Ola : 大変だったから、もうコンセプトアルバムはやめた方がいいんじゃない? Herman (Olaに向かって) :そう? Ola : そうだよ。(笑) Jerry : (笑)そう言われてみると、このタイトルはちょっと後ろ向きですね。 でも僕個人的には、またコンセプトアルバムをやってみたい気がします。 まあ、それがA.C.Tじゃなくても・・・ Thomas(Jerryの言葉をさえぎって): じゃ、これは「First Epic」だよな?(皆、爆笑) Jerry : (笑)そうそう、それか「The Very First Epic」、本当の始まり、だよね。 もしくは「The Very Very First Epic」、ほんっとうの始まり、かあ。
ということは、SFみたいなものはやらないということなんですか、Herman? Herman : そう、そうです。ありがとうございます。わかってくれましたね! SFは、置いといて、ってことですよ(笑)。 Ola (真面目な顔をして):いや、実は次のアルバムは、スペースシャトルと その乗組員の話にするつもりなんです。それで、アルバムも2枚組にして・・・ (皆、しばし沈黙。その後、大爆笑)。 いやー、受けてよかったー! Herman : じゃ、次のアルバムはスタートレックみたいなコンセプトアルバム、行ってみよう(笑)。
The band performed their debut headline show in England last night and what a night it was - one that people will long talk about for sure!
Thanks to everyone who attended and packed out the Soundhouse and especially the Colchester Landlords, Simon, Keith and co. for making it happen.
I won't give out the set list so as not to spoil the surprises for those attending the shows this weekend, but the set includes some tracks previously not performed live....
Some additional news, Last Epic is now available via the on line store while once again, we have sold out the repressing of Imaginary Friends. We have also now nearly sold out of the Imaginary Friends t-shirt early demos CD and promotional cd, so you had better be quick if you'd like these.
As you may know, the band were voted as the best live band at the 2003 Sweden Rock Festival beating off 50 other bands who included Yes, Jethro Tull, Y&T, Anthrax, Uriah Heep, Motorhead, Sepultura, Queensryche, Whitesnake and Twisted Sister.
The festival do not normally have bands back two years in a row, but they have stated they are interested, so how would you like to see A.C.T move up the bill and maybe onto the main stage?

We are delighted to announce that the final concert of the 2003 Last Epic tour will take place in the band's home town of Malmo, Sweden on Saturday November 29th at the famous Kulturbolaget known better as Malmo's KB.
With over 40 shows this year, this will be a very special night for the band and the fans, as it will be filmed in full as the main live section for the forthcoming DVD, so this is your chance to be a part of A.C.T history and is a must see show!
It would be wonderful to have a capacity crowd for this show to end what has been such a triumphant year for the band, so tickets are at the special low price of 100.00sek! ( £7.50 / 11.00 Euros )
It is with deep regret that we must announce that the band are unable to perform on November 2nd, 2003 at the De Boerderij, Zoetermeer, Holland.
The band and management are as disappointed as we know you will be and we would like to apologise to you for having to cancel the appearance.
We naturally hope many of you were able to see the band in Belgium a few weeks ago or could perhaps join the band in Sweden for the final two concerts of 2003, which will be very special.
Once again, we apologise to you and we hope to see you soon.
I have just been advised that tickets for the final Last Epic tour date in Malmo, on Saturday November 29th - Go on sale tomorrow, Friday October 24th.
For those outside of Sweden that wish to buy tickets for the band's final 'Last Epic' show of 2003, you can now do so via credit card at our secure on line store!

Following the band's hugely successful show in Stockholm last Friday, the band are now looking forward to the final show of the tour in their home town of Malmo.
However, it is with regret that the band have had to take the decision to postpone the recording of the DVD to a later date.
As many of you may know, Herman has been battling against a serious throat problem for a lot of the tour and the recent shows have increased the problem to the extent that the band feel it would perhaps not be a perfect live recording and puts additional stress on Herman at this time.
The band also feel strongly about not wanting to release a sub standard product or to do a 'make over' in a studio at a later date, so the decision has regretfully been taken.
We are sure everyone will understand and we all of course wish Herman a full and quick recovery and we will now make plans for a DVD recording in 2004.
The show will go ahead and the band will give their normal 110% to make the evening very special, so we hope you will join us for this end of tour celebration.
Tickets can now be obtained from the following two sites;
"Today's Report" features strong guitar driven prog with good vocals. The music is not prog metal but definitely prog with energy and crunch. The musicianship and production are very good. A.C.T. is from Sweden.
And the rest of the band naturally joins in to create more great music à la A.C.T (warmth, humour, melody and skills must be considered part of this trademark). There are more QUEEN references (as well as so many other things - the obvious ELO (one of SAHLIN's favourite bands), FRANK ZAPPA, and what not).
その他のニュースです。 Peterが、新しいキーボード、MS2000を買いました。それから、キーボード用の ペダルボードも買いましたよ。リハーサルの時には、是非(Rushの)Geddy Lee 先生を呼んで、教えてもらわなきゃ。Jerryも、新しいキーボード、こちらは MS2000Bを買いました。Olaはと言えば、ギターを新調しました。Paul Reed Smith Customです。これが自分のものになって、とっても嬉しいです。
