VOLUME 11 - HELLO SAFERIDE

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.

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.



SIDE B - VI KOMMER ATT DÖ SAMTIDIGT

It was our first time with international artists, so, we wanted some "authenticity" this time, therefore, we asked Annika to sing a song in swedish, from her solo project, "Säkert!". In a really sunny day, she started singing and walking through a small gallery in Augusta St. Slowly she started to invite the people who worked there to get out of their stores and enjoy this small pocket show of a song that is called "Vi kommer att dö samtidigt", that means "We are going to die at the same time". Annika says that this is one of her happy songs, which idea came from a friend's couple of dogs that one die some time after the other.
