Weekend

This is perhaps the sexiest album cover art I've seen in a long time. You get this feeling of a hot Summer's night at a bar or a club in New York… these two girls are with friends and just very casually whispering some secrets
â€¦

Blondfire

Blondfire, a band that seemed a little out of place in this dance/rock crowd. As you know, we were also lucky enough to catch them at the sparsely-attended Nether Bar in October. The band just released their Where The Kids Areâ€¦

Ghost Beach

We've previously seen Ghost Beach live when they played here in Minneapolis. At the time, the New York duo was touring in support of Modern Tongues Remixed, and it would seem that they've also recently released Miracle â€¦

The Sounds are a Swedish rock band, who has often been compared to Blondie and The Cars. The band will be heading to America in support of their latest album Weekend, which came out November 2013 via Metronome Records.

Having sold out a handful of dates in the US and Canada in October, The Sounds will be back on a more expanded tour for North America.
Lead singer Maja Ivarsson is really looking forward to the U.S. shows, "We are so grateful that you guys love having us here, because we love playing here. We've always had such a loyal fan base over here. It always feels really great to come back to America. Whether we even have an album out or not, we have such great fans who allow us to play big venues which is such a blessing for a band."

The tour will eventually end up with Blondfire and Ghost Beach, who will join The Sounds starting April 10th to April 21st. We have seen both bands live, so it should be a great mix of Sounds/Blondfire/Ghost Beach bill (too bad Minneapolis won't get the triple-threat).
