Former MELDRUM Singer To Play 'Extraordinary' Stockholm Shows

November 13, 2008

Former MELDRUM frontwoman Moa Holmsten will play two shows on Saturday, November 15 at Tantogården in Stockholm, Sweden. The under-18 performance will kick off at 4:00 p.m. and the over-18 show will begin at 8:00 p.m. Also scheduled to appear are MIMIKRY and ALEX FACE.

Commented Moa: "l'll be playing with some extra sets of pipes. If you're not there, you'll be missing out on something extraordinary! Can't tell you now, but some footage will be up for you transatlantic people!!"

"Bulldozer", the new video from Moa Holmsten, can be viewed below. The clip was shot at the end of February and was "produced, filmed and edited by [me] and Fredrik Magnusson," according to the singer. She adds, it "came out pretty raw and fierce."

Moa announced her departure from MELDRUM earlier in the year, explaning that she "lost the fire, the dedication and the joy. My heart was not in it anymore. A heart, the only heart, I had to be honest to or I couldn't live with myself."

Moa's former MELDRUM bandmate and group leader, guitarist Michelle Meldrum, passed away on May 21 as a result of a cystic growth on her brain that had restricted oxygen and blood flow to her brain, rendering her braindead.

Michelle had just completed writing and recording MELDRUM's soon-to-be-released third album with drummer Gene Hoglan, along with the group's latest additions, Michele Madden (vocals) and Laura Christine (bass). The surviving bandmembers plan to release the CD in tribute to their fallen bandmate.
