There's this little scene in Stockholm with youngsters making noise of the more unfashionable kind, and Dinosaurs Are Still Alive are certainly at the centre of all this. With songs that all sound like immidiate hit lo-fi punk pop tunes at first listen, Adam Forsberg and his mates have already gained quite a bit of attention thanks to these tunes. They've opened for the Sic Alps at Debaser in Stockholm, and have also been brought to Gothenburg for a gig, and had the song "Growing up going down" featured in BBC 6's Tom Robinson Introducing. I almost wish I hadn't heard Dinosaurs Are Still Alive yet, because if you haven't, you're in for an amazing treat.
About the DJ line-up then!
* Thursday: Karin from Cosy Recordings and Johan from SKWBN will start off the night, for those of you who'd like to sit outdoors for a bit before Colin Clary takes the stage at Landet. They'll play some seven inches together between 6 and 8. And indoors, when it's opened there, Åsa who helped setting up gigs when Cosy Den was based in Gothenburg will play her fave tunes.
* Friday: Padde from the amazing Gothenburg indie night Snap-tight! will do some dj-ing between and after the bands at Gula Villan.
* Saturday: Burnsy & Vincent Tigreat from Dirtyclubber in Paris, France will put icing on the cake, playing a neat selection of what Parisians can usually hear at indie nights there, from what probably are France's finest pop DJs.
* Sunday: I'll get back to you about this.
And the sad news? Well, I suppose I shouldn't complain all that much - last year, no-one at all cancelled. But I got an e-mail from the Sock Puppets yesterday saying they can sadly not come because of stupid bosses at work. We hope to bring them over in the future.
