Set times for the upcoming Swedish music showcase that It's a Trap! is sponsoring:
6:20 - Firefox AK
7:00 - Juvelen
8:00 - Hello Saferide
Once again, that's October 22 at Bowery Electric in NYC and it's 100% free. Details for the Hello Saferide show on October 25 at The Bellhouse in Brooklyn will be confirmed shortly.
Norwegian acts Simon Says No! and Real Ones along with Grand Avenue from Denmark are playing a "Stranded in Stereo"-sponsored CMJ showcase at Rehab on October 22. Of course, you shouldn't even consider going when my own event is happening at the same time at Bowery Electric with Hello Saferide, Firefox AK and Juvelen (and is totally free btw), but hey- you are free to make your own bad decisions.
Hello Saferide has confirmed a couple shows in NYC!
10/22 - Bowery Electric, NYC w/Juvelen, Firefox AK (FREE!)
10/25 - The Bellhouse, Brooklyn w/Blackstrap, The Seabellies

Pitchfork reviews Kleerup: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/51044-kleerup
Also posted, an mp3 from Juvelen who, as I mentioned before, will be playing a few NYC shows coming up: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/download/51412-juvelen-hanna-mp3stream
Juvelen will be hanging out in NYC later this month and will manage to squeeze in a few shows while he's here:
06/21 - Mercury Lounge
06/28 - Rockwood Music Hall
06/30 - The Annex
07/01 - Rehab
I know the idea of a dude playing guitar and strutting around to iPod backing tracks might not sound all that hot, but trust me, he really does put on a great show.
Check out the new Juvelen video for the track "Don't mess": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZClwRQOp58w

JuvelenMore than a year after issuing his debut EP, the mighty (and yes he's mighty already) Jonas Pettersson has finally released his debut full-length under the Juvelen moniker. Entitled "1", it is so, as his debut album, and also, one of the best flat-out pop albums I have heard in years. The strange thing about this album though, is that each of it's ten songs could be a hit single, yet it retains a cohesive feel that a singles collection does not. Every track is a stand-out, however, for the skeptic I'd recommend "Money don't talk", "Don't mess" and "Everytime" to win you over. His seductive, synthesizer heavy pop/r&b hybrid could—and should—elevate Juvelen to being a global household name.
It's pure pop perfection will make you smile, and dance, and smile and dance.
