A farewell to Kent
Few Swedish bands have left a mark quite like Kent. Tonight they played what was announced as their final concert in Gothenburg, one stop on a farewell tour that promised to close a remarkable chapter in Swedish music.
Henry Rollins at Way Out West 2016
Way Out West has settled into its role as one of those dependable summer rituals. A weekend where thousands willingly queue for overpriced falafel, wear ironic footwear and consume enough Aperol Spritz to keep the canals of Venice topped up.
Front Fabrik Festival in Krakow
It’s a sunny weekend in Krakow and I’m here to attend the first year of the Front Fabrik Festival. The first night was a warm-up party. We went through Kazimierz across the river Vistula and arrived in the Podgórze district.
Yet another year at Way Out West 2015
Time for yet another visit to Way Out West, the annual outdoor city festival in Gothenburg. At first the lineup seemed a bit sparse, but it actually turned out to be great.
Way Out West 2014
Way Out West has always been a strange beast. Part music festival, part environmental manifesto, part runway for people wearing clothes that look accidentally expensive.
Nine Inch Nails back on tour
Several years ago, I found myself ankle-deep in mud at Arvikafestivalen, rain dripping down my neck while thousands of soaked disciples stared into the industrial storm that is Trent Reznor.

The Swedish band The Knife were all the rage a few years back. Their 2006 album Silent Shout was one of my favorites that year and received universal acclaim.
Carbon Based Lifeforms at Kontiki
Carbon Based Lifeforms have long been one of the finest names in ambient music. Strangely enough, despite calling Gothenburg home, they rarely perform here.
Memories in Macclesfield
Macclesfield is a quiet town south of Manchester that never asked for the weight of musical sainthood. It’s not the kind of place you stumble into. It’s a place you seek out for the ghost of Ian Curtis.
