I've spent a lot of time lately going on about Swedish bands and I'm not about to stop now. I've blogged about I'm From Barcelona in the past I think. We were lucky enough to finally get to see them live last Sunday at the Thekla in Bristol. I was excited all day knowing that I was going to a see 13 happy Swedes playin an upbeat gig on a boat. What a night, what a show, what a band. The quality of the songs and energy of every member, combined with showers of tickertape and balloons ensured that the atmosphere was sensational. Below are live versions of 'Treehouse' and 'We're From Barcelona'.
After the gig, the band put on a short DJ set with loads of Electro and some strange dancing. I believe this may have been my first real life experience of Jumpen (originating from Sweden and involving flailing limbs, Jumpen is to Electro what Skanking is to Ska). The video below shows jumpen at its best, as demonstrated by lego men!
On a completely different note, look out for this guy over the next few months. He's been getting loads of online attention. Below is Andy Mckee - Drifting
