Ringön Swapmeet is our very own in-house, somewhat recurring; locally focused marketplace! The idea is simple: we choose a theme or common thread, then invite folks around Ringön and let them set up shop/tables/whatever inside the venue – and then ya’ll come by and buy/eye/trade/admire it all. Bars and kitchen will be open, so you’ll be able to make great decisions while walking around the vendors.
First one out was our MOTOR-edition and the word success is an understatement. This time we shine a light on something that is equally part of the fabric of Ringön: music, studios, rehearsal-spaces, clubs and stages. Yes, Ringön has got it all and as always, we’ve invited a couple of staples from that community around here and on Saturday April 13th those who can will be bringing out their hidden treasures for you to buy. You’ll probably find another pedal you didn’t even know you needed; the perfect modular synth to sit next to the one you still don’t use or maybe just another guitar or amp, because why not?
After a few years with a pandemic we are finally back. 20 Years of Progress 2004-2024 is official and tickets are now out.
Welcome to Gothenburg on the 16th of November.
More info on bands etc in the FB-event right here.
On Friday, April 26th, we welcome the birth of a new club here at Monument. It’s called OK, or Organiserat Kaos, whichever you prefer. It’s sort of like an inhouse club, but also not – cause technically Kiffe booked the bands and Carl just hijacked it and now calls it Organiserat Kaos cause he wanted to have a club called OK so he could steal the old OKEJ-logo.
As you can tell, it’s a super clear and distinct theme and organisation behind this, but don’t worry about that – the main focus for you is the same as for the club: THE BANDS! And boy do we have some absolutely killer bands in store for you.
First out is the powerhouse known as SODAKILL from Stockholm! They play bubbly and raw sodapunk, which makes perfect sense when you listen to their debut EP “Warning” that they released in March this year. Basically one of the best new bands out there and you’re gonna love it when they destroy the stage on the 26th.

Headlining this fine evening is a group of norwegian punks named RISE ABOVE. They’re known for their chaotic live performances and genre-blending music. What began with the 2016 EP “Sounds of Liberation”, followed by singles “Gold” and “Up” in 2017, was pushed to the extreme with the release of their anticipated 2022 debut album “Times of Clarity”.
A perfect way to bring the Kaos to Klubb Organiserat Kaos.
Alastor and Orsak:Oslo kick things off proper on Friday April 19th, and as a nice little bonus, every LIVE AT RINGÖN-show has a fixed low price of 165kr. See you at Monument and LIVE AT RINGÖN!
———
ALASTOR Alastor is heavy doom rock for the wicked and depraved. Drenched in heavy, distorted darkness and steeped in occult horror that will make your skin crawl and ears cry sweet tears of blood.
ORSAK:OSLO Orsak:Oslo is one of those hidden gems. Always grinding, always perfecting the imperfections. The four-piece has been lurking around the underground for years, steadily paving its way with a mellow and laidback, yet intense sound.
Monument is proud to present a double releaseparty to end all double release parties, as the working class heroes of Horndal and Henrik Palm embark on the main stage Friday, May 10th. Horndal will have “Head Hammer Man” (the album AND book) out, while Henrik Palms third offering, also releasing in april, is called “Nerd Icon”. Two acts on their third albums, destroying one stage. Attendance is mandatory!
Horndal Horndal, det aviga metalbandet från den döda bruksorten Horndal är tillbaka. Efter den hyllade och vida omskrivna skivan ”Lake Drinker” kommer nu nästa kapitel.
”Head Hammer Man” är den explosiva men bortglömda historien om Alrik Andersson, en ung fackföreningsledare som stod i händelsernas centrum när den våldsamma Storstrejken kulminerade i Horndal 1909. Upproren ledde till vräkningar av arbetarfamiljer, svält, inkallande av militär med dragna gevär och landet var nära ett inbördeskrig. Alrik räddade arbetarnas liv och jobb, men förlorade sitt eget. Han svartlistades och tvingades i landsflykt. True story. Snabbt insåg bandet att historien inte skulle få plats på 10 låtar, så i samband med skivinspelningarna skrevs en 400 sidor lång bok med samma namn.
Musikaliskt är det ett lika ambitiöst projekt som bokskrivandet och samtliga hörn av skivsamlingen har nu fått influera kompositionerna. Från Pugh Rogefeldt och Janne Loffe Carlsson till Autopsy, Wipers till Judas Priest, Hawkwind till Mercyful Fate, Don Cherry till Voivod. Ett riff lånat från Sparks här, en solo lånat från Jake E Lee där. Blåsarrangemang jämte heroiska stämgitarrer.
Historien må ha glömt Alrik Andersson, men Horndal kommer aldrig att göra det. Albumet och boken ”Head Hammer Man” släpps 5 april 2024. Horndal är: Pontus Levahn, Henrik Levahn, Fredrik Boëthius Fjärem och Daniel Ekeroth.
Henrik Palm ”Henrik Palm släpper i april sin tredje skiva ”Nerd Icon”. Musik för de ljuvligt missanpassade entusiasterna som föredrar dissonans och moll framför dur och Allsång på Skansen-indie. Musik som gjord för att stirra in i sin vägg fylld med Venom- och Brian Eno-posters. Eller med hörlurar med en iskall ensamöl på en brun pub. Eller också live nu i maj med kompisarna i Horndal.”
Ringön Swapmeet is our very own in-house, somewhat recurring; locally focused marketplace!
The idea is simple: we choose a theme or common thread, then invite folks around Ringön and let them set up shop/tables/whatever inside the venue – and then ya’ll come by and buy/eye/trade/admire it all. Bars and kitchen will be stacked, so you’ll be able to make great decisions while walking around the vendors.
First one out is the MOTOR EDITION! Yes, Ringön has got a lot of engines revvin and most of them are either on two wheels, old wheels or custom wheels! There’s a couple of staples from that community around here and on Saturday March 16th those who can will be bringing out their hidden treasures for you to buy. You’ll probably find a gastank you didn’t even know you needed; a perfect helmet to sit next to the helmet you already own or maybe a gearbox that only fits a car you currently don’t have. The options are limitless!
So come on down and make some great deals on Saturday, March 16th, 12.00-16.00. No entrance fee!
(Not based on Ringön but wanna sell some stuff? Send us an email at info@monument031.com and let’s talk)
There’s been a lot of rumbling these past months; folks are whispering around the globe: “country is back.” “Country is the next big thing”. “Beyonce is country now”.
We’re not surprised. This here club was brought back from the dead the exact same day as these rumours started floating around. You’re welcome.
The lineup speaks for itself and you are very much welcome to join us as we officially return on SATURDAY, APRIL 27 at our new home Monument. Ringön will never be the same – and Honky Tonk is forever.
Amerikanska Left To Die tar vidare arvet efter ikoniska metal-bandet Death med original medlemmarna Terry Butler (Obituary) och Rick Rozz som tillsammans med Matt Harvey (Gruesome, Exhumed) och Gus Rios (Gruesome) tar vara på Deaths historia. Ikoniska alster som “Leprosy” och “Scream Bloody Gore” framförs i bästa Death-tappning och med stor respekt för legendarerna, som de en gång var del utav.
Förra året markerade 30års-kalas för den amerikanska death metal-plutonen Incantation. Bandet är en av de stora pionjärerna inom genren och en av New Yorks frontnamn inom death metal-scen tillsammans med Suffocation, Mortician och Immolation.
