some
29:34
band drops off a festival etc. and they
29:37
need a replacement and we can be the
29:40
replacement band everywhere. Um so but
29:44
unfortunately not much more with that.
29:47
Uh and sister is releasing the the songs
29:50
that I told about the EP.
29:51
>> Yeah.
29:52
>> Um and um then I guess that uh we will
29:56
start to work on new songs with Livin as
29:58
well during the year.
30:00
>> Okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you for for this
30:03

30:05

30:08

30:24
either one of the bands. You are very
30:26
