The Magic Number’s Romeo Stodart is the headliner of the night, a very special Christmas concert in Sofia Kyrka in Stockholm. He’s joined on stage by his fellow local musicians Af Scherp, Sidechild, Jörgen Kjellgren, Magnus Olsson (percussion) and Stockholm Strings’n’Horns. Romeo is happy but admits too few hours of sleep resulting in some mistakes, cheerfully “repaired” by this charming […]

The context of a pop concert in a church is interesting and often causes artists to rally about religion. Jörgen is no exception. “I don’t know how familiar you are with the Bible, but there’s one important person there called Jesus” he says while introducing his song about Judas, not the betrayer, but the one being a saint today. He’s […]

It’s quite funny, our first attemp to record Sidechild happend two years ago when he was supporting The Mary Onettes at Strand. However, we forgot (!) to press the record button and so the set was only live streamed once. This time went much better and what an amazing venue to record in, Sofia Kyrka in Stockholm. Sidechild released his […]

Af Scherp is the musical alias of Anders Scherp. This recording was performed during his set at “Skymning över Vita Bergen” in one of Stockholm’s most beautiful churches, Sofiakyrkan. As described on his Facebook page “He’s mapping the landscape of intricate emotions, revealing the soul, and expertly crafting his signature sound of stunning songs with an intense fierceness and a honest discerning […]

We’re happy to present Jens Duvsjö’s Duvchi, described by himself to be “the singing conductor”. Only one new song (apart from those old ones on Myspace) flourished the web at the time of recording. This song was Turtleduvs, and it actually went all the way to the number one slot of Swedish public radio P3’s list of best songs in […]

We happen to have recorded quite many band’s first ever gig in Sweden recently. This was to be our last live recording from Debaser Slussen of 2011, however we hope to serve you a lot more before it’s turned into an eight lane highway. “Wolf Gang is Max McElligott, the son of a history professor and a violinist mother, who loves […]

This New Jersey foursome formed in 2008, releasing early stuff on Underwater Peoples and Woodsist. Domino Records released their second full length “Days” this Fall and received good reviews from major online magazines such as Pitchfork, Popmatters and Stereogum (which selected it “Album of the Week” a couple of months ago). Buy the album at iTunes. The audio recording has expired […]

Wild Beasts enter the stage to Roy Orbison’s “You Got It”, what a great intro song! They’ve been around for a decade, “borne from Kendal, built in Leeds, living in London, releasing on Domino Records“. Singer Hayden Thorpe’s voice reminds us of Antony Hegarty of Antony & the Johnsons. They put on a great set including songs from their current […]

We’re very happy to present one of Sweden’s finest bands at the moment. The title track of their current album Islands & Shores is simply impossible to describe without an excessive use of superlatives. It’s been on heavy rotation at Gimme Indie since September. We caught the band upon their second night of two sold out shows at Berns, one of Stockholm’s most beautiful […]

Hand-picked support by the headlining act Deportees, both bands from Umeå in northern Sweden. Second of two sold-out shows at Berns. Winhill/Losehill has been working four years to see the release of their debut album “Swing of Sorrow” which was released as a double LP in Feb, 2012. Winhill/Losehill at Berns in Stockholm on December 4 2011 1. Can I Meet Your Friends 2. […]
