*BOB HUND* (S) has delivered lots of madness and humour to the Swedish
song treasury. The band is a unique and inspired distillation of The
Pixies, Pere Ubu and The Smiths with a true blue and yellow colour. Bob
Hund went for a walk on the English hunting grounds under the moniker
Bergman Rock, but now they are back in the shape that first made
everyone jump around to the mad Swedish sounds.
*Garage rock and reggae
*We add another two acts to the programme, and they take us all the way
from the Swedish wooden houses across British rock clubs to Jamaica's
melting sun.
*THE DUKE SPIRIT *(UK) has existed since 2002, but the live shows
foretell a future spot next to Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Kills. Their
specialty is sexy garage rock from the big city, and the single ?My
Sunken Treasure? also flirts with Motown soul.
*QUEEN IFRICA *(JAM) combines classic, spiritual roots reggae with the
aggressive and bodily energy from dancehall. She has a crystal-clear
singing voice, a bouquet of dazzling melodies and an unmistably Jamaican
dialect.
