Club and gig schedule
In On Stage - our Scandinavian live guide.

The backbone of two of the biggest real indie acts in Sweden, Yvonne and Strip Music, disappeared and were nowhere to be found. Now Henric de la Cour is back with his new dark electronic project. And this time he's on his own, well… almost. Peter Marchione had an interesting chat with Henric.
To the Spotlight


Fredrik "Schlatta" Svensson from Release sat down with Vince Clarke and had a nice chat for this Spotlight. He has also visited several Erasure concerts 2011 and has been busy with his cameras. After the Yazoo reunion, Erasure are back with their 14th studio album: "Tomorrow's World", produced by Frankmusik.
To the Spotlight


Release's Alex Veronac speaks to Ohgr and Skinny Puppy frontman Nivek Ogre about the latest Ohgr album "Undeveloped", self manufactured samples, Mark Walk, the earliest Ohgr recordings and Skinny Puppy. 2011 marks the releases of both Ohgr's "Undeveloped" (May) and Skinny Puppy's "HanDover" (October). An Ohgr "Developed" album and European club tour might also be in the pipeline, we learn.
