Swedish Australian power duo Kate Boy have been at it for some time, and just in time for the darkest days and longest nights of the year the Kate and the Boys decided to take their talents on a larger European tour. They come packing their debut album One – which feels like a very good choice of name for the first piece of album recording in a discography. They’ll be stopping in London, Amsterdam and Cologne this week – before heading deeper into Germany for gigs in Berlin and Hamburg and ultimately playing Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen. All dates and whereabouts here.
Tuesday next week, December 8th, sees them playing their tunes in Hamburg at the prestigious new venue Häkken nestled right into the shiny Clubhaus St. Pauli complex. Häkken sports one of the finest soundsystems across the country and Kate Boy’s banging electro-pop should be a great scene to watch on that stage. Tickets for the show presented by your favorite Team Poule are still up for sale here.
Attached below is Midnight Sun, a brief description of what to expect.
If you have a thing for Irish taxi drivers the latest joint by Swedish power house Sameblod will be right up your alley. Valencia comes off their new EP Nostalgia which is streaming in full over at Soundcloud. Now, these are times in which coffee and burgers are experiencing waves of their own and you can walk up to your barista and hear about the bean and where the bean went to school. And Sameblod, being born in a time when waves where chill and floating wasn’t a socially accepted way to spend your Satuday afternoon, fill the need for purity and ingenious simplicity with both feet on the ground. If Sameblod were a city, they would probably be Valencia.
Lovers of the jazz and folk end of the musical spectrum listen up!

Australia – land of deadly animals and the ever sleepy Koala. And Tourist Dollars. This has to be the latest musical gem that the metropolis of Melbourne has managed to produce. It must be something in the drinking water down there or the way the air breezes across the bay because it just seems unnatural to put out this stellar amount of great music. Tourist Dollars though. They only have this song out and it’s both 50s and Dire Straits and 2016. Longing to hear more. Hit play.
Rooftops, crushed ice drinks and a sun that is burning down even late in the evening. Things that aren’t happening in November. Still, Swedish pop professors Sameblod have dropped the curtain and released a new song this week that give you a feeling of just that. Fade Out is summer glam all over and really all you could want from a pop track these days. From vast synths to the distinct Sameblod vocals – what a time to be alive.
Fade Out is attached below to your convenience and ready to be released on Stockholm label Sommarhjärta on the 3rd of December which frankly feels ages away although it is just three weeks away. Aloha!
Getting a good look at those flowers? Like cherry blossom, like trees shaking their leaves off around this time of the year, I’m Not A Band or rather Stephan very naturally sports a new singing voice alongside his synths and production work. Not necessarily wanting to lose the old one but instead – very much like leaf and tree – both of them progressing, separately, mutually, endogenous. So, here comes I’m Not A Band in an all new formation. And having followed his development quite closely in the past, this new setup is quite the leap ahead for the tastes of Team Poule. Proper electronic pop music, very forward, while still showing the distinct Stephan-part in it.
They are touring Europe right now, stopping in Hamburg at Molotow Bar this Friday. Berlin and Dresden and loads more after that. Should be a fun season to watch. The new album is titled Oceans and it out on German label AdP Records. Attached below is Cages, off said album. Make sure to also get a glimpse of the great video that comes along with it.
