First Aid Kit is a Swedish duo formed by sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg from Enskede, a suburb south of Stockholm. They're young - Klara is 15 and Johanna 17. The music they create could, however, hardly be called young, it's rather ancient. The emphasis is on narrative lyrics accompanying playful melodies with intense, thick harmonies. This is nothing new.
The musical journey of Klara and Johanna began, as so many others have, with singing karaoke to various pop songs that leaked into their childhood home. It was Britney, Christina and so on. Nevertheless, they turned away from their earlier musical path a few years later, when they discoverd music that could touch them in a way completley new to them. An entry to this new way of experiencing music came with Bright Eyes, the alias of singer/songwriter Conor Oberst, Leonard Cohen and Mr. Dylan to name a few. Klara almost describes her first encounter with the song "First Day of My Life" by the earlier mentioned Bright Eyes as a revelation.
Now authenticity and honesty was put in first place - and consequently that was what came to characterize the music the two sisters produced. At 13, Klara was given a guitar that she barley touched the first year. But when the basic chords could be played somewhat correctly, the first lyrics, melodies and harmonies came quite quickly. Then came another song. And another. And another. And then these songs were published on Myspace, which resulted in positive response from near and far. Then came offers concering contracts and gigs.
And now following that path, First Aid Kit proudly releases their first record, EP or mini-album (or whatever you would like to call it) "Drunken Trees" on the 9th of April on Rabid Records featuring seven self produced songs and a self designed cover.

Jopp... 1 år har gått sedan vi öppnade upp i våra nya lokaler, ett stenkast från Slottsskogen. Det har vart ett minst sagt händelserikt år med över 200 musikarrangemang, klubbar och konserter.
Massa nya vänner har vi fått på denna resa och några av dem kommer förgylla denna 1 års-fest ytterligare.
En galen mix av dj's kommer trängas bakom skivspelarna denna kväll. Nega Flô, Wipe Out, Taramasalata, Radio London, Queen ó Klubs & Baby Scratch har alla laddat skivväskorna fulla för att spela sina classics denna kväll.
Märklig blandning kan man tycka men ohhh så bra. För er som inte är så insatta i våra klubbar kan vi utlova ett gränsöverskridande utbud av bl.a brasiliansk fest, 50's, 60's, surf, indiepop, garage, rock'n'roll, country, rockabilly, soul, funk & hip hop.
Vi vill också passa på att tacka alla som har besökt oss under året och som gillar vad vi tillför Göteborgs uteliv. Ni är världens bästa gäster alla gånger. Det är tack vare er som vi orkar gå upp varje morgon.
Vi ses den 31 maj kl.17 på uteserveringen. Det här vill du inte missa. Nu åker vi...
