Fugazi @ Café Q, Gävle, Sweden 1992-07-08.

Ashram (Gävle) opened for Fugazi. This was their second time in Sweden (I missed the first time). The day after I went to Linköping to see them a second time, however, due to missunderstandings, that show was cancelled. I had to wait a few years to see them again. The people from Ashram went on to bands like Java, Trapdoor Fucking Exit, The Holy Ghost.

Also as seen on the last photo, the copyshop that developed my photos managed to fucked them up with a band of dots on a lot of the negatives.

In Vienna, Austria. Another one from the Separation & Plastic Pride Europeantour 1998.

Vienna has (had) a great asian vegetarian restaurant called Lecker (?) and being on tour, eating mainly "punkgryta" this was heaven. And afterwards going to an Italian Gelateria having a cup of such good sorbet it was stop two in heaven. We also met with an old friend and great photographer Kristofer Pasanen at the show. I don't remember who took this photo though...

Final Exit (Umeå) live in Vänersborg, Sweden, 1996-97?.

This was one of the first Final Exit shows outside Umeå, Refused was on tour but had a day off or something and decided to open for the mighty Propagandhi in Vänersborg. Some of us kids living in Umeå at the time decided to go and two americans living in Finland at the time rented a five seat car and drove all the way around the Bothnian Sea just to pick up 5 kids from Umeå. So three of us in the back seat and two in the trunk (!) and we left Umeå around midnight. Just after a stop at Tönnebro outside Gävle, everyone in the car had fallen asleep, including the driver and we almost crashed! But thanks to excellent driving skills I'm still here today and we eventually ended up at the show. I guess it would have been better to have more than one driver for a journey this long.

Identity (lkpg), Raped Teenagers (lkpg) and Zero Boys (USA) live @ Skylten Linköping 1991.

Raped Teenagers last show (from what I recall) and my first and only time I saw Identity, both great bands and show. Also my first encounter with Zero Boys.

Hux Flux (sthlm) and Raped Teenagers (lkpg) live @ Fatburen, Stockholm 1991.

This was the first time I saw Raped Teenagers, I think this was their second to last show, before their reunions. Hux Flux reminds me a little of NoMeansNo and features Staffan of Really Fast Records fame, I only have their split CD w/ The Sun.
