Their guitarist/vocalist is my guitar teacher.

That, mister, is awesome.

I love that band.
Nope, but you can assume my city is very small and has a lot of musicians.

Pssh, I agree with Kerm. Gothenburg's certainly not "very small". ;D
I'd say it has more to do with that everyone in Sweden are great musicians. Yes. Definitely. My piano teacher and my flute teacher are on MySpace, does that count? ;D
We got Johnossi's new album Mavericks. Absolutely fantastic band.
