Before arriving to the venue she managed to get a cab driver who didn’t know where Debaser was located (which happens very rarely since this is Stockholm’s most famous “rock” club). Anyway, she made it just in time to finish soundcheck before the doors were opened and we got to hear a fantastic set from an artist “showcasing her unique […]
Rosi Golan at Debaser Slussen
Wakey! Wakey! at Debaser Slussen
We are more than happy to have perpetuated the band’s first ever concert in Sweden. The Monday audience seemed thrilled over the talkative and facetious Mr Grubbs on stage. He really is an entertaining guy, spendning more than two minutes prior to the first song talking about Beyonce. “How come you guys aren’t wearing helloween costumes…?”. “You’re all dressed up as f**king […]
Promise And The Monster at Kägelbanan
Billie Lindahl started out as Promise And The Monster in 2007 when she released her debut album “Transparent Knives” on Imperial Recordings (José González, Melpo Mene). On stage at Kägelbanan this evening is also Lisa Isaksson from Lisa o Piu, performing on flute, glasses and backing vocals.

Loney Dear at Kägelbanan
Emil Svanängen’s Loney Dear drew full attention to Mosebacke this last Sunday in October. His voice is amazing and the crowd watched the show in an attentively manner, letting the band conquer the venue. Or as Emil said after the second song “You are humbly silent”. Sold out? Probably. One of our mic stands was heavily exposed to the crowd’s movement […]
Yuck at Debaser Slussen
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 […]
The Whendays at Strand
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 at Strand
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 […]
Young Galaxy at Strand
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 […]
Handsome Furs at Lilla Hotellbaren
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 […]
Architecture In Helsinki at Strand
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 […]
