Erik Halldén at Landet! Monday the 3rd of December!

I've had this date preliminarily booked for quite a while and a lot of work to do with the Elenette release(es), so I haven't been sure if I'd keep it or not. Now that Erik logged on to the msn and turned out to be keen to play, it really wasn't an option to let it go anymore!

I don't really know what to write about Erik Halldén. If I did, this text would probably be pretty similar to the one I wrote about Paddington DC. Love at first listen, really. There's such a distinct feeling of intimacy, heart-on-sleeve, fragility and warmth around his songs. I could go on and on, but listen for yourselves instead.

Erik hasn't played live for the last year or so. Now he will. And, we can expect something new as well.

You can listen to four songs on Erik's myspage. Even though they're a bit old now, you really should.
Here are six songs, too, linked from his website:

Saltsjö Duvnäs 01
Do the right thing
Skyscrapers and tall buildings
The jungle
Choosing postcards in the louvre
When my broken heart was modern art

Another link: review of "When my broken heart was modern art" from Common Paper
And another one: review of Erik's concert at Parklife from Musik enligt Jerry

The Cosy Den last fm shoutbox crew will spin some records! We can look forward to post punk, twee and disco from the speakers!

The entrance will be between 20 kr and 50 kr. If 50 kr, there'll be something more on the bill as well.

Finally, I can't help posting this joyful clip from Bräkne-Hoby again:
