NEW YORK TIMES
BLONDE REDHEAD, I'M FROM BARCELONA (Sunday) Its days of spindly, atonal guitar webs apparently behind it, Blonde Redhead has for the last few years been making lusher, more cottony music, as if finally realizing that its amplifiers have reverb buttons. I'm From Barcelona is a dozens-strong indie-pop army from Sweden that does sunshine and childlike positivity the way Marilyn Manson does scowls - relentlessly. With the Coydogs. At 2 p.m., McCarren Park Pool, Lorimer Street, between Driggs Avenue and Bayard Street, Greenpoint, Brooklyn, thepoolparties.com; free. I'm From Barcelona also plays on Monday at 9 p.m. at Southpaw, 125 Fifth Avenue, near Sterling Place, Park Slope, Brooklyn, (718) 230-0236, spsounds.com; $13.

Lollapalooza '07: You Can't Make This Kind Of Spectacle With Only 28 Members
August 4, 2007 - Grant Park, Chicago, IL
Posted by Gil Kaufman (MTV News), Cincinnati, OH, at 4:55 pm EST on Saturday, August 4th, 2007
Power trios? They make money on the road. Bands with 20 or more members? Better get that calculator out, dude, and figure out how many rolls of quarters it takes to buy a microwave cheeseburger. I imagine that's the kind of conversation that takes place on the tour bus, or buses, that haul around 29-member Swedish band I'm From Barcelona.
Only 20 of them were onstage for their early morning set Saturday, but they rivaled Friday's musical mob, the Polyphonic Spree, for wacky instruments, enthusiasm and crowd-participation jams. There was the dude in furry bear costume, the woman in hot pink tights playing Day-of-the-Dead-shaped skull maracas, the bro with the dreadlocks and some kind of an ankle-length tunic playing tuba (at least I thought it was a dude; hard to say), the woman shaking a banana-shaped maraca, and about half a dozen guys whose only jobs seemed to be jumping around and looking really Swedishly excited.
Their names were Micke, or Johan, or Mattias, or maybe Tobias. There was definitely an Olaf in there somewhere, or maybe it was Rikard. You gotta hand it to them, either way, though - having that much enthusiasm at 11:30 on a Saturday morning is impressive.

I'm From Barcelona also warmed up the already-warm crowd with a memorable pre-noon set. The 20-plus-member Swedish band (which included everything from a tuba player to a percussionist with banana-shaped maracas) nearly topped the Polyphonic Spree's Friday set when it came to stage-filling energy and enthusiasm. With songs about chicken pox ("You can't have it once you've had it") and cassettes, lead singer Emanuel Lundgren led the wacky pop/polka powerhouse through a set that had crowd members' hands waving in the air and included a kazoo solo from a fan who claimed he'd never had the pox.

TIME OUT CHICAGO
I'm From Barcelona
This Swedish pop band is named for a line from John Cleese's brilliant comedy series Fawlty Towers, so it has a lot to live up to. For Lolla, songwriter Emanuel Lundgren leads a 29-piece band that includes brass, glockenspiel and six backup singers for the IFB's first show in America, one of only three this summer. The band's album Let Me Introduce My Friends is friendly, infectious and lushly executed. Fans of the Flaming Lips and Polyphonic Spree should take note. The group's next single, "We're From Barcelona," features a B-side that tells the topical tale of "Britney," a songstress who shaved her head. (12:30-1:30pm, Bud Light stage)

Pacific! to EMI – gig in London April 26!
EMI Music Sweden has just started working with Pacific!, a Gothenburg duo who has already proven to make the city’s reputation in pop championship justice (fellow citizens include José Gonzales, The Knife, Love Is All and more). Swedish taste makers are right now fighting over who’ll be the first to discover the band – while fans abroad has already found them (among them the editor of Inrockuptibles) and gigs are booked in London and Paris.
Pacific! is romantic, crooked, drum machine pop with a talk box and a sitar in one hand and a childrens glockenspiel in the other - and a well used surfing board under the arm. The secret handshake between band members Daniel Högberg (from London band New Skin) and Björn Synneby (from Swedish bands Whyte Seeds and El Perro del Mar). was formulated ”timeless romanticism” – no matter if it was spelled Dennis Wilson, Sebastien Tellier or Claude Debussy. Their first 12” was released on Japanese label Every Conversation Records (sub label to Escalator Records), and two more tracks will be released on
Pacific! will during the summer and early fall release 3 singles on vinyl 12”, with the title track on sale digitally (but with the other two tracks exclusive for the 12” and the forthcoming album).
First single “Sunset Blvd” – to be heard on www.myspace.com/musicpacific - will be presented to radio mid May and released digitally May 28.
Early fall EMI will release the full length album, including all the 12” songs and some new ones (I’ve already heard 15 of them - they are fantastic…)
This Thursday April 26 Pacific! will be playing at Hoxton Bar & Grill, Hoxton Square, stage time is 21:45.
If you would like to go and see them, please get back to me! www.moshimoshimusic.com/news/
