AHK are one of Sweden's most popular guitar pop bands, with radio hits to prove it. Pitchfork compared them to Scots like Belle & Sebastian and Camera Obscura, but they have a wide scope of influences that show up (and give ,

The Legends are a sweet, energetic, clap-happy sing-along band that shares members with AHK and reminds me of C-86 faves like the Pastels (albeit with the 9+ piece stage presence of Broken Social Scene...)

Doors are at 9, Down By Avalon are at 10pm, The Legends at 11 and Acid House Kings after them.
