My god you're downloading! 2006-11-07

Folks! A lot of things are gonna happen with the billies, Im just waiting to be able to tell you all about it. But I'd better keep my mouth shut for another couple of weeks. We got so much downloads it's killing our economy! 338481 downloads this far! The last bill was on 500 euro for one month! I should be worried, but I'm not. I'm proud! But we found another cheaper place where you can dowload the albums for free. /billie the vision and the dancers downloads for free: http://www.last.fm/label/Love+Will+Pay+the+Bills/playlists

At this moment we're rehersing and recording new songs. We don't know when the next album will be released but hang on folks and may your friends be with you! Vi älskar er så mycket! Puss/Billie The Vision & The Dancers

If you´re ready, we are almost ready, 1, 2 an 2006-09-19

We have spent 11 days in a little house way out in the forest recording the five first songs on the next, third, Billie the Vision album. We caught som kind of flu and we were all sick during the recordings. But it sounds great this far. The election in sweden did not go very well, we’re now having a right wing coalition pointing our way straight to hell, not the least Goran Hagglund! So billie the vision is now needed more than ever. And YOU are. We are happy that you guys download our song as much as you do, but, and there’s a but, we have to pay about 700 euros a year for that. And we really are the poorest band in sweden probably. We are discussing to form a club, a billie the vision club. A club where you´ll get exclusive material once a month, or maybe once every second week or so. To become a member will cost about 20-30 euros. Billie must do something to afford this project. We haven’t been able to get one euro each yet! We have had 220.000 downloads as we speak, that´s about 1000 downloads a day. We are very proud of that. If you think a billie club is a good idea, let us know folks! Thank you so much for this summer, it’s been a pleasure meeting you all on the festivals, on the guest book and on MSN. I love you! Be prepared for the next billie album and don’t forget that “du är värdefull, att du är viktig här och nu, att du är älskad för din egen skull för ingen annan är som du” in english that means that YOU are in fact a billie. See you out there and take care or else I will take care of you! Lars/billie the vision and the dancers

Message to the Indiekids! 2006-08-15

Nu har vi kommit hem från en fantastiskt helg! Tack Norrköping, Emmaboda och Tigeröra! Responsen för det vi gör har varit helt sjukt underbar. En massa intryck som kommer ta lång tid att smälta. Vi har haft över dubbelt så många besökare på vår hemsida, efter Emmaboda, mot vad vi brukar ha. Helt underbart. Till alla som beställt saker på vår hemsida så kan jag meddela att våra skivor har tagit slut, men nya kommer inom kort. Vi skickar skivor, t-shirts och pins så fort vi kan. Håll ut, de kommer! Nu börjar vi planera hösten, så ni som vill boka oss hör av er så fort som möjligt så vi får möjlighet att ordna allt i god tid. Tack för allt underbara människor! /billie the vision and the dancers

See you all in jail! /Billie the Vision and the Dancers

Italy, Germany and Arvika! 2006-05-13

It’s been too long since we updated the news so here we go. We’ve been planning the tour in Italy and Germany for quite a long time now and some shows are now established, see the “shows” section. The Arvika festival is now also booked, great! We now also have a distributor in Italy, Audioglobe, and they’ll work hard to sell our records in Italy. Thanks to hotstuff Per and Agata and Rosella! The Italian tour will take place during the Hultsfred festival, so no Hultsfred for us. We’ve got many questions about Hultsfred and the ONE who’s in charge of the Scandinavian acts was not interested, so unfortunately no Hultsfred this year. It’s strange, because Rock Party wrote on their homepage that our record was one of the most frequent played record in their office, and we were always up high on their wish list over bands people wanted to come to Festival. Maybe Rock Party is not a democratic organization? We are still a very poor band, so please order our cd’s and merch! Soon we will update the news section again ! /Billie the Vision and the Dancers

Howdy cowgirls! In sweden we´re planning some shows in Stockholm, Växjö, Norrköping, Linköping, Vimmerby, Malmö and Gävle at the moment. We also have a tour in Italy coming up soon, and maybe Germany! A lot of questions about tickets to the Örebro show, we don´t know where to buy them yet, but we´re working on it. Now we´ve had 60.000 downloads from our site in four months! "Nightmares", "I´m Pablo" and "a man from Argentina" seem to be the most popular songs at the moment. We´ve also got many questions about the chords to the songs, unfortunately we haven´t been able to work that out yet, but someday we will. Have patience. We´re looking for a show at the 8th of april somewhere in the middle of sweden, let´s know if you got some interesting offers! That´s all for now, over and out! hugs&kisses /billie the vision and the dancers p.s Fia & Monos baby is still the cutest baby in the hole world. d.s p.s 2 Please also visit us at my space: http://www.myspace.com/billiethevisionandthedancers
