I feel more connected to this country when I know what is being done here creatively.
And speaking of the swedish music scene, my 17 year old punk rock drummer niece and her band Va!!?? just spent a weekend at a 5 start hotel participating in music clinics with bands from around Sweden after winning a regional music competition by Musik Direkt. I am so proud, these girls rock! My niece and her best friend decided to teach themselves instruments and form a band when they were 11, and have been playing together ever since.
This is their recording 'Du är inte min Hitler'/'You are not my Hitler' from last year. In June they will be playing for their third year at Mossagård Festivalen in Veberöd, an eco- music festival held at an organic farm.
