"Demons" @ Lion's Lair, Denver CO, 2002-03-02


Today's scare on thatsthethingaboutthat.  Demons are scary to a lot of people.  Demons are not real though so maybe the scariest thing about this post is Mathias Carlsson's sick guitar tone blasting of the Lion's Lair stage.  "Demons" are from Sweden and came up out of the that rock scene and pre date Hellacopters by a few years.  They are mining that same rock vein.  Loud, fast, punk edged Rock N Roll.

They toured the US heavily in the early aughts. I think mostly due to the fact that American label Gearhead was putting out their albums.  I saw them with New Bomb Turks a couple times.  At this show the opened up for The Dragons along with Land Of El Caminos.  Fun show.

They were still touring behind their LP "Riot Salvation" but they do play a couple songs from the then upcoming LP "Stockholm Slump".   We get a couple choice covers of The Pagans and Misfits.

RAWK!!

"Demons" @ Bluebird Theater, Denver CO, 2002-09-17

 

Here is another band with a name fitting the Halloween season.  "Demons" also from Sweden like the Dahmers who I posted recently.  The "Demons" were most certainly an influence on that younger band since they proceeded them by a decade at least.  Both play that high energy rock n roll that Swedish bands do so well.

This show was from when they were touring the USA with New Bomb Turks in 2002.  I posted the NBT set awhile back.  I hadn't listed to these guys in bit and forgot how hard they rock.  I need to put on the vinyl that I have.  Great band.  Looks like they are still active a bit.  Need to check out their new stuff.  Enjoy.
