The Swedish Invasion


Swedish indie electropop band, Miike Snow, put on one hell of a show this past Wednesday at Boston’s legendary Paradise Rock Club. The band made a silent entrance sporting all black attire and blank white masks, as is their performance signature. The ecstatic crowd cheered as the band approached their positions on stage. Their opening song, Cult Logic, captivated the audience into a trance-like bouncing frenzy with its heavy electronic beat and the euphoric, light, lingering voice of Andrew Wyatt. The band revealed their faces during an extended instrumental jam in the middle of their third song, Black and Blue. Clocking in just short of an hour, the short-but-sweet show ended with “Animal,” their most energetic and famous song to date.


The band focused entirely on their instruments throughout the course of the show, uttering only: “thank you.” Formed in 2007, Miike Snow consists of front man indie singer/guitarist Andrew Wyatt and production duo ChristianBloodshy Karlsson and PontusAvant Winnberg

(best known for their award-winning work on Britney Spears’ “Toxic”). Miike Snow is a worthy listen and a great live show.


Much Base Trip Records Love,
