This was the band’s second gig in Sweden after playing Way Out West in Gothenburg in August. The expectations seemed not too big judging by the idle crowd. This was also the topic of the online conversation during our live stream. After all, pleasing hardcore Yuck fans online in more than 30 countries seemed more fun than playing in front […]

We hope WAV files act like wines do, this recording was published three months after the gig and should taste pretty good by now. If you’re into “the classic Warp synths of the 90s and a new romantic album filler” this bottle will suit you well. The Whendays at Strand in Stockholm on October 15 2011 Photo: Wai Lin Tse

CMG is the new project from Calle Malmgren, former guitarist and singer in Stockholm based band The Je Ne Sais Quoi. Local promotors Fritz’s Corner and Svenska Musikklubben describes the sound as “the legacy of Hall & Oates, Prince and Talking Heads is as tangible as the presence of our time”. This may in fact be the first ever gig! CMG […]

Debuting on the Arts & Crafts label in 2007, ex-Stars touring guitarist Stephen Ramsay and girlfriend Catherine McCandless went on to sign their new band Young Galaxy to Paper Bag Records. Their album “Invisible Republic” received a Polaris Music Prize nomination in 2009. They did Iceland Airwaves before hitting Strand‘s stage in Stockholm this Saturday. The audience got to see fifty […]

Free shows in hotel bars, probably the best invention of them all. Local stalwart promotor Fritz’s Corner brought us this excellent Montreal act on a dark Autumn midweek date in October. We did our first UStream broadcast as an experiment and it turned out pretty well (sorry for the bad camera angle though). The live stream was promoted on Facebook […]

Due to an unfortunate patching error of the venue’s soundboard we got a really bad mix. It has been restored in a way that causes the recording to sound like mono and a bit more dull as it should be. We’re sorry for that. “It’s very exciting to be back here, it’s our first time in six years” says the band’s […]

As a member of both Frida Hyvönen and Ane Brun’s live band (plus having her own band, Paintbox), at the same time acting as a solo artist, it’s natural to see her open tonight’s Ane Brun show at the magnificent venue of Cirkus. With the cello as her only company on stage she enthralls the audience. Make yourself comfortable for […]

A sold out show at Cirkus in Stockholm is probably the ultimate proof of popularity. Not that we doubted the potential of Ane before, but her current album and the ongoing tour is a gigantic success for one of today’s most talked about Scandinavian artists. We’re very proud to be able to promote her to a wider audience and this […]

Labrador’s finest, and the first pop band ever to play the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm, hit the stage as headlining act of the night in a small but crowded neighbourhood theatre called Tellus. Thanks to some nice Amnesty people we all got to see an amazing line-up this evening. The band did their first gig in a year and seemed […]

Unfortunately the concert was recorded without a master soundboard feed, using only microphones. Stockholm based husband and wife combo The Forest & The Trees released their debut single in May 2010 via Ill Fit Recordings. We’ve been airing their song “To The Forest (I Need Some Peace)” over 400 times and it’s just an awesome promising band who deserves to […]
