Consciousness and dirty passion....

On Valentine's Day 2008, Kate and After joined the mission, the worldwide never ending movement for exploring, understanding, creating and ever recreating, together with you, the perfect music experience.

The immortal power of a pop song, the sing-along word in the chorus that would cut through just any level of surrounding sound, the set-in-stone interplay between bass line, beat and chords that so mysteriously gets burnt into your brain the very first time you hear it. And at the same time the obviousness of "always better live than recorded", for the instrumental solos, for the sheer freedom of expression of everyone involved, including you. The feeling of hands-must-clap, because... hands must clap.

Kate and After are working towards this goal by building on their experiences from past instances of the same overall project, like The Milestone Corporation, Combat Rock, and just Jonas and Magnus doing-the-troubadours together a couple of summers. They do it by focusing their efforts, previously tentatively sprinkled all across the entire spectrum of pop/rock, on something you could call, if you wish to call it something, energetic pop and indie rock. They do it by being human, by being bold and beautiful and talented and of superior wisdom, just like you. They do it by consciously uncovering that dirty passion that lurks in us all.

Valentine's Day 2008 was in many ways a sad day. A day of hesitant nostalgia and heartache. But sadness also holds a hope. A longing for ulterior companionship, for the Man, for the Woman. For improvisation. For the sweet promise and tense realization of what may, what will, what must come After.
