So, saw Trad Gras (and Endless Boogie) Friday night, both opening for Ryley Walker, good night all around. To answer tylerw's question just above, Endless Boogie did two songs...but one was very long. So there's your answer!
Anyway, seeing Trad Gras was kinda like seeing faUSt earlier this summer -- it may be down to one last original member, but it was a way of capturing the spirit and keeping it going, as Reine Fiske said briefly towards the end of the set, and Sigge's presence is its own continuity at this point. Would have been great if I could have seen them in earlier years of the reunion but I was awfully glad to see this, the performances were strong and I was very much in the mood. Glad to have caught them.

have been listening to the new record traden a lot last month or so. it's excellent! "tamburan".... mmm. getting excited to see them later this week!

man, they were really great last night. everyone locked into this beautiful, fluid sound. loved it.
thought their current drummer hanna was particularly good. her heavy, lumbering playing driving things forward. perfectly complimented the rest of the band.

finally got the träden record months after seeing them with endless boogie, and just here to say how good it is.

I didn't know this band, but they are playing Marfa Myths in April and after listening to Träden I am v. excited to see them play live!

The old speakers of Träd, Gräs och Stenar is up for sale on Swedish eBay. Hand built and just simply beautiful. A work of art! pic.twitter.com/2KJCZwVZLs— Beta Max (@rhizome_in_) June 4, 2022

The band's oral history book is out now in English, so I made it and them the subject of this week's Substack newsletter.

thank you for pointing this out; book looks great. hopefully my family also reads burning ambulance and are getting some good ideas for christmas presents

this revive has made me realize that I can buy the LP-only tracks from that huge live box digitally via Bandcamp, hell yeah
I think there are even another two tracks that are digital-only? https://tradgrasochstenar.bandcamp.com/album/tr-d-gr-s-och-stenar

Hoping my book gets here soon.
On another note, does anyone know anything about the label Arcangelo? Amazon shows listings for three upcoming releases from International Harvester on the label - Remains 1, Remains 2 and Remains 3. Looks like a CD reissue of the Remains box set, but weird that it's broken into three discs @ $32 each.

Ordered my book the other day, very happy for that!

Discogs says Arcangelo is a Japanese label specializing in prog reissues and archival stuff, so this could be a legit license (and could explain the price).

Thanks, just curious. I've been hoping that would get a CD reissue at some point.

Me, too, since there was never any digital version at all — the files I downloaded have (very mild) vinyl crackle because they come from someone ripping their (presumably brand-new at the time) LPs.

Recorded over their two day residency, 9.9.16 spans the pastoral, the brooding, and the free-form progg moments of Trad Gras in one oozing zip folder. Their seemingly endless, bucolic bass lines and humble DIY approach create an ever expanding atmosphere of good will - these are surely the nicest guys in rock? The opening 'track' is a 25 minute wigged out version of Harvester's 'När Lingonen Mognar', and 'Stina' is a never before recorded folk-rock track written by the band's close friend Mats G Bengtsson. Spread the word my friends. Reine Fiske / guitar, vocalsSigge Krantz / bass, vocalsTom Watts / drumsJakob Sjöholm / guitar, vocalTracklisting:1. När Lingonen Mognar - 24:182. Kaffe med Tårta - 12:523. Down in the Basement - 11:07 4. Stina - 7:125. Sommarlåten - 13:54 6. Silverffloden - 11:39Recorded live at Cafe OTO on the 9th and 10th of September, 2016 by Simon Holliday and Shaun Crook.
