The guitar is back!

Well, as you may not know, our guitar ace Triss got his guitar stolen right after the video recording to Monaco, McGordon and Me.
Triss mourned his lost beauty for about two months until last week, when he recieved a strange telephone call. It was a nice sounding lady from the almighty police force in Hultsfred calling. They had finally caught the thief and found the lost treasure of his.

- Thank you nice sounding lady from the police force in Hultsfred. Triss thanked her and hung up with a wide smile on his god beloved face.

And as all other Happy Hippo stories, this one end up...Yes, happy as missisippi farmer!

The Camera is back!

Do you remember this?




It was in october or november 2008.

Now, the 22nd of August 2009, the camera is finally found! And it was found in the same flat where it went missing. Does that mean almost a year without cleaning?
Anyway, it was Hoffa that found it. Unfortunately he found it in a place where no competitor in the "Find the camera competition" had guessed it would be found.

There will be no V.I.P experience for anyone but at least the competition have come to an end.

Here is a reconstruction of how it got found:

Written in 2006.

Hey there folks!
Rehearsal today, the last one in a couple of weeks actually. We´re all moving to different cities to spend the autumn but we just got ourselves a new rehearsal space in Orebro, so we will be back in town every now and then...

Just found a text about the idea behind The Happy Hippo Family Collective that later on went to become The Happy Hippo Family Band. It is quite fun reading because the ideas behind it feels so fuzzy and naive, yet still so true. Written in 2006, now presented officially for the first time, Here it is:

We love to dance. We love pop. We love to sing along with a bottle in our right hand. Those three things made us start this band. Well, actually, this is not a band..., It is more of a musical collective. A group of close friends, where a friend brings another friend, and so on. Few of us are skilled as musicians, fewer have good command of an instrument, but what is the point? Popmusic is all about feelings. We all have feelings. We feel when something is swinging, we feel when three simple words make a good line and we feel when something totally sucks. We use those feelings to express ourselves in a way that we want to. The thought of popmusic is a though of happiness, and the only assignment this band will try to accomplish is to make people feel that happiness. To make people dance and sing along. To meet. To talk and discuss pop, bands, songs, lyrics and sexual intercourse, maybe over a cold beer or a cup of coffée. This is our way to hold a rehearsal, and as long as we have fun and enjoy the life in a band, we will continue to rehearse this way.
