BACKYARD BABIES Frontman's HOMELAND Project To Make Its Live Debut At PEACE & LOVE Festival

April 8, 2010

HOMELAND, the new solo project of BACKYARD BABIES guitarist/vocalist Nicke Borg, will make its live debut at this year's Peace & Love festival, set to take place place June 28 - July 3 in Borlänge, Sweden.

Commented Borg: "Role models [such] as Johnny Cash, Steve Earle and SOCIAL DISTORTION has inspired me to write music I always longed for to record and perform live.

"My vision is that HOMELAND will be a living project where genres are mixed depending on the contribution of musicians, guests or friends."

Nitrox.tv has uploaded professionally filmed video footage (see below) of BACKYARD BABIES' February 13, 2010 performance at Backstage Halle in Munich, Germany.

In a recent interview with Classic Rock magazine, BACKYARD BABIES guitarist Dregen was asked about the band's recent announcement that it was going on an "indefinite hiatus" and whether the group's next batch of touring could be its last. "Not at all," Dregen replied. "We've been touring, recording and writing for 20 years, the last 10 at a very intense level. It's time for a well-deserved break before we begin writing the next album. . . We're talking months. For the BACKYARD BABIES, two weeks is a long time. If the hiatus lasted for a year, that would be an absolute maximum. During that time we won't be booking any shows, just trying to find a new spark."

To celebrate two decades together, BACKYARD BABIES embarked on the "Them XX Tour" in January/February. In addition, they released a deluxe 120-page book titled "Them XX" containing private photos, three CDs and a DVD-documentary that conveys the 20 years of the BACKYARD BABIES story.

The band's latest, self-titled album topped the chart in the group's home country in its first week of release. The CD also entered the Finnish album chart at No. 31.

Released in Europe on August 18, 2008 via Billion Dollar Babies/Spinefarm, "Backyard Babies" was recorded during 90 sweaty days and nights at Polar and Big Island Sound studios in Stockholm with producer Jacob Hellner (RAMMSTEIN, APOCALYPTICA).
