Legenderna is a band which plays GAIS-punk. They have played in a lot of different bands and here we get an interview with them just before the footballpremiere in 2009.  

Why did you start the band?

-We hadn´t a place to be.

Other bands you play in? Torpedo I know but some other bands?

-Sweetwater, Remedies, Grapeland, Medborgargardet, Varpmosse 19, punkcoverband Undercovers etc.

All in the band is supporting GAIS(I suppose)?

-Rhetoric question…

What do you think about records which is tribute records to different footballteams?

-The first GAIS-record was really good, and so was Typiskt Västkustskt, and Heja Grönsvart with Riot. It have been done a lot of rubbish too but there is some good not-GAIS songs like  Bubbles with Cockney Rejects for example.

You do an old Cocksparrer-song- and you do it good....have you got permission from them or?

They didn´t say no…

Why not any own songs?

-They comes on our next record…

Do you have any new material?

-That´s the thought.

What do you think about this season?

-10th place maybe and IFK Göteborg is going down to Superettan.  

Bandy and GAIS , how is that?

-Of course bandy is supporterculture with bengals and you can take a beer on the match without anyone is giving you shit.  

How have people react on the record?

-Mostly positive but some people don´t like it. .

You can often hear the record on matches, how is the feeling when you hear your record on Ullevi?  

-Honourful and fun, it´s a little bit a shame with Ullevis bad sound and I hope that Gamla Ullevi have better sound.

Why is GAIS rock n roll?

-It´s more so that the audience have always been rock n roll.  

What´s the difference if you compare with other clubs?

-The engagement, just not only stand there and look more to do anything about things.  

Football and music, does it go hand in hand?

-Is there alcohol in beer?…

What is typical with a people who support GAIS, are we really people who like to be hurt or what do you think?
