A few months back, I heard this great song, but had no idea what its name was or who wrote it. I started inquiring with every music geek I know since that time, but had little success. I finally crossed paths with it again last week. I found out that the song name was, Hitten , and the band who wrote the track was an all-girl group, Those Dancing Days . Obviously, immediately after I found this out I got my hands on their EP and found out they are more than [...]
Elo est venue, Elo a vu, Elo a vaincu! L'invitée mystère de FYM, auteur du récent et populaire bulletin sur MGMT (prononcez èm ji èm ti ) revient pour de bon et ça fait du bien... A toi Elo Je n'ai jamais été attirée par les pays et continents froids. Je préfère vraiment me prélasser au soleil: je rêve de Biarritz en été, (…) le soleil brille sur ma peau . Mais depuis une semaine, je réfléchis de plus en plus à faire le [...]

The other day I was surprised to learn that several people I work with (and their respective significant others) attended The Hives show a few weeks ago. We were all eating a casual dinner after work and I thought to myself, "That's weird, I don't know anyone who likes The Hives that much... there's a lot of great bands from Sweden, but I never thought of The Hives as one of them." Perhaps it was presumptious of me, but it surprises me to find a trend has developed without my knowing it. [...]

Those Dancing Days is a group of women out of Sweden, where pop is taught as part of the elementary school curriculum. When I watched their video for "Hitten," I thought it might be some indie band that thought it would be cool to fill their video with indie-looking chicks. But the indie band is the indie chicks. Done with the ease of most pop acts that come from Sweden, the girls make their harmonious melding of keys, guitar, bass, and drums sound like a nice introduction to the coming summer months. Among the surprises is [...]

Those Dancing Days. Essas quatro chicas muy hermosas de Stockholm fazem un dreamypop delicioso, com direito a palminhas, dancinhas, sing-a-longs e outras tendencias. Rock rapido, dançante (a musica abaixo eh incrible na pista da boliche), elas assinaram com a wichita, casa de peter, bjorn e john, clapyourhands e outros actos renomados. As meninas estan todas na escola ainda, mas esse ano talvez sejam a scandinavia's next big thing (e isso eh fundamento). Aporquá dancing days trazem lembranças muy freneticas, no? Those Dancing Days - Disc-Hoe incrível como as bandas de indie pop suecas [...]
La pop scandinave semble être un puits sans fond. Chaque semaine nous arrive de ce Nord des hectolitres de fraîches mélodies désaltérantes. Et, au coeur de cette rivière de sons, se trouve la Suède. Peter,Bjorn & John (et leur overdose de Young Folks sifflotant), I'm From Barcelona, The Hives (plus rock), The Knife (plus électro), Jose Gonzalez et Herman Dune (plus folk), Jay Jay Johanson, Loney Dear viennent tous de ce Nord prolifique. La dernière livraison 2008 est aussi pleine de promesse, avec, notamment : # THOSE DANCING DAYS (Label [...]
Les cinq filles de Those Dancing Days, qui comme Lekky Li nous viennent de Stockholm, sont une nouvelle hype venue du nord.

Music discovery is the only good reason to get into the music blog racket, so it was with some excitement that I stumbled upon the first demo songs from Those Dancing Days last February. In the post below I wrote about two of the songs but for this repost I've added one more song ("Disc Hoe") and videos for the songs "Hitten" and "Those Dancing Days". Disc Hoe "Hitten" [...]
Whose coat is that jacket!? Whose boots are those shoes!? We're in Cardiff for the crazily eclectic Swn festival and we are pumped. Today we're hoping to catch Domino's new wonderpal, some awesome Swedes and a Dubstep don, as well as local heroes like The Victorian English Gentleman's Club, DJ Scotch Egg and our dudes Truckers Of Husk. Weariness permitting* we'll be bringing you the sights and sounds of Swn throughout the weekend. (whose drink is that booze!?)

It's hard to be critical of Those Dancing Days without coming off like an asshole. They sound pretty much like you'd expect a band of teen girls playing indiepop would. There's really no need to go deeper because I think that's all most people will need to know. So if that's the kind of thing that appeals to you, read no further - download the song and enjoy. Otherwise, let me be an asshole. "Hittan" is about a full minute longer than it needs to be. The performance, especially the vocals, lacks spunk. Not that I [...]

Thanks to my stint as a music-babbler at another, Swedish site I got the opportunity to review the first EP by Those Dancing Days . Since I'm now writing about them here it's pretty obvious that I enjoyed what they had to offer. Those Dancing Days consists of five young Swedish girls, whose sound can be described as jangly twee-pop, spiced with a bit of soul and fun synthesizers. What I really love about this band though is the singer, 17-year old (!) Linnea. For someone so young, she has an amazingly expressive voice and sounds [...]
Those Dancing Days fem 18-årige gymnasiepiger fra Stockholm, som ved hvordan man laver popmusik. De er meget inspireret af 602erne, og af bands som er fremme i dag, kan de bl.a. sammenlignes lidt med engelske The Pipettes . Det er lyserødt, og lyder som det skal, nu hvor det endelig er blevet varmere, og solen skinner! Hitten Download .. Ikke [...]

If you listen real closely you might hear the buzz. It could be whisper between two girls at a high school in Gothenburg or an overheard converstion between the aisles at Pet Sounds or maybe a gleeful proclamation (complete with emoticons) on a message board at the Emmaboda Festival site. Who are they all talking about? Could it be the band Those Dancing Days ? I've heard the term wonky pop used to descibe these girls (yes, girls! they're still in high school) also people hear a little [...]
