G2 on Swedish TV

G2 performing on Nyhetsmorgon, TV4 in SwedenSwedish grassers G2 performed Monday on Nyhetsmorgon (The Morning Show), the highest rated morning television program in Sweden. The show airs from Stockholm on Swedish national televsion, TV4.

They played two songs from their debut CD, Where The Tall Grass Grows, and sat for an interview segment. The songs they chose were What Would I Say and Where The Tall Grass Grows.

Banjo player Jens Koch tells us that the publicity people with their label, Cosmos Records, arranged for them to perfom on TV4, a major coup for a young band.

“This was a great experience for us! Loads of fun! It’s a big thing to get to play on this show. Some bands would do anything to get the gig.”

Video clips of their guest spots can be found on the TV4 web site. Unfortunately, the TV4 video player does not seem to like Macs, though some Mac users can play them with the latest Flip4Mac plugin.
