STOCKHOLM – CUTE OVERLOAD

Our new favourite cosy band, OWL is playing at Landet in Stockholm tomorrow, Friday. They gave us three spots on the list that you can win by mailing us a photo of an owl. Here's an imaginary interview done by our part time contributor and full time office mascot Patrick Crotty. The article is an extract taken straight from his single page, weekly fanzine SMALL TALK.

"Owl is getting more and more exciting because Mr. Wonder Tony Cederteg is playing drums (can he play drums too?!) and Ka-Carl from the Shout Out Louds brings along a few guy-party moments to the band that is otherwise the most cute as a button band ever. The obligatory cute Chinese girl in the band, Fan, told me ‚ÄòSometimes there are 100 guys chasing us.’ Okay!
That is probably this band’s only downside, there is a high risk of getting a crush on someone in the band, and their lyrics only make that crush-risk shoot up higher. Heartbroken dudes are gonna be all ‚Äòooh man that guy you're singing about is a total asshole, but I promise you that I am sensitive and sooo nice. Pick me!’ or ‚ÄòAaah I am so in love, just like you in that song, and I promise to always, always call!’ Goofballs.
Owl’s songs are intimate and they warm both the heart and the stomach at the same time, and more often than not they will hit all the right notes when it comes to singing about tough love and heartache/breaks. The songs on their MySpace are of varying production quality and don't really do them justice, so the best way to listen to them is to se them live.
It's too early to say too much about it, but it's likely that they are going to release this year’s most important concept *album* with a cherry on top. The whole thing is actually quite amazing, and I have no plans on spilling the beans, so you can keep on guessing. Crazy shit is about to go down for indie music peoples everywhere.

** We didn't get to interview them because of lots of different reasons so here is a fantasy interview
