Anyone else heard much about this band?

I saw TSOOL this past week, and they were one of the support acts (Palo Alto was the other opening band - swell guys!).

Anyway, The Caesars ROCKED x 1000!!! They're also from Sweden (known as Caesars Palace over there). Very fun music. Superfast, punk/garage type rock, pretty much. Looks like their album is coming out on 04/22 on Astralwerks. Oh yeah, and their site is here:

Their bassist reminded me of Dauber from TV's 'Coach.' But that's not all. The guitarist looked like a Hugh Grant on speed! He was crazy! I was down front leaning on the stage... I thought I was gonna die! He shouts crazy things, swings his guitar in every direction, hops into the audience and bangs into people... his effects pedal/pod even had the word "KILLA" written on it. But hey, although I cheated death 83 times during their energetic set, he was one of the most entertaining musician I've seen on stage in a long time.

I've been moved away from Dayton for over a month now, so my WOXY time has dwindled down to occasional listens on the web - but I was wondering if WOXY was starting to play these guys yet, and if not, they should!!!

Just got their cd recently and have given it a few Future World plays. The first UK single "Jerk It Out" is pretty cool, even though I fear it almost has a Smashmouth vibe. Astralwerks is putting out their full album on April 22nd, so I'm sure you'll be hearing more of them here shortly.

I just heard "Jerk It Out" on a Michelob commercial tonight. A while back I read they had another song in a Smirnoff commercial, but I never saw that one.

I need to make some catchy songs for commercials! :mad:

I saw them open up for Soundtrack here in Columbus in March. They were totally rockin and adorable, I agree. I immediately recognized them as "that Smirnoff Ice laundromat band."

I went to the show with this Swedish kid from school who started talking to both bands (in Swedish) after the show, and he told us they thought Columbus was the lamest crowd they'd seen yet on their tour . . . ah, what can you do. Those crazy Swedes.

'Gonna Kick You Out' I think is the Smirnoff song. I like it better than 'Jerk'.
