The Wannadies

Sweden is renowned for it’s successful rock bands, and The Wannadies are no exception. Although their band members have slightly changes over the years, they are consistent, and create solid music without fail.
Their music has evolved a fair amount over the years, stemming from Pixies and John Lennon influences, into their original Alternative Rock style of today. I have listened to their records over and over again, more times than I can probably count, so my expectations were high for their gig. I went in with an open mind, but was absolutely blown away. It’s one thing knowing the music inside out, but another thing entirely to experience it first hand.
Although they’ve had their ups and downs as far as album popularity goes, everyone has their favourite tracks, and it really seemed like they tried to cater for everyone. There were old and newer tracks, intertwined with covers, and some of their big hits. The band played flawlessly and won the audience over before they’d even finished their first song. If they keep touring and playing like that, I can’t see them having any problem at all in increasing their following. A really great show.
