Coming back to London to promote their second album Daydreams and Nightmares which has been produced by Robyn’s collaborator Patrik Berger, Those Dancing Days played to a packed out venue at XOYO in Shoreditch.
With NME suggesting in 2008 that this ‘cute’ band were lacking “the simplicity of a classic hit”, the Swedish female five piece came back with a vengeance to prove critics wrong.
Whilst playing a few songs from their debut album, In Our Space Suits including ‘Home Sweet Home’, the energetic gang pulled out new tracks sounding almost identical to the record.
With Linnea Jonsson on lead vocals, her soulful and possibly never out of tune voice is matched by an equally incredible bassist and a mighty fast drummer.
Stand out tracks from the album were also reflected in their live set with ‘I’ll be Yours’, ‘Fuckarias’ and ‘Forest of Love’. Playing to perfection is impossible but yet it felt as if they were when the track ‘Reaching Forward’ was performed turning into my highlight of the night.
With an amazing crowd and great atmosphere, Those Dancing Days gave their all and proved that although their music is certainly indie pop, it is definitely anything but boring.
If you can’t wait to see them this summer, they are playing Glastonbury on the Saturday as well as various festivals in Germany, Ireland and Sweden.
