Kulturhusnatten – The Culture House Night

3 Comments

This Friday me and some friends went to an event taking place in the Stockholm Culture House.

The small 30SEK fee gave you entrance to a large amount of short concerts, performances, movies, exhibitions and such.

Especially good were:

  • George Kentros & Matthias Peterson, with an interpretation of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons that involved sampling a live violin and playing back distorted loops – Industrial Violin!
  • Abalone Dots, playing bluegrass with a touch of Swedish Folk Music – Softgrass.
  • Short film festival – Oue!
  • Klubb Sunkit – the club for odd and forgotten pop music – Muzak, Easy Listening, Exotica and Swedish Dance Band.

After a couple of hours we all needed to go somewhere more quiet, so we went to Kasper for beer.

Today’s music tip: Freewheel

Leave a comment

Today I found a song called Sweet Swedish Winter by a band called Freewheel. First I though that it was an American band from the 60’s, judging by the style of the music and the recording itself, but it turned out to be a Swedish band from 1998. They apparently published just one album (Starfriend) and then disappeared (Sweet Swedish Winter is in my opinion the best song on the album).

Soundwise it’s a bit unpolished, sometimes a bit off-key, but with a certain charm.

Buy or download the album if you can find it. The music makes you happy. 🙂
