Thåström - Körkarlen

Yesterday did Thåström start his upcoming tour to support his latest album release "Centralmassivet", the premier was at Lisebergshallen, Gothenburg. I was one of the lucky invited to be able to leave the homebound and take a trip to Gothenburg to see this live.

I must say, that the premiere of Thåström was a magical evening, he has become a giant in his own genre. He has set an almost impossible standard for others to follow, far from any commercial rules.

The show is just perfect and very unconventional in the whole, it's very dark and deep, but full of energy with a lightning that is cut with an precision that you lose words, well done Brown. The sound is loud with an very Industrial feeling. nice to see you on the road again Björn Lehnberg. The show was mostly based on the last two albums song vise, so no reason to complain, on the contrary.

Tunes like "Körkarlen", "Jag är en idiot" "Fan fan fan" were just stunning, see all the tunes below. "Pimme" goes round in circles in a characteristic way, as we are getting used to by now. The fingers flutters during his walks and when he stand still, he hangs on the stand as it would have been a resting pillar. After the show I got invited to take part in the after party, great to meet old friends like Brown, Brenge, Roos, Lehnberg, Wallinder and get the chance to give "Pimme" a big thank you for a magical evening.

Today's tune "Körkarlen" is the latest single from "Centralmassivet". Regi, production, clipp, postproduction: Svante Loden/Kabalen AB

Kent - 999

After the Opera at the Culture Festival, did the sail turn against Sjöhistoriska, where Kent would play. With a 4 trailer big production should share the outdoor stage, I felt a slightly crowded at first thought, but the stage swallowed everything with its gigantic maw.

Kent really has a wonderful touring crew, where Robban Roos holds the flag flying and steering the ship with an iron hand, techniques such as Brenge, Masse and Turbo makes the day floating on, a really nice trio who always share nice tour stories.

At the beginning of the concert at Sjöhistoriska intrudes Jocke Berg, Sami Sirviö, Martin Sköld and Markus Mustonen in a small rehearsal room, complete with idols of the three temporary and provisional walls, built up on the stage. It is clearly a very striking scenographic detail, a back-to-basics-setting that turns the usually large gestures.

Kent is perhaps one of Sweden's most natural arena rockpop band today, doing a show that is very stylish, good mix of their catalog where even the newer songs fits in as the classic Kent, such as "Music Non Stop" & "747" . The sound is really good, the light is gorgeous, Uffe has certainly got the right toys to work with, it is stylish and harmonious. To sum ​​it all, a nice evening at Sjöhistoriska, though it was a dash of rain.



Kent is a Swedish alternative rock band founded in Eskilstuna in 1990, with the name Coca-Cola Kids, later Jones & Giftet, and Havsänglar. The band's logo is distinctive, using a lowercase "k" and the ITC Avant Garde Gothic Book typeface.

The band has had several big Swedish radio hits since the breakthrough single "Kräm (så nära får ingen gå)", from their second studio album. They are one of the most popular rock groups in Sweden, and describe themselves as "Sweden's biggest rock band", but are more or less unknown outside Scandinavia. Kent briefly attempted an international career with English versions of the albums Isola and Hagnesta Hill and an accompanying American tour for the former, but they gave up after failing to achieve the breakthrough they had hoped for.

Kent has released nine studio albums, sold over two million records and has won 20 Swedish Grammy Awards. "VinterNoll2" is an unlockable track in Career Mode on Guitar Hero World Tour. Kent recently got their own Singstar called SingStar Kent released on Play Station 2 and 3.

Thåström - Axel Landqvists Park

 

Last week I got a chance to see Thåström live again, this was probably the fiftyeleven time. Have actually lost count. But it does not matter for this time it was fucking fantastic, what a gig, quite incredible, thank you "Brenge". Joakim ”Pimme” Thåström only gets better the older he gets. The sound was brilliant, thank you Björn Lehnberg, the light was a beautiful, thank you Morgan Brown. The choice of tracks was very good. But in the end happened something strange, the Swedish poet Bruno K. Öijer enters and makes two poetic number that is very odd.
