Female Host: Did you threaten them? Eric: Yes... No we where hanging out side Systembolaget (a liquor store) and it was probably because we looked damn hard. Male Host: Did you stood there and played or what? Eric: No we where sitting and.. drinking, just when they had opened where we lying there, drinking wine and having a good time. Male Host: But okej, so they just saw you and said: "HIM WE WILL HAVE". Eric: Yeah so we gave them a demo and later they stayed in touch. So thats a tip to everyone, just lay outside systembolaget and have a demo in your pocket so... Female Host: Yeah when i was in västergötlan there was a guy with his demo in his pocket and he said: " i have actually made a record" so maybe you always should bring your demo if someone turns up.
