Jaakko Eino Kalevi & Friends
Kungsgatan 63, 111 22 Stockholm, SwedenA former tram driver from Helsinki captivates the world with his dreamy pop disco.
Jaakko Eino Kalevi is on a journey where cosmic disco meets pop that meets sweet saxophones. The Finnish artist, who was born in Jyväskylä and who moved to Helsinki and drove a tram – before moving to Berlin to pursue a music career may no longer be undermined. Now we know who he is. We have read reviews where his music has been lovingly compared to Finnish criminals Jimi Tenor, the pop geniuses of Hall and Oates and disco legend Giorgio Moroder. In short, we know that this is an update and declaration of love for the eighties.
On the album Out of Touch (yes, you remember the Hall and Oates song?) Jaakko Eino Kalevi takes another step in his career. It is more mature, more confident – but still just as magically beautiful and personal. Melancholic from the previous album is also there. Like the romantic gestures. Here is a lot of heart and pain to spew from the scene!

Refused @ Berns
Berzelii park 1, 111 47 Stockholm, SwedenFor a few years during the 1990s, all eyes were directed towards Umeå. At least those who liked loud music. The reason was the rare vital hardcore scene that filled the mid-sized city’s leisure farms with angry, young people every week. The mother ship was the band Refused, whose afterburning proved to be a perfect breeding ground for hungry bands with a dream of once becoming as good and important as the role models. They never did. With the epoch-making album ‘The Shape Of Punk To Come’ from 1998, Refused changed not only the Swedish stage’s perception of what loud music can be, but the whole world. The sequel ‘Freedom’ from 2015 showed that Refused never gave up its revolution, just waiting for the right time to return.
Hot Chip @ Vasateatern
Vasateatern, Vasagatan, Stockholm, SwedenHot Chip has put their name in the history books for their unusually successful synthesis of indie and dance music. Their ability to interweave shimmering pop songs and dance floor bangers is almost unmatched. Now the legends from London are back with their seventh studio album A Bath Full of Ecstasy and a much-anticipated gig at the Vasateatern in Stockholm December 14th.
