We really had a great evening at Underbara Bar yesterday, the spirit within this band is fantastic and it’s a pleasure every time we meet, on stage as well as private.
Neighbourhood
All clubs so far have been great, we have played our asses off every time and the guest artists have been marvelous, but I still think we managed to top it off last night.
In contrast to the great evening, the day didn’t start to good. Our drummer Sebastian took a taxi with his drums to the gig, but didn’t get very far before they were hit by another car. Luckily nobody gut hurt, but it’s always shocking when a thing like that happens, and it makes you think what actually could have happened.
Despite the circumstances we still finished our sound check on time, with some invaluable help from Stefan Hansson who kindly set us up with some sweet sound this evening.
The concept of Club Neighbourhood is that Neighbourhood play one set of funky, soulful instrumental tunes written by Kristian Persson, followed by a second set with a guest artist, last night singer Mattias Andréasson (dmaSOUL).
Mattias Andréasson
Our first set really was a blast, we had so much fun playing. All tendencies to autumn depression were quickly cured with the amount of endorphins rushing through my body, that’s for sure! With that start the second set almost played itself, we just kept on surfing the wave we had started in the first. Mattias and his background vocalists, Joel Humlén & Linda Stenmark did a great job, fantastic singing, and Mattias really writes some great tunes!
Would also like to aim a big thank you to Joakim Simonsson who, in a wonderful way, substituted for Edvin on the piano.
The atmosphere of the evening was really nice, everyone seemed to enjoy the show, and the gathering of some great friends afterwards really topped it off. Thanks to all of you!
Have a listen to the music of Neighbourhood and the music of Mattias Andréasson.
