This week, Iceland’s Samaris return to the UK with their dreamlike, ethereal music, while Sweden’s INVSN bring the rock – and if you’re up for some Swedish/Icelandic songs, don’t miss singer songwriter Freyr Flodgren!
Tues 9th September – INVSN, The Barfly, London – Tickets
Sweden’s INVSN is currently on a European tour and will play their first show in London on the 9th of September at The Barfly. The band has been playing and performing together for a few years now, led by Refused’s Dennis Lyxzén, and have previously released a few records in Swedish under the name Invasionen. Last year they wanted to take their post-punk/dystopic pop to more of a global level and released an album in English under the new name INVSN, so expect something refreshingly new pulled from classic elements of the past in INVSN’s music.
Weds 10th September – Samaris, Oval Space, London – Tickets
