Since last year in the first "Swedish Invasion", promoted by Coquetel Molotov from Recife, we were at the first row in Jens Lekman, El Perro del Mar, Hell on Wheels and José González' shows. And now, after tons of e-mails and phone calls, we accomplished to mix up Pocket Music with a different musical project, which promotes the reunion of brazilian fans with the independent musical scene in Sweden.
And it was the spirit of this reunion that we tried to capture from, putting the artists in public places in São Paulo in a fun and spontaneous way. It couldn't be different, because with bands with names like Suburban Kids With Biblical Names and Hello Saferide, the criativity and originality are visible instantly. And as the most fun and gentle people they are, we, as fans, couldn't get more satisfied with the results.
p.s. The reunion of us and the Swedish Invasion generated something different, so the way that we're gonna post the videos will be also. They're gonna be released together and, in this first week, the side A of the three artists will be on the air and, next week, the side B. Afterwards, there will be a separated volume for each one of the artists.
VOLUME 10 - SUBURBAN KIDS WITH BIBLICAL NAMES
SIDE A - MIDDLECLASS LIFE

The boys from SKWBN with few and messy explanation from us, understood imediatly the spirit of the project and with a lot of breath and energy they accepted to go walking in the sideways of a middleclass neighbourhood of São Paulo, singing a new song. "Middleclass Life" (Suburban Kids With Biblical Names), our side A, had the exactly duration of one block of Lorena Street, where people were walking their dogs and cars with money had just arrived in the bank, all this, served as backup singers to this quick, dancing and fun urban serenade.
VOLUME 11 - HELLO SAFERIDE
SIDE A - I WONDER WHO IS LIKE THIS ONE

Our shooting day with Annika happened two days after her last concert in Brazil, in Sesc Vila Mariana, with the band Hello Saferide, which Annika is the heart and soul (she has also a solo project, sung in swedish, called Säkert!). In a intimate concert, she captured us with her humor and sweetness from her lyrics and with her amazing stage presence.
In a small elevator, singing the side A "I Wonder Who Is Like This One" (Annika Norlin), Annika showed her perfect timing, making a elevator trip a perfect size to a song and changing the concept of "elevator song" for two passangers that got a ride in this unique, special and safe show.
VOLUME 12 - MAIA HIRASAWA
SIDE A - CRACKERS

Maia is part of the band Hello Saferide but, here, she shows her solo project. She has this rare quality in her voice, which can be sweet and tender and, at the same time, strong in a way that hipnotizes everybody around her. For this reason, "Crackers" (Maia Hirasawa), our side A, called the attention of lots of people that got lucky in a wednesday night, near a news-stand. Taxis stopped right in the middle of the street to hear her, cars went backwards to understand what was happening and even the microphone couldn't get far away from her.
