Komeda – More Is More (Live) – The Sound Of Indie

There’s something about bands from Sweden. It seems like they are always great at whatever sound they are trying to master. Komeda is a fantastic live band who takes the sound of Stereolab and gives it a more rocking feel. This song was recorded at the Popstad Festival in Sweden in 1997.

The Monday Set: Shout Out Louds – Los Angeles – 5/23/2013

Stockholm's Shout Out Louds have just finished their US tour in support of the new album Optica with a two-night stand at LA's El Rey Theater. It was their first visit to the city in three years.

Magnolia Electric Co. – Baton Rouge – 9/27/2006

The terrible news yesterday was of Jason Molina’s passing. Jason was the force behind the Songs: Ohia moniker (largely for his own solo work) and Magnolia Electric Co (which saw him working with a regular band).

A scandalously overlooked band – always felt they suffered unjustly from the Stereolab comparison – they were (are) a much more dynamic and lively group. Okay, but seriously…WHERE did you get this? I’ve been hunting high and low for eight years for exactly this. I saw Komeda twice in 1998, and they are to this day two of the best shows I’ll ever likely see. Dunno if you’d be up for a trade or what (I don’t have a ton to offer, though I have some harder to find studio cuts of Komeda)….
