Swedish Estate

Here we go....
Saw a link on the stationwagonforums, and thought i´d check this site out too...

My Wagon is a little too old, i think, but i think you might accept me as a member anyhow.
From Sweden with a custom built EstateWagon -72 under constant modifications, I´ll come with a little more info later, See ya!

Welcome, it is always good to hear from our brethren across the pond. Love the old clamshell, Catalina?

Welcome! And that would be one big, bad, black Buick.

I see a driveway full of wagons! You are in the right place, lol Nice Clam Shell! there are couple of guys with them on here.

Nice Buick, welcome to the forum!

Thanks! I have a couple of wagons that dont fit in here, so i didn´t bother to mention them. Maybe you appreciate my rear window sticker?

Haha, I saw a guy on an X-Files episode wearing a shirt with that same skeleton on it.

Nice wagon, it sure is a beast.

Why does that skeleton ring a bell with me,great looking big black buick and cool little trailer too.
How many times have you forgot you were towing that little trailer behind that giant wagon?
Welcome to the group by the way!

This pic is from the hotrod club´s christmas party.. Generally i dont use that much alcohol. I compete with my dog, and almost all competitions are at saturdays or sundays.. Cant be hungover when you work with my dog, she is a monster

Yea,I was just joking around.I have 2 american eskimo's,what breed is yours and what kind of
competition?

The shirt was exactly like sprockets avatar.

o offense taken I think it´s kind of unconvenient not to be able to get out and have a beer or twelve, but as for now, the dog hobby is more interesting.. I Have a german shepherd, we compete in obedience, weightpull, and search. We are trying to qualify to be a rescue team.. Heres a pic with her and her Cane Corso friends

welcome

At least someone is paying attention

For those who are not aware, low low is correct. Social D is a great band that never caught on in mainstream US music. They have had some semi-hits nationally, but in Southern California, they have booked out venues for 5-6 days straight (even recently).

One of my faveorite bands since I discovered them in early 1982 on a compilation LP my buddy brought back from a trip to LA in the summer of 1981. This album still holds up today and was the first studio recordings of the band. I've personally seen them perform live 7 or 8 times with my first show around 1988. They were formed in Orange County, CA (Fullerton) in the very 1978 and are part of the first wave punk explosion in the USA.

They currently have 7 sfull tlengh LPs and are in the studio for the 8th to be released tis year.

The front man Mike Ness, has strong country influences in his writing and has gotten the band the occasional sub classification of cow-punk.

For an angst filled 17 year old, they appealed heavily to me with their raw sound on early material which was far different than the over produced studio crap radio was shoving down our throats in the early 80s.

Anyhoo, I could go on and on and on about it and the budding punk scene in South Florida at the time.

But I'll leave you with a couple of favorite tracks that should appeal to a varied range of personalities on this board.




First Song I ever heard by the band. The version on Hell Comes to your house is the best one IMHO.


Don't take me for Granted


The 'big' hit


Solid cover of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire (Dig the nasally Ness vocals...his trademark for me).


Smoking rendition of Kitty Well's classic written by Jimmy Work

Well there's 35 more years of material out there, enjoy.

Haha, thats why i tagged Sprocket

Mike Ness is a kind of R&R god to me.. I have the graphics of the selftitled album tatooed on my arm, all of my left arm have SD connections actually.. Seen them two times, once in germany and once in sweden, I´ll get their next show in europe too..

Good to see our wagon infection is contagious around the world! Welcome...
