Gimme Indie

Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor formed the duo in 2006, following the dissolution of the Sheffield-based band Lonely Hearts. We found out about the band upon the release of their current album Paradise on Moshi Moshi Records and aired the song “Two Cousins” for the first time in September.

Former Heed/Yukon AK singer/instrumentalist Jennie Abrahamson has been releasing solo stuff since 2007 and we catch her upon the tour of her third album, The Sound of Your Beating Heart. This night at Debaser she opens up as support for British folk/twee/pop group Slow Club. Jennie Abrahamson at Debaser Slussen in Stockholm on December 2 2011 Photo: Fredrik Karlsson

Her own Facebook fan page presentation will do well here. “Erika M. Anderson grew up in the dive bars and rotten graveyards of South Dakota. She is a direct descendent of Erik Blood-Axe, the ruthless Viking warrior. All the boys ask her why she is so tough. She is 6 feet tall. She loves the jukebox.”. EMA’s current album “Past Life Martyred Saints” received overwhelming […]

This is Fruit Bats‘ first ever show in Stockholm. They’ve been around for more than ten years in different constellations, always based around band leader Eric D. Johnson though. Originally hailing from Chicago the band signed with Sub Pop in 2002. Eric relocated to Seattle two years later taking a break from the band to join fellow label mates Vetiver […]

Nanna Øland Fabricius performs in Stockholm for the first time as Oh Land. However, seven years ago she studied with the Royal Swedish Ballet and actually lived in the city for three years. As if that wasn’t enough to convince the audience about her “local experience” she spoke almost fluently Swedish during the full gig (I can’t even say my name […]

We were instantly captivated by the band’s amazing sound in April when a friend played Wolves (third song into the set) to us. When we first found out (via Last.FM) that they were to play Stockholm, a live stream seemed natural. Enjoy half an hour of a “catchy gothic twist on electro pop” from one of Parlophone’s latest signings. Buy […]

Santa Barbara’s Gardens & Villa formed as late as in 2008. Their synth-driven indie pop gained attention from Secretly Canadian who released their Oregon-recorded, self-titled, debut this summer. We catch them upon their twenty-second date of a total of almost thirty nights building up their extensive European tour. Chris Lynch flute skills add another dimension to the sound, rarely seen […]

This Wednesday show was originally scheduled for the day before but lucky us, and lucky YOU, it was moved to this night where we also recorded Masquer and Gardens & Villa. Givers became known to us after bumping into their massive hit “Up Up Up” about a year ago. Judging by their very first gig on Swedish soil they surely […]

Stockholm-based synth pop duo Masquer consists of Kicki Halmos (vocal/synth/programming) and Pelle Lundqvist (bass/guitar). Their amazing debut album “Cover My Face As The Animals Cry” was released two months ago by Rough Trade / G Records. We’ve aired both Happiness and Stark Naked pretty frequently since the Summer. Enjoy half an hour of instense uplifting darkness, including a fabulous cover […]

“Love is eternal, don’t forget that”. We’re very happy to be able to serve you Jonathan Johansson (again). He was part of our very first live stream back in January 2010 when we recorded Sweden’s independent music awards, Manifestgalan at Nalen, Stockholm. Enjoy the first of two sold out shows in Stockholm from “an artist who has not yet recorded […]
