Bombus - A Safe Passage

Last Saturday I spent the evening with some friends, the plan where a dinner and a visit at Debaser Slussen. The evening entertainment where Bombus, Spiders and Gordon Fights.

The evening began with a really nice dinner at Rival with a bunch of friends who wanted to celebrate this rocker. (Yes, I have become a year older.) With a good meal in the stomach and a few beers, we went down to Slussen to inhale the sweet tones of great music. First one was the Stockholm band Fights Gordon, who has previously made ​​a visit here on Tune Of The Day. They also had their release party for their debut album, but I did not see any records, had actually wanted purchase a copy, sounded really good live, although you could note that there where a gang of non experienced live musicians, they were incredibly talented but slightly rigid live. A fun little parenthesis was that one of the guitarists got nutspin on stage, and looked almost crazy on the end when he was headbanging and throwing the guitar around his neck.

Band number two on stage where Spiders, with a female pipe to the quite scaled down garage rock, performed their set really well, nice swing in the songs, had wished that her voice was clearer, disappeared at times into the porridge.

The clock was approaching midnight and now it was time for Bombus to get up on stage and they did with a bang, shit, this was heavy. Bombus känndes directly to the most experienced of the three bands that lirade and they lit the audience directly, enough for all bands in the evening had a good response, but you could feel the air that this was what everyone was waiting for. 'll Say it short, really fucking good.

A little fun was that I ran into lots of acquaintances, also bumped in to Tom Swiesciak and Jonte Royal, cool guys!

Tom who works as a freelance journalist, wrote a review for the magazine Gaff, read it here (in Swedish so use a translator)

Today, you get some pictures from the gig, would you to see more then check out Tune Of The Day on Facebook, where the there will be a great deal of pictures.

M.I.A. - Born Free

 

Saturday, also Salary weekend as it so nicely put when for the coincidence is money in the account. Not that it wont take long before it is empty again.

Yesterday was Josh Groban on "Globen" a concert that I did not see very much of, what I heard it was pretty sleepy so in other words I missed probably nothing.

Today it's full speed ahead here in Stockholm, especially when we're talking concerts.

At Gyllene Cirkeln plays Trettioåriga Kriget where they will perform both the new album and the debut album from 1974 in its entirety. Very exciting.

At Debaser, where the club Pussy A Go-Go has a gathering where bands such as "Bombus", "Spiders" and "Gordon Fights" performs, there I was going to go tonight. Report on this will be after the weekend.

WWDIS organizes a musical evening on the Strand with the legend, ghostrider and one half of Suicide, the sunglasses adorned Martin Rev. He is also involved in today's tune!

Todays tune "Born Free" was written and produced by M.I.A. and co-produced by Switch. The song opens with a frantic rhythm built around a sample from 1977's "Ghost Rider" by the seminal synthpunk band Suicide. M.I.A., which stands for Missing In Action and is a play on her name, is an English singer-songwriter, rapper, record producer, painter and music video director of Sri Lankan Tamil descent. Her compositions combine elements of hip-hop, electronica, dance, alternative and world music.

In 2011, NME ranked the video number thirteen on the list of the 100 Top Greatest Music Videos ever made.

Gordon Fights - Time Machine

 

Blues-driven Swedish rock band Gordon Fights visit us with their debut single "Time Machine". This is a wonderful rock 'n roll frenzy, here has the brush been dipped into Lynyrd Skynyrd's paint bucket. Splashing their art with MC5 and Humble Pie, it's really good expressed and swings awesome, with a clear love for the 70 century, Southern rock. To get the true feeling in the rythms have they let their mustaches lie in a bath of U.S. imported beers.

Gordon Fights consist of:

Viktor Persson
Rasmus Söderling
Anders Carlsson
Patrik Engström
Tobias Alpadie

Their debut "Gordon Fights" has been just been reviewed in WeRock by Fredrik Sandberg actually got a good review score and in my eyes / ears, a perfect purchase. I hope of course, that this album will be released on Vinyl! On WeRock you will also find the month harvest of reviews, including albums with bands like "Chaos Divine", "Thalamus","Portrait", "Craft" and "Pain" and several.

On 24th September will the club "Pussy a Go Go" have its premiere at Debaser Slussen, it will be record release with Gordon Fights and of course live music. In addition, guests this evening of no less than Bombus and Spiders, ensure that you go there.

Todays tune "Time Machine" is the first single for what's to come. Their debut album
will be released in late September.

Gösta Berlings Saga - 354

 

Yes then it was Friday again, a weekend with lots of music and one birthday party, as one family member having her birthday today, it is the smallest one that has lost her first tooth and turns 5 years. This is of course will be celebrated with both the cake and pink balloons, but we are waiting with that to Sunday when all her friends arrives, then we will have a full house of kids.

Music wise this weekend, oh thank you, there are lots of bands to see. If you are into some Laidback Jazzy style, why not take the boat to Gröna Lund and watch Bo Kaspers Orkester, or a mini festival in Sollentuna with Electric Boys and some others, or if you are into more popish stuff, why not visit the Indie Pop festival Popaganda at Eriksdalsbadet here in Stockholm that is going on for two days, I will be working there tomorrow, so more info about that on Sunday. We also have Dolly Parton on the Globe tomorrow. But last but not least, it's Saturday Wage Goes Pay Weekend(Lönelördag Goes Lönehelg), What We Do Is Secret & Fritz's Corner arrange a music event at the Strand, including Kurt Vile, Den Sista Viljan, Göst Berlings Saga and Bombus, unfortunately I will miss this, dastardly!

Today I intend to "kill two birds with one stone" and pick a nice song from What We Do Is Secret event at the Strand and Children liked fairy tales, so then Gösta Berlings Saga suits in perfectly:)

Gösta Berlings Saga was formed in 2004 by Alexander Skepp (Drums), David Lundberg (Fender Rhodes), Gabriel Hermansson (Bass) and Mathias Danielsson (Guitars).

The latest album, entitled “Glue Works” has more of a give and take approach to recording than their earlier works. Instrumentally much more captivating, with all kinds of unforgettable sounds the songs expands the bands musical universe even further. Compositionally the songs have become both more straight forward and more multifaceted when it’s called for.  Mattias Olsson was the producer and mix the whole album.

Todays tune "354" is taken from GBS latest record "Glue Works" It's a nice tune from this well-oiled quartet.

Gösta Berlings Saga - 354 - Sound only!



Here is a live clip, recently filmed at Trägården, Stockholm, Sweden
