Next week will Daydreams and Nightmares, the second panel of Swedish girl band Those Dancing Days. 2008, I had seen the five channels in the floor beams and MTC was of concert and on their first EP very enthusiastic. Then I lost the interim at Wichita Those Dancing Days have come under a bit out of sight. About a year ago met singer Linnea me then as a guest singer on one of the singles God Help The Girl by Belle & Sebastian singer Stuart Murdoch again (she is also on the cover of the single).

And then came for me in so many ways outstanding Bowlie Festival in December in southern England. This Belle & Sebastian their favorite bands were invited, which included Those Dancing Days. Their nightly show in Minehead was outstanding, although I was dog broken and had to give up at some point. The next evening saw Linnea but once again, because she appeared as a guest singer with Belle & Sebastian and Lazy Lane Painter Jane sang - magic!

Since then, the Swedes came firmly back in the good bands in my book, there was no chance to miss today's concert, it was set.


Previously I had been able to interview in the afternoon Linnea singer and guitarist Rebecca. When we talked about different concert experiences in different parts of the world, I claimed that the public in England was euphoric mood and create more than the German. Rebecka and Linnea disagreed vehemently. The German public was much more active and dance and celebrate, the English mostly stood around bored and overly critical. I was too polite to clarify things for granted nonsense. Not a bad decision, because as TDD started their show, began to rage at the Luxor and held until the last by a tone. Dancing days indicated.

The mood was not unduly as good as the mix of old and new pieces - all great - but above all the stage presence of the young women was excellent! No question as to why this band Wichita, the musical might not fit properly into the program, under contract. Or why at least one of the musicians from Belle & Sebastian TDD bands were among the five that he wanted to invite for Bowlie.

While Linnea and keyboardist Lisa wild dancing and especially bassist Mimmi and guitarist Rebecka as heavy musicians acted, drummer Cissi is the secret star of a live presentation of the band. It suggests in such a frantic pace on their drums, as I experienced it rarely, 50 minutes of continuous fire. work behind the merch table, so here is the five so-nice and let loose on stage, they develop an incredible energy.

I was the new album is not terribly familiar because I had heard it only twice before the concert.
Daydreams And Nightmares is different but after the first impressions of the predecessor mainly by a repeatedly occurring dark note. By Linneas deep voice (live today perfectly, sat every note), the really gay 60's pop of the band already a dark impact, which won the decisive Gives whistle. The new pieces, Forest of Love, for example, work well beyond the already mysterious song, which I like quite excellent.

Others were hit by the news I'll be yours (most likely a classic Swedish pop), the single entrance Fuck Arias and can not find.

After Bowlie weekend in which chased a fabulous concert the next, I was afraid that much can be explained by my enthusiasm for the performances with the three-day duration of euphoria and the next concerts of the same bands would later disappoint in the usual clubs here . Inevitably. As
drinks you love the holiday and take home, where they are no good anymore. Those Dancing Days work even after the holiday. On the contrary, I believe that the band keeps getting better. 2008, I keep it as very good in memory, as well as at the time but not sure. If one also takes into account how young the musicians are that they probably still went to school in 2008, will be expected by Those Dancing Days very much.

Two small things could be better: the sound was terribly mushy, the mic sounded like it had a lot of Hall, who did not belong there. Second Maccabees and singer Orlando Weeks missed for his duet with Linnea! While

the interviews we have quipped, who would invite the band when they
an All Tomorrow's Parties weekend should make (such as Battles, Les Savy Fav and Caribou in the coming December). After the concert I gave Rebecca the list of the 40 bands that would invite them **, titled Those Dancing Days' ATP. Let's see if they are eventually asked surprised, I would not.

As the career of the opening act The Black Berries will run, I can not judge. I can imagine that the four men, the single uniform jackets and jeans wore different-colored (white, red, yellow and mint), would like to known as a Libertines concert reviews of Solingen. But I do not have enough enthusiasm, however. Approaches, in particular tunes were ok, the song (no matter from whom, and three of the musicians were singing) I was
but not good enough, the instrument solos wanted. In fairness I must say that my attention was away from the moment when I saw the neon sign before the concert with a band logo. From sold-out hall for 5,000, I guess it indicates something, before the silly and a sign of lack of humility before one's own role.
