I wrote years ago about the Swedish band Little Big Adventure on the blog. That was Magnus Lindroos moniker and the one he used to release his very fine “Saltsjö-Duvnäs” CDR EP.

Magnus had been in other bands too of course. He was in Penny Century and one called The Paper Merchants which I know nothing at all to be honest.

So here I am looking on the web if I can find any information about it.

The one thing that I find is a song called “The Lovers (In the Face Of)” which is very nice.

From what I understand it was released in 2012 by the blog Eardrums. Can I find this release?

So far no luck. I do see that there was another song released called “I Don’t Care”. Was it part of the same release? I see it in Rateyourmusic as a 2009 release. I also notice that it is a Swedish band but probably another with the same name? I see the band members listed but I don’t see Magnus Lindroos. It is quite a coincidence of two bands in Sweden, in around the same period, with the same name.

I keep searching. I see that Magnus DJed at Club King Kong on 2012. That’s a long time ago.

But that’s it. Maybe it would be good to get in touch with Magnus someday if possible and learn more about his projects. That’d be cool!

EDIT:
Our friend Jonathan Rieger has just told me that he saw the band play at Cosy Den festival in Stockholm in 2009. He bought a CD album then by the band called “A Friend of Mine”. Didn’t know that existed! The tracklist for the album is as follows: “Better”, “I Can’t Walk With You into Doom”, “I Don’t Care”, “Wedding Picture”, “East Coast”, “The Lovers”, “Death will Come”, “The Kids at  the Club” and “Bourgeoisie Beheaders”. It has a label too, one called Den Manskliga Motsvarigheten, and the catalog was MOTCD01. Probably the band’s own label.
