The Swedish indie pop band Last Days of April will be presenting their latest album Gooey during their Showcase at the Rockhalcafé on the 9 May 2011.
If modern music was a living organism, its arteries would be blocked by today’s surplus of indifferent hipster acts, yet Last Days of April would be a life-saving jolt to the chest.
For over a decade, Last Days Of April’s brainchild Karl Larsson has brushed aside mainstream trends to go with his gut, helming his band’s evolution from a rough Hardcore outfit to an avant-garde alternative rock phenomenon (2000’s Angel Youth) to a high-octane indie pop powerhouse (2007’s Might As Well Live). Throughout the transitions, one thing’s remained constant in the Stockholm-based group’s work: a big, beating heart.
Yes, it is music with an amazing pulse. Enthusiastic guitar hooks that send electric currents through your veins; honest lyrics that slice right through the superego. The kind of songs that ignite the airwaves as they’ve done on hundreds of major radio and television stations around the globe. During the band’s European, US and worldwide tours as well as festival gigs (Rock Am Ring, Hurricane, Hultsfred), they played next to the big guns like Chris Cornell, Tegan & Sara, The Ataris, At The Drive-In and The Promise Ring. 2010 album Gooey is convincing with its gentle hum of synthesizer, the pulsating bass line, the bold voice of Larson wavering with unrestrained emotion as well as other colourful sounds.
On 9 May, Last Days Of April will perform in Luxembourg, surprising their fans with a very special show, their emotional voice and a gentle music style. A soft trip is awaiting the Rockhalcafé’s audience, with sounds that are catchy and floating.
