Symphony Orchestra In Kiss Related Problems

Sweden's two biggest newspapers, Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet, have both published a story about the symphony orchestra of Malmö who has complained about work related problems after having performed a concert with the Kiss tribute band Dressed To Thrill. The published story looks like this:

SYMPHONY ORHCESTRA MUSICIANS COULDN'T STAND THE SOUNDS OF KISS

Some of the members almost started to cry. Others called in sick. Several of the members of The Symphony Orchestera Of Malmö wanted the project to be cancelled. This happened when the symphony orchestra did some shows with the cover band Dressed To Thrill.
The concerts were a big success for the audience but it became a work related problem. It was supposed to be a meeting between two musical cultures.
 - It was very loud and above all a difficult sound environment, says Lars Wallén, chairman of the union.
