A week for concerts

The Swedish pop music club Svenska Musikklubben does not only book good bands, but also makes great flyers as well.

Next week will be a good week for concerts, especially if you live in Stockholm. Amy Linton of The Aislers Set is standing on a scene in Stockholm already tonight as the support act for The Ladybug Transistor. Sufjan Stevens comes to the venue Berns on Wednesday, but his concert clashes with Pipas' show. I do not live in Stockholm, but I would had chosen Pipas if I did.

Pipas will come to Malmö next week, but I will most likely miss out on that show because I rather want to see Au Revoir Simone at Blekingska. I want to see both bands, but it would be fun to bring a nice last memory from Blekingska before I leave this town.

Au Revoir Simone vs Pipas

Au Revoir Simone at Blekingska, Lund
Pipas at You Can't Hide Your Love Forever, Malmö

Sigh. A year has passed since the last time Blekingska set up a show with a really interesting foreign band. Blekingska now delivers with Au Revoir Simone. It will be a great concert, but I want to go to Pipas' show in Malmö as well. The pop club You Can't Hide Your Love Forever has only hosted two live bands before, but now decides to set up a show with Pipas on the same night that Au Revoir Simone plays at Blekingska. I do not like to choose between hearing The Disco Song and Mental live.

I will nevertheless choose Blekingska and Au Revoir Simone.
