Another reason this is late is I was at a gig last night; I went to see First Aid Kit at the Usher Hall. They are a Swedish folk /pop/country tinged sister-singer/songwriter duo. And I had wondered how they would fair in a venue like the Usher Hall, which is biggish and tends to host more towards the classical music side of things. But wow, they pretty much rocked. It was a very mixed crowd and I have to say, I’ve never seen so many people happily bobbing around. I would say you usually get many people standing still or at more rocky things doing a mosh-type thing.
I have to say you don’t get much moshing at folk/pop music gigs but First Aid Kit did put in what looked very much like a head-banging dance – which I caught I little bit of here…
First Aid Kit head-banging
It was a brilliant gig with some really good support from Kimberly Anne someone I will be checking out more of… and who quirkily was giving out a free download of one of her songs on a tea bag label….awww
Stats!
Time doing weight/core stuff: 20 mins. Can’t be bothered breaking it down cause I would bore myself as well as you!
temperature outside: minus enough to freeze my car door off!
Swedish singers headbanging: 2 (one shown)
I've never thought of First Aid Kit as being folk. I will have to go and re-listen.
ReplyDeleteI suppose their not technically. that's why I put folk/pop/country...I hate labeling - its just good music I suppose :)
