The night kicked off with a set of well-selected covers by Martin Lundblad, complimenting Damien Jurado, Neil Young and Tom Petty classics with his own twist and excellent voice. Next up the the newly-re-located "stage", Albin Balthasar entertained us with some witty and maybe slightly self deprecating poetry (what true comic doesn't have at least a little bone to pick with themselves?), leading way to some smooth piano-crooning on Rex's house spinnet from walk-in performer Andreas. We were all bracing ourselves for returning friends White Trash Family, who delivered nothing short of a spectacle with their well-tuned blend of traditional Russian gypsy-folk and punk grit, enough so that they managed to whip the crowd into a FRENZY of dancing and clapping! A tough act to follow, but "pshaw!" said Malmö's best-kept secret, The Nykels, who took us all under their rock 'n' roll spell with an amazing set of far-out sounds. channeling such disparate sounds as Half Japanese, The Modern Lovers, Teenage Jesus & The Jerks & West African Highlife music in one set is no easy feat, but they pulled it off with effortless ease and one GIANT microphone! closing out another perfect night of monday blues-curing curiosities, il maestro Patrick Högberg once again slayed us with a set of heart-filled love songs and important historical data from his ever-growing songbook.
thanks for joining us and to all the performers, we'll be back with another great monday next week!
