A new pop club has just opened the doors. It is January 31. Tonight someone will be at the first concert in life and become introduced to a whole new world. Someone less fortunate will ruin a potential love and then go home and cry on the pillow. The small cafe scene at Mejeriet in Lund is usually a place for intimate and cozy concerts. Strip Squad make their third gig ever and introduces themselves by shouting If you don't take me right away you might as well fuck off to the audience. The band plays around through the concert and ends the show with Cucumber while throwing carrots to the audience. Singers Björn and Malena have charmed many more than those who stood at the front. Jenny has debuted live as a bassist.
Seven months later, I discover a new song on Strip Squad's website. It is called Meat of Lamb and I can not stop laughing. The song title is almost as fun as the album cover. It is hard to take a band seriously when they release their self-founded record on a label named Fuck Music/The Mobile Element (Mobila Elementet).
When Strip Squad left the scene after their gig at Mejeriet, Björn started an mp3 player and encouraged the audience to listen to the lyrics. A moment of confusion and a wounded ego later, the DJ responded by playing his sound system at the highest level. The stone heart never listened to Down and Out and Away. If he did, Mark and Christopher would be allowed to finish singing their song.
