Sweden’s finest Summer Heart has stepped forward with a new project for 2018 during which he has set out to release a summer song each month, throughout the year. #12SongsOfSummer has kicked off last week, with We Are The Ones. The dreamy upbeat piece is attached below, and given the arctic status most parts Europe are in right now, this warm slinger doesn’t come a second too early. Cool.
And not only that, it’s almost March, which is time for SXSW. The Summer Hearts have lined up not two but three shows so far, official ones at least, that go like this:
3/12 – Greenbelt Touring Presents “All the Friends Fest” @ Swan Dive
3/13 – Greenbelt Official Showcase @ Cheer Up Charlies
3/17 day – Jesse Rosoff presents Rosquatch @ Swan Dive
Whoa, power poppers Villa Bongo out of Nashville come out with a big fish. All Night is red hot new and carried by deep infectious riffs and dreamy story telling, talking about the struggles of keeping up with an anxious, depressed and insomniac partner. Certainly eases the pain when wrapped in warm strings and poppy melodies like this one. Team Poule says, it’s gonna be alright.

Austria, home of the Alps and more recently Leyya. The duo out of Vienna released their debut album Sauna in January via the great Las Vegas Records – and it is a hot one! Attached below is their steaming hit Never Never.
And not only that, the two of them play some tunes on the road this month with dates scheduled in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and more importantly, a stint at Austin’s SXSW, holding high the color of Europe and Vienna. All you need to know, right here. On Feb 22nd, they are set to play a sold-out show at Hamburg’s Häkken, presented by Team Poule. Ain’t that right? Team Poule says, genius.
Tropical and African lo-fi blending quartet Kalaha out of Denmark released the epic and award winning album Masala last year. After successfully competing at the Danish Music Awards Jazz in the category “Special Release” in December, the team is now happy to share some live footage for their new video to Nguni, depicting the many sides of touring in a band.
The music video was directed by Jonas Elmer, editing by Jesper Bækdal, camera by Alexander Behrang Keshtkar & Kalaha, live camera credits go to Johan Meding Nagstrup and additional colour grading was performed by Jonathan David Damborg.
Nguni is the third and final single off Masala, which has just been repressed on vinyl. The group is also working on a new EP to come out later this year, and they have just been confirmed to play Boomtown in England this summer. If you are based in and around Denmark you needn’t even wait so long! The team will be live in Hillerød this Friday, 23rd, and in Copenhagen at Vinterjazz the day after. Hop aboard!
