Scandinavian Adult Pleasure at the Scala,
London 28 March 2001
The headlining band of the evening, the Soundtrack of our Lives, enter the stage in front of a highly expectant audience, out of which I’d say at least 50% are Swedish. Before the band come on, a small but devoted crowd are excitedly jumping around in front of the stage, awaiting Ebbot, their prophet. And he doesn’t disappoint them. As they come onstage and burst into ‘Still ageing’ off the new album ‘Behind the Music’, Ebbot reaches out his hands to the people in front of him, his children, his disciples, singing “I’m still ageing so won’t you please come home”. And they will. They’ll go wherever he asks them to. So
when he asks them all to sit down during 21st Century Ripoff, they obey straight away. Apart from the “cool” journalists and media people at the back who stay standing, sucking their fags and drinking their Red Stripe. Not even the band’s flagship, as Ebbot puts it, ‘Firmanent Vacation’ can make them realise that what they’re witnessing is one of the best bands in the world today. The rest of us need no further convincing. All the new songs go down well, and when Soundtrack leave the stage to the roars of more from the crowd, I can only pity the people who have shrugged at one of the best live bands they will ever see. In five years time, or however long it will take for the rest of the world to realise the brilliance of the Soundtrack of our Lives, they will all claim to have been there when they considered this band to be nothing.
