I saw another show at the Beachland Ballroom last night. Goodhodgkins.com already covered the show (at least Jens’ performance), so I’m just going to give a quick recap and leave you to investigate three great acts on your own: The Helper T-Cells were the first act and I’d say the most pleasing surprise (surprising pleasure?) of the night. They’re local, real local: I’ve seen one guy working
Secretly Canadian Records keeps ignoring our e-mail requests to be added to their promo list, which is pretty strange considering I get e-mails from them every other day telling me about how I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness is on tour again. Sometimes I get duplicate e-mails. I'm guessing the reason they won't respond is because the only people that read Invisible Limb are myself and my aunt and cousin , and as everyone knows, you don't send promos to a site that isn't legit or crawling with that hip indie freshness . Or [...]
Can't speak to Frida Hyvönen's set yesterday, as we missed it entirely; I did manage to get a copy of her CD Until Death Comes , which The Concretes' label Sticky Fingers put out originally in 2005 (it's been re-released by Secretly Canadian this year). Her voice is strong and squarely graceful, although her sound is a little too consistently piano-chick to be really interesting. Frida Hyvönen - I Drive My Friend (from YSI) Before I get to Jens, a [...]
Going to the Jens Lekman/Frida Hyvönen/bunchaotherpeople show at TT the Bear's this weekend; Jens goes on at bloody o'clock in the morning, which has me a bit dampened, but all of a sudden everybody is posting about her , and I like the sample song that everybody's got. So good--maybe I'll get the CD at the show, since I already have all Jens' stuff. Frida Hyvönen - You Never Got Me Right from YSI [...]
I was recently turned on to Secretly Canadian's Frida Hyvonen whose piano heavy tunes have been the soundtrack to this lazy Wednesday morning. I've especially enjoyed her video for "The Modern," which can be found right here . She is keeping pretty good company on her upcoming US tour with Jens Lekman and Early Day Miners and she's from Sweden, what more can you ask for? Frida's debut album, Until Death Comes, features a raw home-recording feel similar to the Stones' Beggars Banquet, Joni Mitchell's Blue or Carole [...]
Featured MS artist, Jens Lekman , is about to venture across the US for a shor tour. Straight from a secretive Canuck: "Jens plans to come back to the States with a 6-piece all girl band complete with horn section. Jens has also been in the process of creating his new record for Secretly Canadian. He promises that it will be a pop record. Secretly Canadian promises that it will be released in early 2007. Jens will be playing some new songs in what will opefully be a sort of sneak peak at [...]
