Gig Highlight: Honeymilk
Södra Teatern Mosebacke 3, Stockholm, SwedenPhoto: Ben Hansen I’ve heard an awful lot of song lyrics this year, but none that have been quite as good as one from Honeymilk’s single Trip: ““Like a dog needs a lamppost, I need you”. I mean, as far as self-deprecating love song lyrics go, it’s hard to beat. Honeymilk have more than that in […]

Gig Highlight: Dream Wife/ It’s Chez Ali
What became of your university projects? I had a radio show that Peter, Bjorn and John followed on Twitter for a day, but I don’t think that really counts as a concrete achievement. Dream Wife, on the other hand, did much better with theirs. The band started out as a project at art school, to […]

Opera Highlight: Fédora
Kungliga Operan Jakobs torg 2, Stockholm, SwedenWeird fact: yes, this is where the name for that hat comes from.

Umberto Giordano later gave the story greater fame when he transformed it into an opera in 1898. Fedora Romazov […]

Gig Highlight: Hanna Järver
Debaser Strand Hornstulls Strand 4, Stockholm, SwedenInitially relentlessly compared to Veronica Maggio, Hanna Järver has probably now done enough to shake off those lazy comparisons and establish her music in its own right.
