BACKYARD BABIES: New Audio Interview With NICKE BORG Posted Online

January 13, 2010

Italy's Musica Metal recently conducted an interview with vocalist/guitarist Nicke Borg of Swedish sleaze rockers BACKYARD BABIES. The chat can now be streamed at this location.

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."

BACKYARD BABIES were the featured musical guests on the December 8, 2009 edition of the "Nyhetsmorgon" program on Sweden's TV4. The band performed two songs, "Degenerated" and "Abandon", and took part in an interview.

To celebrate two decades together, BACKYARD BABIES will embark on the "Them XX Tour" in January/February. In addition, they will release 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.

BACKYARD BABIES supported MÖTLEY CRÜE on select dates in Europe last summer.

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).
