”WITH A ROCK´N´ROLL BAND YOU CAN´T SIT ON YOUR ASS AND WAIT FOR A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN. THE ONLY WAY IS TO HIT THE ROAD, AND STAY THERE FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN”, STATES CAPTAIN POON. AT THE END OF 2008, WHEN THE TOUR WAS OVER, BLOODLIGHTS COULD CROSS OUT A LARGE NUMBER OF HEADLINER SHOWS AND FESTIVALS. PLUS A BIG AMOUNT OF GIGS AND TOURS WITH ACTS LIKE MONSTER MAGNET, THE HELLACOPTERS, MILLENCOLLIN AND GERMAN STADIUM ACT, DIE TOTEN HOSEN. BETWEEN ALL THE TOURING ACTIVITIES THEIR BRAND NEW ALBUM ”SIMPLE PLEASURES” CAME TOGETHER. IT WAS RECORDED IN FOUR DIFFERENT STUDIOS, IN GERMANY, OSLO AND STOCKHOLM, AND IT´S PRODUCED BY THE CAPTAIN HIMSELF: ”I REALLY ENJOYED PRODUCING THIS ALBUM, ´CAUSE NOW WE´VE GROWN TOGETHER AS A BAND, AND IT´S EASY TO MAKE EVERYONE PUSH IN THE SAME DIRECTION. THE CHEMISTRY AND MUSICIANSHIP IN BLOODLIGHTS IS REALLY GOOD, AND THIS MAKES THE PRODUCER JOB BOTH FUN AND EASY.” WITH THEIR FORTHCOMING ALBUM, CAPTAIN POON, HOWIE B, RON ELLY AND NICO VON SCÄFER ARE READY FOR THEIR SECOND CHAPTER. ”SIMPLE PLEASURES” IS A STRAIGHT TO THE POINT ROCK´N´ROLL RECORD, WITH 35 MINUTES OF GOOD RIFFS, GREAT HOOKS AND CATCHY MELODIES. EARLY CRITICS HAVE MENTIONED ”SIMPLE PLEASURES” TO BE A SURE SHOT FOR THOSE WHO GET THEIR ROCKS OFF BY BANDS LIKE SEX PISTOLS, MOTORHEAD, THIN LIZZY AND AC/DC. THIS MAY NOT BE TOO FAR AWAY FROM THE TRUTH, SHOULD WE BELIVE WHAT DIET THESE GUYS GREW UP ON.
THE TITLE IS METAPHOR FOR WHAT BLOODLIGHTS´S MUSIC IS ALL ABOUT, YEP THAT´S RIGHT, ”SIMPLE PLEASURES”!
