Mattias Alkberg has been added to the April 9th edition of It's a Trap! Clubnight at Debaser Malmö! That makes the full evening's lineup Pascal + Sad Day For Puppets + Mattias Alkberg, which of course adds up to totally awesome.

It's a Trap! Clubnights spring update

Thanks to everyone who came out to this weekend's It's a Trap! Clubnight at Debaser Malmö for once again making it a success! The more people that come out, the more we're able to keep bringing you killer shows, like these ones we just confirmed:

03/30 - Syket + First Love, Last Rites
05/28 - Paper

And of course, the previously confirmed Pascal/Sad Day for Puppets show on April 9. See you there?

Presenting: Cut-Out Witch

Check out Cut-Out Witch, a brand new band out of Stockholm featuring two members from Sad Day for Puppets: http://www.cutoutwitchband.com/
The band's self-titled debut EP was recorded by a "pretty drunk" Mattis Ruwe (Makabert Fynd) and will be getting a proper digital release in the near future, but it's already available for full streaming at the aforementioned website. If you dig the classic indie sound of bands I've posted before such as Life Before Man, you'll dig this too.

Cloudberry confirms new 7"s from Bonne Idée and Sad Day for Puppets

Cloudberry Records will be releasing 7"s from Swedish indiepop acts Bonne Idée and Sad Day for Puppets in the near future. I'm not crazy about everything the label does, but they've definitely been on quite a tear lately with their last few records and I expect both of these to be just as good.
