Deportees - Islands and Shores

A week ago did Deportees visited Stockholm at Berns, a sold out house generated one more day at the Berns, which also became sold out, great fun for the band, I must say. Working at Berns feels sometimes a little luxury In some way. This was a fairly soft event with a bunch of musicians who was typically Swedish, you know, like that little reclusive and wary. But the band made ​​a good impression on me, even that this kinda music not immediately turns me on.

Support act for this event was a kinda interesting constellation named "Winhill/Losehill" which was kinda cool, nice and well played live, check them out if you like indie music.

"Winhill/Losehill" also took the opportunity to record a video at the Berns, too their first single, listen to Spotify.

Deportees are a Swedish band from Vindeln and Umeå, formed in 2003, consisting of brothers Peder Stenberg (vocals) and Anders Stenberg (guitar), in addition to Thomas Hedlund (drummer) and Mattias Lidström (keyboard).

The debut single "Arrest Me 'til it Hurts", a peculiar song with influences of pop, funk, country music and Prince. The single generated considerable interest among the public and the critics, it was followed by the first full length CD All Prayed Up in 2004. The album was nominated for two Swedish Grammies, for "Best new artist" and "Best pop group".

The band toured Sweden, United States, the UK and Ireland. In 2006, for their second album Damaged Goods, they cooperated with producers Pelle Gunnerfeldt and Björn Yttling.

The music has roots in the Norwegian traditional folk music, but with experimenting, mixing styles and genres, so they have developed their own sound. This makes the music both innovative and international. Tradition combined with urban and rocky expression.

The Avett Brothers - Talk On Indolence

The construction is proceeding in "Slottsskogen" and it begins to take shape, now it's officially the third day I'm here but for Tune Of The Day, it's day two. Today we serve a band playing at Azalea, Friday 14:00

The Avett Brothers, A little recap: North Carolina, Beard, two brothers (Seth and Scott) and a friend (Bob), melancholy and euphoria in a world of bluegrass music go hand in hand with punk. Yes, somewhere where Hank Williams breed children with Neil Young as the rebellious fashion press in the Rocket To Russia by Ramones to distance themselves from their parents. However, such a father like son - The Avett Brothers are all that and then some.

The Rick Rubin-produced album "I and Love and You" touched and created mess on the U.S. Billboard chart. Perhaps not surprisingly, since we already knew from before, what the three men could achieve. But like a mad man was of course delighted when the list in general tend to consist of pouring and re-pouring.

Here is some mixed pictures from today!

Todays tune ”Talk On Indolence” is a manic piece and is taken from the album "Live, Vol. 3” it’s a 2010 live album. It features a concert recorded in the band's hometown of Charlotte, NC at Bojangles Coliseum on August 8th, 2009. Originally taken from the album "Four Thieves Gone: The Robbinsville Sessions” was released in 2006.

PJ Harvey- The Words That Maketh Murder

Polly Jean Harvey (born 9 October 1969) is an English musician and singer-songwriter. She was raised in Corscombe, Dorset and Yeovil, Somerset. Both the blues and Captain Beefheart is a major influences on Harvey’s own musical style.

Her latest effort "Let England Shake" is the eighth studio album by PJ Harvey. It was released on 14 February 2011. Work on it began around the time of White Chalk's release in 2007, though it is a departure from the piano-driven introspection of that album. The album was written over a period of two-and-a-half years, and recorded in a five-week period at a church in Dorset in April and May 2010. The album's first single and todays tune "The Words That Maketh Murder", was released on 7" vinyl and download, backed with the b-side "The Guns Called Me Back Again”.

I've seen and done things I want to forget
I've seen soldiers fall like lumps of meat
Blown and shot out beyond belief
Arms and legs were in the trees

"The Words That Maketh Murder" is very entertaining and catchy, a bit radical but mischievous chorus reinforced by Harvey's own obstinate voice. Released: 7 February 2011
