Fredrik
Live @ Cakeshop, NYC, 11/07/08
I had been anticipating this show for a few weeks after I had seen it posted on this very website. Fredrik's debut "Na na ni" was released earlier this year and has proved to be a very enjoyable and soothing listen, and I was very interested in how it would translate to a live setting. Well, the evening was more a surprise than anything else, as the band opened with "Black fur" and closed with "Alina'a place", with the three songs played in between being instrumentals. I found it to be a bit odd, considering how much of a pop record they have released. I was rather disappointed not to hear the first single "1986" played too, but overall they performed well, it was just something I was not expecting.
