Brainpool’s rock opera finally on stage


YSTAD - Christoffer Lundquist's band Brainpool is finally getting their rock opera "Junk" on stage. The band members tell Ystads Allehanda that the opera criticizes our modern consumer society. As the band members describe it, "the society produces junk, talks crap and stinks like trash."

  Brainpool will perform the opera with the Malmö Symphony Orchestra during the Malmö Music Festival on August 19. The opera will also be released on CD on August 25.

  The opera was first mentioned in The Daily Roxette in June 2000. Since then, Christoffer has worked with both Roxette and Per Gessle. Another Brainpool member, Jens Jansson, played with Per's band on the "Mazarin" album and the tour last year.
