I apologize for not updating the blog; I was bombarded with interviews, as well as with Geology project nonsense, thus leading to the inability to have time to post music that you should be listening to.
So, now here goes my post of Friday, and Monday! Ha.
Mando Diao is a Swedish rock band, falling under genres such as rock, pop, indie rock, but, to tell you the truth, I would label them Power Rock. That is what they are, and definitely what they are good for, both in recorded music, and in live shows.
It is a set of five chaps: Bjorn Dixgard: vocals, guitars
Gustaf Noren: vocals, guitars
C.J. Fogelklou: bass guitar
Samuel Giers: drums
Mats Björke: keyboards
They toured the States late spring, early summer, and are currently on a European Tour, playing songs from their newly released album: Never Seen the Light of Day.
What else is there to say?
They are good + You are smart = You listen to Mando Diao.
And if you like Mando Diao, you can always check Bjorn Dixgard's new solo project. He is also currently touring Europe. IT IS INSANE!
Ah, the song that I will be posting is "Long Before Rock 'n' Roll" because it is the only decent video on youtube.com, cinematographically--yes it is a music video (directed by Daniel Elskis), actually, the first video off their 2006 record Ode to Ochrasy-- and unlike those shot by fans. I was initially going to post the song "Tony Zoulias (Lustful Life)" to actually a point I brought up today in two of my conversations with friends. This video is not as great as it could be, but you get the sense of what Mando Diao brings to Power Pop from it.
As of now, Americans are unable to buy their new album, this is why I am posting an old song from their old album, because I do not own any of their new music. If you go to their site mandodiao.com
