After
releasing Be Nice in 1998, we put out Gods & Monsters.
A Rock Opera in Three Acts in 2000. It is
a story inspired by greed, jealousy and love about the super-hero Ben
and his genetic super-powers. It is a satirical fantasy about what stupidity—coupled
with power—can achieve and offers at least one reasonable solution
to this sad world's problems.

Gods & Monsters on stage
In August 2000 we staged Gods & Monsters
in Uppsala. Sold out shows and good reviews were fine rewards for all
the hard work our ensemble of close to 30 people had put into the show
over a period of many months virtually for free... And it was good fun
besides!
Right after this I left to live in Helsinki
for almost a year and our plans for the follow-up had to be postponed
a bit. |

Freedom
on CD this autumn
We are rather slow workers in this band, but now, a year and a half
into the work, we have reached the final stage of working with Freedom.
This time, Ruprecht himself is the story. After losing
(well, killing, actually) Ornella and being sterilized by Ben, Ruprecht
is once again set to weild his power as head of Greedpeace. But his
conscience troubles him, so does his addiction to lattés.
He is lost and needs to regain his footing on his path through life.
Whatever... The point being that Ruprecht sets out on a quest to rebuild
his morgaged soul and his cold heart, no less. It is this that is the
core of Ruprecht's monologue FREEDOM.
