Dregen from Sweden's Backyard Babies joins Mitch on Episode 164 of One On One With Mitch Lafon. They discuss the band's stellar new album Four By Four, KISS, the return of The Hellacopters, Michale Monroe, more cowbell, new solo music, his book, Supershit 666, the vibrant music scene in Sweden and much more.
On being 'bored' with the band: "I couldn't really tell anymore if the gig we did was great or if it totally sucked. I was a machine just doing the same thing every night."
The Hellacopters reunion: "Me and Nicke have been talking about putting the original Hellacopters together. We think it's a waste not to do it because I still think the original Hellacopters can still deliver that sound."
On KISS: "Between '73 and '78, they were the best band in the world... I'd rather follow the KISS soap opera than the Kardashians, but it's almost the same. I can't see KISS without Ace Frehley."
Backyard Babies recently released their new single, "Th1rt3en Or Nothing”, via their new deal with Gain/Sony Music. The band’s new album, Four By Four, was released on August 28th.
Check out the official video for "Th1rt3en Or Nothing" below, and stay tuned for more album details.
