Librarians Wanted are collaborating with our viking friends at Cosy Den to put together a fab Anglo-Swedish line-up here in London.
We had a great time DJing at the Cosy Den in August, and we loved the bands Mattias Jansson picked for his festival. Our guests from abroad really are the top of the crop - and they are joined by a legendary UK band too - The Proctors!
The Swedes are:
- de Montevert
- Friday Bridge
- Paddington DC
The Proctors... when you hear their music it's easy to think of our favourite The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. But it rather feels like Pains and other 'new' bands have found inspiration in the Proctors, not the other way around. When you go to a Proctors gig you drift away into swaying melancholia, and smiling - at the same time! This legendary band was formed in 1993, and after a break from the late 90s until quite recently we hope they'll keep on playing forever!
De Montevert is getting a lot of radio time in Sweden at the moment for her single 'Skyll på mig', and she's got a new single out 17 Oct. And for those of you who, Swedish or not, tend to shout 'Spela Shoreline!' at indiepop discos, she may just play her lovely Broder Daniel cover!
Friday Bridge is modern electronic pop mixed with pop music of the ’80s – sometimes with references to classical music. They describe themselves as: "Pop music de luxe: hummable tunes, danceable beats, quotable lyrics" and we very much agree! Someone said they had a touch of ABBA and something royal about them too. Exciting!
Paddington DC (Distortion Combo) is Calle from the awesome indie band The Bear Quartet (and also Blissful). We heard him play the piano and sing at Cosy Den in the summer, and it was so beautiful we agains drifted into happy and sad daydreams.
And then Mr Cosy Den himself, Mattias Jansson, will be DJing! And there will be free cake. And lots and lots of smiles and dancing!
