Au Revoir Simone to Sweden!

Au Revoir Simone were supposed to visit Lund last spring. Mejeriet had printed flyers announcing that Vasthi Bunyan, Tralala, and Au Revoir Simone would be playing the same night. I called it the booking of the decade, I was lyrical, and it felt too big to be true. That was, indeed, the case. The mini-festival was cancelled.
Now it looks like Au Revoir Simone, after all, will come here in November instead. Their website show a European tour schedule which includes three gigs in Sweden.

Wednesday, November 15 - Uppåt Framåt in Gothenburg
Thursday, November 16 - Spy Bar in Stockholm
Friday, November 17 - Blekingska nationen in Lund

It is nice that Lund concludes the tour, but what the hell was the booking agency Monstera thinking when they set up a gig at Spy Bar? A 23-year old limit is not ideal for a pop concert.
Au Revoir Simone are from Brooklyn, just as so many other great bands. They have long way to travel, and I do not trust that they will come here until they actually stand on a scene in London.

Speaking of Au Revoir Simone, I also wonder who got the idea that Europe is equal to bad taste. Sure, their debut album Verses of Comfort, Assurance and Salvation was cheap on cdon (a Swedish mailorder), but I should had imported it instead. Anyone with the cover to the left who wants to change it for the cover on the right? No, I did not think so...
