9th of May 2012 - the date when we had our first concert as The Bandettes đ»đ¶đ This picture is our first picture as a band (with our first logotype!), trying our best to make it look natural to sit in a flowerbed. đč 8 years together playing scandicana with a touch of sunshine đđ„ /The Bandettes
Celebration time! Today's the 100th birthday of womens right to vote in Sweden! We'd like to share this awesome playlist of independent and creative Swedish female songwriters - have a listen! đ¶

đ„ Today is the day! đ„
Our new single "Try a little bit harder" is finally out, big thanks to HYMN for releasing it with us on this very special day - international women's day - as a reminder that we've still got work to do before we reach an equal society.
This song is dedicated to everyone that has to try a little bit harder to be seen as an equal. Raging, but hopeful - the fire in the song is fueled by the anger of feeling diminished, and it will keep on burning together with all of you that are working towards a better future
Feel like you want to speed things up, make things happen? Join/follow/support one of the organizations we've highlighted this week: RÀttviseförmedlingen, Transformering.se, Popkollo, Musiker Mot Rasism, Förbundet Unga Rörelsehindrade, or find your own way!
"There will be new conditions, it's no longer a question of when.
This one is not your decision, the times are a-changing again!"
We hope you like it as much as we do! <3

"Try a little bit harder"
Today is the 5th and final day of our countdown for our single "Try a little bit harder" and here's a shoutout to Förbundet Unga Rörelsehindrade. They make an incredible work in improving the rights for kids and adolescents with disabilities! Their members actually work for their own rights. Check out their homepage as well: http://ungarorelsehindrade.se/
So, tomorrow is a big day (in several respects!). Keep eyes and ears open!

Day 4 of our 5-day countdown/shoutout for our single "Try a little bit harder", we want to tell the world about Musiker Mot Rasism - an organisation that are encouraging people to speak up against racism. Check them out, they are doing a ton of great stuff! /The Bandettes
"Try a little..."
As our 5-day countdown/shoutout for our single "Try a little bit harder" continues, we have chosen to dedicate this day to Popkollo, an organisation who has been working for equality in music since 2003. With summer camps and workshops in pop, rock, hiphop, jazz, metal and even more, they are paving the way for a more including musical future! http://www.popkollo.se/ /The Bandettes
"Try a..."
We move on with our 5-day countdown/shoutout for our single "Try a little bit harder", dedicating it to great organisations working for equality!
Number 4: Transformering.se, who puts trans and gender identity in focus, helping young trans people, related to young transgender people and professionals who meet young transgender people in their work. HereÂŽs a very informative and useful dictionary: http://www.transformering.se/vad-ar-trans/ordlista /The Bandettes
Dear fans and friends!
Soon it's time for our single "Try a little bit harder" to see the light of day :)
We would like to dedicate it to all organisations working for equality in a 5-day countdown/shoutout! Number 5: RÀttviseförmedlingen, spreading the word about competent people who challenge norms in different contexts. Their first task was a shoutout to DJ:s, take a look at this awesome list! https://rattviseformedlingen.se/lista/djs/ /The Bandettes

Dear fans and friends!
Have you ever felt diminished? Like someone is making you feel smaller, or less competent? Have you ever felt you needed to try just a little bit harder than everyone else, to be seen as an equal?
We are planning something special for our upcoming single "Try a little bit harder", and we want to hear YOUR stories! If you feel like sharing with us, please send an email to info@thebandettes.com, and weÂŽll take it from there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY THE JOKER! Today it's a year since we released our baby! We'll celebrate by listening to it all day. :)
Especially the last song of the album, since it's the first of may - the international worker's day. Our most political and most bombastic song so far!
"It's a shame that you skipped all your history classes - 'cause the song that you sing ain't no song for the masses."
Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/track/6BUeKPs2oIqf2ft9a4fAMu

"She may appear like a fool, but she knows just how to bend the rules."
The fourth song on our EP - the Joker - became the title song of the EP, and the visual theme for our album. Have you noticed the beutiful cover, looking like a deck of cards? Look close and see if you can find the banjos, and the dinosaurs!
Both the cover and the joker is handdrawn by the wonderful Sofia Chanfreau! And, best of all, you can get the designs as tote bags and t-shirts here: http://www.thebandettes.com/merch.

Hey! We had a great day at IRISfestivalen last summer, together with a lot of awesome bands. Check out this video for a nice feeling of summer âïžđ¶ /The Bandettes
"Now I can't see the future, my path is concealed - now there's deep forest where there used to be fields. Before I met you I knew where I was bound, but now I can't tell if I'm lost or found."
Sometimes it feels like one needs a map to figure out how to find your way in life. Is the current path the right way, or did you actually lose yourself along the way? That's what the third song of our EP is about - Lost or Found. For your ears only: https://open.spotify.com/track/7LB5sWZqnHrFhMfxvZPUUv
/The Bandettes
(We found a beautiful way in Greifswald! Great memories!)
"In all that we are doing, we are aiming for the sun - so we have to keep on moving, we are always on the run."
"Down the road", the second song on our EP "The Joker", is one of all those songs about roads, this one about the road to happiness. Sometimes it's easy to get lost on this road, hurrying towards the destination, always thinking there's something missing. It's easy to forget that we need to take the time to stop and rest sometimes, and appreciate the things we see and the people we meet along the way - the road is the destination in itself. Have a great weekend y'all!

"You can counquer the world, or follow the crowd. Just listen to your heart, and you'll make your mama proud!"
Can't believe it's almost a year since we released "The Joker"!
We'll celebrating by highlighting the songs one by one! First up: "One day you'll be a man", a song about the love of a family member, and standing by their side in good times, and in hard times, represented with a <3 on the cover.
