Other Swedish bands

[raphd]

The Radio Dept turned me on to a lot of Swedish bands 5 years ago: The Bear Quartet, The Knife, Isolation Years, Franke, Laakso, David & The Citizens, Audrey, Jens Lekman, etc.

So much so that I eventually moved from London to Stockholm, Sweden

Are you fan of any other Swedish bands or are you more interested in musical genres like shoegaze, indie, electro pop, etc. ?

There are too many awesome bands/musicians from Sweden.
We all know that the band loathe labrador and all the bands on that label, so I wont mention them.

You should all look into the bands on the Friendly noise label. They're all pretty good. Very electro

I'm a complete sucker for the Swedish music, and there are a slew of Swedish bands like Laakso, Audrey, Testbild!, Logh, Ef, Love is All and many many many more, it's really great to see how Swedish Post-Rock scene thrives, i mean bands like Immanu El, Pg. Lost, Sickoakes, Jeniferever, September Malevolence and i'll come to a halt here for i might leave out some fascinating bands. And i'm really attracted to some Swedish Ambient/Dark ambient and Noise, or whatever you name it, bands and artists. And Swedish Electronica is quite extraordinary and appealing.
You can take it as a testament to my being a sucker for the Swedish music: http://www.last.fm/user/Astro-kopp

I love swedish post-rock bands.
But it's kinda strange and awesome how they're completely different to bands from other nations. They just do it.. in a different way.

I Am Responsible is one of my records of the year and Jonathan by pg.lost is up there in my songs of the year.

Jeniferever

I saw Jeni last night. They were supporting iLiKETRAiNS on their uk tour.
Really really fucking boring. I love their records, but i was really bored watching them live.
I don't know why that is, but they just made me feel very lethargic.
The set list wasn't very good either. bah, maybe it was just an off day.
I must also say that they are very delicate little boys/elves

I Like 'em a lot! + few LAbrador -bands such as Pallers & Club 8!

Well, i love both of them and i haven't seen any of them in the flesh so dunno really. Sorry but, if your comment was partly a suggestion then i'm not taking it, cos i really want to see them .And oh, my friend from Iceland was there as well, but i haven't heard any comments from her about the gig so far.

I don't know what it was. The music they played was good, but just.. lacked something.
I still say it's worth seeing them live.
Maybe it was just the setlist, just wasn't very gripping.

I live in Yorkshire, the home of iLiKETRAiNS, so i've seen them far too many times and they sound like they do on record, booming vocals and awesome drumming.

[astro-kopp]

Yeah, it happens when certain bands simply don't live up to your anticipations. As i see you've got a great experience in seeing iLiKETRAiNS every now and then, but lets guess for the best and assume that Jeniferever had a tough day and that's why they put on a much boring show
