Synth-kids! A new comic book featuring à;GRUMH…
My old friend Tomas Z Westberg a.k.a. TΔ25 has drawn several comic books telling the story of his teen years in 80’s Sweden and his love for EBM and general electronic music including à;GRUMH… whom he became later manager of the Swedish fan club and webmaster.
His books are now regrouped in one big edition translated in English and available for pre-order. It’s a great immersion in the life of young kids in that society four decades ago.
Check it out!

Syntet minimal EBM
Check out Syntet, a new minimal EBM project by Tomas Z Westberg a.k.a. TΔ25 sAMOT (also known as the manager of the à;GRUMH… Swedish fan club in the late 1980’s).
à;GRUMH… featured in a series of comic books
I received today a series of six comic book zines by Tomas Z Westberg a.k.a. TΔ25 sAMOT (also known as the manager of the à;GRUMH… Swedish fan club in the late 1980’s).
Tomas is a talented visual artist. These books are a sort of autobiography from his young years and his discovery of Electronic Body Music known in Sweden at the beginnings as “Synth”. The books mention and/or show bands as Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Skinny Puppy, Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk and of course à;GRUMH…!
The books also give you a list of tracks to listen to as you read each volume. 😊👍🏼
It also depicts his relationships with his friends, the conflicts with his parents about the way he dressed or the music he listens to and thus, gives us a particular insight in the Swedish society of the late eighties. It’s human and interesting and also fun to read.
The books, which are all bilingual (English/Swedish), can be ordered from shop.tzw.se
Congratulations to Tomas for a job well done!! 👍🏼👏🏼
Edit 1: the bilingual zines are now sold out and replaced with a shiny new comic book that collects all the comics (in Swedish).
Edit 2 : the a shiny new comic book and it’s equally shiny follow-up has now been translated into English and collected in the book Synth-kids!

Theee Rebearth Corporation v.3.47 concert acclaimed
On May 6th, 2005, J3 sEUQCAJ and T-Circle member JCS47 nAEJ eHPOTSIRHC have performed as “Theee Rebearh Corporation v.3.47” in Paris. The set was 45 minutes long, based on former n.3.3./à;GRUMH… tracks, as well as extracts from Polar Praxis (S3’s solo project) 1982 release “Gory Oscillation” and original recordings made by S3, J3 and JCS47 for the event. Mixes on stage, image projections, J3’s uncontrollable shakes and screaming & litanies, as well as JCS47’s amazing ritual chimpanzeeic movements, made this event absolutely unique and acclaimed by both the hypnotized audience, press and music world moguls. The performance was videotaped and will be released as a special DVD thru our shop.
