Stockholm, Sweden |
Stockholm has often been called the world’s most beautiful capital, due to its gorgeous mix of water, parks/green land, and the land that it's all built on. And having lived here all my life, I do love it for feeling so CLEAN. Perfectly good tap water that has been deemed the best in the world is just the icing on the cleanliness cake! Stockholm has a rich cultural life and it is here young bands often move to when they try to “make it.” The music scene is very much alive with bands like Suburban Kids With Bibilical Names, The Concretes and The Legends, to name a few! In summer, few things beat sitting at an outdoors bar by the water, people-watching, as the sun sets at about ten thirty and rises again at about three thirty in the morning around late June! |
Clubs
|
Fritz’s Corner Apart from these clubs, you should have an eye out for Club
King Kong (www.facebook.com/gid462197),
Cosy Den (www.facebook.com/gid=5119526374)
and Klubb Trubbel (www.facebook.com/klubb.trubbel).
They are filled with indie pop but they're playing on different places
and not on a regular schedule. (JS) |
