About / BiographyIn 2002 songwriter/guitarist Bjorn Eriksson (ex-Zita Swoon, Admiral Freebee, The Partchesz, Les Blauw ) surrounded himself with his best friends to make music and that's when Maxon Blewitt was born.This new founded family recorded their first record 'Maxon Blewitt' in 2004 and released their second wayward and quirky album 'When the moon winks' in 2006. For their latest record the band collaborated with producer Peter Obbels ( Flip Kowlier ) and recorded in his vintage studio somewhere on a lonely mountain in the desolate Belgian Ardennes. Eriksson dug deep to where memories and dreams melt, turning back the clock 30 years, returned to the abstract and insecure world of a five year old boy, hiding under his bed an exotic naked woman displaying her beauty on an overexposed polaroid. This mysterious woman still lives in the mind of the singer and now he's paying tribute to her with 'June '81'. 'June '81' ; the only information written on the back of this old polaroid. The warmth of the music was carefully captured and it became a sweet, dreamy record, an atmosphere that sucks you in ... a polaroid from June '81. |

Pretty LadyHot, naked and the lips are sweet, sweet enough to make a heart skip beats,met a pretty lady, forgot about the other tonight Slap-happy on a tight-rope walk, don't let your girls step into the dark, gonna need a pretty lady, forget about the other tonight Keeping track in a little red book of all the pretty little souls I took, gonna need a pretty lady, forget about the other tonight Drive around in an old Volvo, this song's playing on the radio, gonna need a pretty lady, forget about the other tonight I know I'm a sinnerman but I'm just doing all the best I can, gonna need a pretty lady, forget about the other tonight I can see what the end will be, gonna love until she loves me and gonna need a pretty lady, forget about the other tonight Gonna start looking for a lady, forget about the other tonight |
MexicaliI've seen you before in the middle of a tiny little daydream in MexicaliOn top of the world with nothing but a tiny little skirt grinding on me Close to the fire and a little bit of sugar on our tongues, we can't go wrong Stars and stripes and pink dots, foolishness and dancing on our bare feet Kingdom of the Sungod , we keep each other satisfied Relax and take it easy |

Fuzzy LogicMy summersun has begunReflecting in your eyes Empty skies Storms' overblown in our home Bells tied to our hearts, ain't so smart The thought of waking up keeps me asleep Mean thousand teeth can't defeat our tiny little fusion 15 rosy thoughts and solid knots |
A picture from '81Don't know how I got hereDon't know my way out I got sucked into the rapids of an ancient evil force Waking up in a bad dream Merrily merrily row Sing a song in a dead key They must have put something in my milk Milk ain't black and white Santa Claus is a sodomite Lovesick blues ain't no news I wanna dance to the drop-out-boogie I can play a boogie-woogie in a good old-timey style Mischief making and breaking away from The Lord , Jesus and some guardian angel And the kid I was on a picture from '81 It's all just copybook-phrases Parralellopipidimsums Just a popular poon-tang on my Tin-Pan-Alley bamboo Everything K-OK Better red than blue Bang that head full of dread and start dancing to the drop-out-boogie I can play a boogie-woogie in a good old-timey style Mischief making and breaking away from the Lord, Jesus and some guardian angel And the kid I was on a picture from '81 |

Rules and RegulationsThere's a certain amount of truth which I 'd rather do withoutBut me I can't stand no lies so why don't we try without them You're beautiful that is true, I'm pretty sure that I love you Stay baby stay baby stay, shine like a diamond day Your lips they are pink, what's that on his cheek? Rules and regulations Baby lets go outside, you're even more pretty in the light I can cope with a little lie, but if you ain't got the skill just quit it ! You're beautiful that is true, I'm pretty sure that I love you Stay baby stay baby stay, shine like a diamond day Your lips they are pink, what's that on his cheek? Rules and regulations |
So easyThunderclouds, think out loudIt's so easy with you It hurts again, never ends It's that moment I cherish You know it's the closest I can get to you Couldn't wait Trick of fate It's so easy with you Everything is bound to change It's that moment I know for sure it's the closest I can get to you It's so easy with you |

St Maries' InfirmaryBail me out of hell, hide me in your haciendaWhen the first leaves fell ' round the end of September The high spirits' gone, with no trace Danced backwards into black space All of my stuff in a cardboard-box Lost the keys and lost the locks Devils and demons shuffle along Plenty of reasons to do me wrong St Maries' Infirmary Drew a pistol made of plasticine Can you spare some change for the pinball machine? Play a little tune on an old banjo Got disqualified in a talent-show Fall it was and fall it did You thought that I was still a kid You got the message and you took a plane And picked me up in the pouring rain St Maries' Infirmary |
The Way to goThe way to go is the way to when you don't knowwhen somethings trying to keep you going down so low and in the mean time a twinkling star dazzles the men of your war and no one is left to do you no harm And if it comes to show a piece of your tormented soul just show her what it takes to keep her coming all over here and love you A small ray of light guiding you trough this dark night and no one left to do you no harm Dare to say a word that'll make her stay And try to cut the shit about your body don't fit your soul and in the mean time Space open wide sacred by love at first sight And there is no one left to do you no harm |

Thanks but no thanks for the musicCame to a conclusion early in the morningKeep my eye on the donut, not upon the hole Minimal stuff to do except for in the nighttime Minimal contribution to society Daddy just let me be Thanks but no thanks for the music you gave Just let me be and set me free You may think you can make me feel guilty But please first try to explain the meaning of that concept Refuse to choose, it got no use cause they are busy with fuzzin and cussing 'bout a pinpointed destiny Daddy just let me be Thanks but no thanks for the music you gave Just let me be and set me free |
