November is that time of the year many regard as dark, but funnily enough, Stockholm gives us many sparkly and enlightened ways to have fun and keep our minds away from the gloomy weather conditions. Such as the Stockholm Film Festivals, where stars of the movie world shine on the red carpets of the city’s cinemas and the light of the projectors on the screens takes us to worlds we have only dreamed of. Stockholm itself also starts glittering, when the streets are dressed with the Christmas decorations. No, this is not a dark time, it’s a time to see the light in different shapes.
Here are some of the glittering events you should not miss this month!

Neneh Cherry @ Debaser
Debaser Hornstulls Strand, Hornstulls strand, Stockholm, SwedenBuffalo Stance exploded like a long-awaited bomb when released in 1988. It was eclectic, feminist, rocky and raw. And Neneh Cherry was the perfect star with her crossed arms and her extraterrestrial coolness. But despite the fact that the debut album Raw Like Sushi has topped lists all over the world, Cherry’s subsequent career did not follow the typical template for a successful artist. Instead, through the decades, she has exhibited a rare musical integrity and consistently treating her music as art rather than a commodity. Perhaps it’s no wonder that she grew up with Don Cherry’s free jazz legend and spent the first half of the 80’s in different postpunk constellations in London.
In 1996, came the record Woman, with the finely-blended 7 Seconds together with Yousso N’Dour among others. Then Neneh Cherry was singing with Cher, and Chrissie Hynde, guest starring with Gorillaz, Kleerup and Teddybears. In 2012 she also released The Cherry Thing, along with the experimental jazz band The Thing and 2014, it was finally time for the first 18-year solo album: Blank Project. Along with producing Four Tet and Jazzelectronica duo Rocket Numbernine, she had delivered yet another uncompromising work that cemented Neneh Cherry roll as a styling icon. The collaboration with Four Tets Kieran Hebdan and Rocketnumbernine gave her more flavor and Neneh Cherry chose the same constellation in the creation of her new amazing record Broken Politics (2018). The British minimalist is recognized, but when the breakpoints between the personal and the political are to be explored, the appropriation is more thoughtful and cautious.
The Lemonheads @ Nalen
Regeringsgatan 74, 111 39 Stockholm, SwedenFew bands have managed to leave such a massive mark in pop history as The Lemonheads – without having to compromise themselves. And even though it has been almost ten years since The Lemonheads released the album “Varshons” they are more current than ever. On February 8 they released, the new album “Varshons 2” – a kind of sequel to the previously acclaimed album.
