The Second Wave

Spring 2012 the Swedish band La Fleur Fatale embarked on a journey to and through California. During two intense weeks they played with legendary psych musicians and met people who was part of making the 60’s into what it later became both musically and spiritually. And in the meantime connecting the past with the present. What is the difference between then and now? Is the Anonymous movement now what 60’s anti war movement was back then?  May 3rd the documentary was released, for free, on YouTube. And May 3rd the band also released a new single, “How Long Is Too Long”, written by Duncan Faure of Bay City Rollers and Rabbitt who they met when filming. “They are really one of my favorite bands now along with Beatles plus a few others.” Duncan says.

During Easter they also recorded yet another single together with Ebbot Lundberg (The Soundtrack Of Our Lives) that will be released after the summer.

The documentary can be found right HERE (link to YouYube).

Our New Price Match Guarantee!

We now have a price match guarantee program for our customized guitar picks! We want to make sure that you get the best price possible when ordering your very own custom guitar picks with us! To ensure that we will now price match any custom pick competitor, plus give you an extra 10% off that price if you find someone who can deliver custom picks to your door for a better price.  There are a few restrictions to be aware of:

1) Pricing can only be compared to a competitor if they carry an identical pick material

2) Pricing comparison must be to the same quantity of custom picks

3) A lot of our competitors have hidden set-up fees.  We charge Zero set-up fees. If a competitor does charge set-up fees this must be included in the total price

4) Shipping is free on our site.  So if a competitor charges shipping to deliver your custom picks, that also must be included into the total price. Rush shipping methods do not apply to our price match guarantee.

5) Pricing on competitors sites must be regular public published pricing.  We can not match other competitor temporary sales and promo discounts.
