Bloody Belgium

Cheers and thanks to everybody who came out to the Summer in October Fest #2 last Saturday in Nijlen, Belgium. We had a blast and really hope that you enjoyed the show! Next stop this fall will be the royal capital of Stockholm on the 20:th of November...

iViva España!

We have just purchased the plane tickets to Spain this September. We will travel around the country for 10 days and put an end to this summer. Will High Hats perform in your town this September?

17 Sep La Gramola, Orihuela
18 Sep Lili Marlene, Almeria
19 Sep Sugar Pop, Granada
21 Sep Gruta 77, Madrid
22 Sep Fiestas de San Mateo, Oviedo
23 Sep Sala Mercantil, Badajoz
24 Sep Sala Palo Palo, Marinaleda/Sevilla
25 Sep Sala Arco, Alcazar de San Juan

Unfortunately, our head guitar chief "Tobbe Med Kniven" will have to stay at home this time. Due to some problems with bosses at work (any bells ringing?) The High Hats will only bring one guitar on this tour. But we'll just have to play a bit louder, that's all. See you soon, our Spanish friends!

Thank you for your support!

Cheers everybody who came out this Thursday night when we played in Gothenburg. Even though we had some massive sound problems during the show, you did a great job keeping us alive. And what a party we had! All our love...

More new photos!

Brilliant photographer Elin Liljeblad (c) has come up with some new photos of High Hats taken earlier this year. Enjoy!

One week left...

One week from now - on Thursday 27:th of May - High Hats will enter the stage at Svanen/Jazzhuset! Early visitors will be able to lay hands on a brand new promo-cd with some songs from our upcoming album. This night we will share stage with Gothenburg quartet Madamm. See you there!

Check out the event on Facebook.

Work in progress...

Dear friends - here's a status update of what's going on right now in the studio: What will probably be the best album of 2010 is soon to be finished. At last! The High Hats met up this Sunday the 2:nd of May to record some new songs for the upcoming album. By now we've recorded about 15 songs, of which we'll put 11-13 of them on our next release. We will also release the first single during the summer. Hang in there, friends. You won't be disappointed...

New photos!

Here are some samples from our photo session with Elin Liljeblad. Enjoy...

High Hats featured in snowboard movie...

In these quite depressing days of city winter, the Swedish film producers Quite Allright Productions have created a fantastic snowboard movie, in which the end credits are accompanied by High Hats 'The End' from the Montpellier EP. Get some winter back in your life and check it out:

Photo session

We've just managed to take some new photos with photographer Elin Liljeblad. What started out as a minor disaster, with a change of location, delays and snow chaos, resulted in some nice photos which will be presented here within the following weeks. One down, 21 to go...

RIP Jay Reatard...

We recieved the sad news the other day. Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr. (May 1, 1980 – January 13, 2010), more known as Jay Reatard, has passed away way before his time. The musician from bands such as The Reatards and Lost Sounds was one of our generations most innovative and creative artist, and will be deeply missed by us in High Hats. Rest in peace.

~ All is lost, there is no hope... ~

High Hats in 2010

First of all, we would like to say thank you to all you people who showed up and supported us on our show in Gothenburg this New Years Eve. We had a blast and hope to be back as soon as our new record has been released. 2010 will be the year of the High Hats!
