About Me
Festivalens grundtanke föddes någon gång under det tidiga 2007 när hjärnorna i Patrik Jakubowski och Oskar Palmbäck möttes. Deras vilja var stark och likaså deras ambition, men nya som de båda va på arrangörstänket resulterade detta i några försök till evenemang som aldrig blev av eller rann ut i sanden.Tänket har alltid varit att projektet skall vara något roligt, spännande och lite mystiskt. Inga förslag är konstiga. Under projektets framfart så tömde vi våra hjärnor och skapade en obegriplig "mindmap" som snarare liknades vid en svårt sjuk människas skiss på livet. Tydligt va att vi inte byggde ett konkret projekt.Hade vi tagit oss vatten över huvudet? Kunde vi ro detta i land?
Vi finns även på facebook, gå med i gruppen "festivalen" . .
Samurai Kitchen is an alternative indie rock band that creates music not only beautiful but intense, real and with an original sound. For the last two years they have played many shows in their hometown, Stockholm, where they have found a large audience. That, combined with airplay in both the US and parts of Europe, indicates a widespread interest in the band. In the context it's hard not to mention such bands as Radiohead and The Strokes as influences but Samurai Kitchen are no copycats. Rather, they are a band that has found their own sound, a band with fresh ideas that they realise through music. This is certainly not elevator music and it might not even catch on to you immediately (there are potential hits though, like 'Don't Stop' and 'Maybe I Will') but rather, it is music that will grow on you and therefore last longer. The more straight forward songs are accompanied by more complex songs (such as 'Luck On My Side and 'I'm Insane') and together they create the broad spectrum that is Samurai Kitchen.Songs are written by Patrik Jakubowski and Kristoffer Sundberg, two songwriters from the small island of Gotland who on Christmas Day of 2005 decided they needed to get together as a band and leave for the big city. They did, and now just two years later, with the help of bass player Taivas Mikkola and drummer Simon Ryman, their honest will not only to be heard but to be listened to when on stage, makes them one of the best live acts in Stockholm. Their love for music is shown through their dedication; always looking for a larger audience, constantly working on new material, continuously playing like there is no tomorrow. This is the kind of music you can dance to in the evening and that will help you get out of bed the morning after.
"The Upallnights känns som ett band av det slag som Sverige aldrig innan lyckats producera, den sorts band du har hört från New York, London, Manchester och Detroit men aldrig från Stockholm. De är ett av de där banden som växer fram ur industriförorternas fönsterlösa tegelväggar av ren spelglädje och som hittar sin väg bort genom musiken. Som tegelväggar skapar frustration skapar frustration nyskapande dansant punk. Kanske är just den förmedlade glädjen förklaringen till att de har lyssnats till över 20000 gånger på Myspace och att de uppmärksammats i både Kanadensisk, Engelsk och Amerikansk radio. Frågan är inte om The Upallnights är för små för Sverige utan om Sverige är för litet för The Upallnights. Hitta svaret själv på Tantogården den 19:e Januari."
"Sibling Sense was formed by the scattered leftovers of the band Debonair. Saying goodbye to key-.board player Eric Liljeforss the base player Fredrik Larsson, drummer Johan Svrd and the Ribbing brothers (Peder, Henrik) turned a page and started developing the rough noicey broken sound that is Sibling Sense. At the Debonair studio in Stockholm all hell broke loose at Christemas 2005. Another crap gig set of the avalanche that would lead to the total brakedown of the band. Fuled by the song writing of Henrik Ribbing Sibling Sense emerged from the ashes. "
"Sonjagon are a band fresh out of school, from Stockholm. Musically their sound is expansive and epic. The obvious references which spring to mind on "Buckybell Wtai" and "Aristocrat" are Muse and Jeff Buckley and the band are all very competent musicians, with the falsetto of Jacob Stenberg easily matching Matt Bellamy et al. The most interesting of the four demo tracks however, is "Abbey Lake", a hypnotic piano-led soundscape with echoey reverb drenched vocals. "Original sound", whilst being the most conventional track on the demo, shows the most commercial promise and could well end up as a lighter aloft stadium set-closer."- Nick Levine (http://www.itsatrap.com/reviews.php?r=70)
