We have a new single out on streaming sites: “Holding Out”. The song, originally entitled “Hon Håller Ut Över Vintern” and written by Anders F Rönnblom, was featured on his 1971 album “Din Barndom Skall Aldrig Dö”. For those not mathematically inclined, that album is now 50 years old and this anniversary has been celebrated by Anders with the release of a 3-CD box-set which, apart from the original album, also includes interpretations of the entire album by artists and bands such as Lars Winnerbäck, Love Antell, Julia Frej, Östen Med Resten and many others. Men On The Border was asked in 2020 to contribute with a song and this we gladly did. The Swedish lyric was translated by Göran to impeccable, poetic English.

Friday 17th September Men On The Border are joining forces with guitarist Steven Kautzky Andersson and his superb band Cosmic Command, who will be interpreting a treasure trove of great Jimi Hendrix tunes.
MOTB will focus on both early Pink Floyd and of course Syd Barrett, Floyd’s main man in those early days. Göran will compere the show and sprinkle Hendrix stories around him. Don’t bet against Högbo and Jernvallen getting a mention!
Tickets can be purchased here:

Saturday March 27 at 9.00 pm, Men On The Border is hosting a multimedia show from what is probably Swedens cultural center: Kulturcentrum, Sandviken, with special guests Amanda Örtenhag and Steven Kautzky Andersson. The band will also be joined by international guests performing songs and hopefully telling rude stories. Memories and videos from previous fan meetings celebrating the music, lyrics and art of Syd Barrett and early Floyd.

The online meeting will start 30 minutes ahead of show time, so come early for chatting and the candlelit start – it’s Earth Hour! Every year on the last Saturday in March, million of people across the world join together in raising awareness of the issues facing our planet. We will do the same. And we will donate 50% of the evenings’ proceeds to the World Wide Fund for Nature. By participating in this event you will support WWF in wilderness preservation the reduction of human impact on the environment. Isn’t it good to be lost in the wood?
Let us take you on a psychedelic journey to Cambridge, UK and around the world. You can expect an interactive, fun meeting with live music, videos, animations, light show, unique live interviews and some very special surprises from around the world.

Our new album “Blackbirds” has now been released to streaming sites. This is an expanded version of the vinyl album we released in the summer of 2020 – in the dip between the first and second pandemic waves! And no gigs! So we’ve been looking forward to this release a lot. As usual, psychedelic rock and pop influences are very much in evidence. So, if you’re into that, you should give it a shot.
Additional tracks include new, supremely awesome versions of Arnold Layne, Lucifer Sam and especially the very weird and wonderful Bike, which includes a band composition, Ted Balding with the Weather.
The album can be found on Spotify, iTunes and YouTube. Fun for all ages (except 43)!

A couple of weeks ago Goeran and Phil did an interview with Colin Peacock at Radio New Zealand for his Labour Day programme. The show told a bit of Syd’s story, played some of his (and our) music and was broadcast on October 23, 2017.

Two new songs are out on streaming sites, as Volume 2 in our Blackbird series.
Both “Who’s Insane Now?” and “The Populist” were written by the band and are in some mysterious way connected.
We’ve used the Ian Barrett linocut image and will do so again shortly with our next release.
