Motvind

Motvind (i.e. "Headwind" or "Contrary wind") is the band that has sold more than 200 000 discs, that did tour around in the country more than 10 years on more than 3000 sessions, that refused command from the left nor the right, that actually was the only band of the Göteborg music arena that managed to identify itself with the other boys and girls in the suburbia around the Kingdom Sweden... and also did have opinions on the bloody way the music movement moved forward as a colossus with feet of clay.

Parken (Linköping) May 3, 1980, performed 270 km northeast of Göteborg

Text/Music: Mr Salmins

The recording isn't good as Mr Johannes Leyman's "Fem Fina" on "Känn dig blåst!" but it shows how Mr Salmins excites young drunk crowds in an unique way.
