About a music festival taking place at two different clubs, and the audience must buy two tickets in order to be able to go in both places, it is really a festival when? Daze Days is exactly this. A ticket is cheaper than what festivalbiljetter tend to be, but this invites, in turn, to buy a ticket to one club and not the other. So many visitors will probably be the experience of the evening to go see a normal concert with a band, and a number of dressings.
back and forth between the two places, I note that they have completely different audience, which also hangs together with the two clubs each have a musical profile instead of a common. In the Kraken performing artists in the hip hop/soul/R&B spectrum, in the Slaughterhouse, to behave in a more rockorienterade acts. So the cosy spontaneity and unpredictability that is musikfestivalers the classic ingredients it is not so much of. Which is a shame, for there are many interesting artistbokningar on Daze Days.

the Main attraction for minifestivalens the second and last day of the experimental punk band the Death of Mark, a side project for the two Sad Boys-members Yung Lean and God, and this concert is the band’s first visit to sweden. Producer God plays bass, Yung Lean sing and they are accompanied by a drummer and a guitarist. It sounds harder and ösigare than on record, and interestingly enough it works very well. A few songs are hysterical, oi-punk, more frequent outcrops, the band presented a coldly echoing noise related to early Joy Division.
the Crowd is young enthusiastic fans of Jonathan ”Yung Lean” Leandoer and sings with the obscure songs. ”Jonte! Jonte!” cries the happy towards the end of the concert, but he corrects them – ”the Death Land, Death Land” – and the hooks of the pillars politely. To think about the collective and not the individual is a point in itself, with this punkutflykt.
has other loud bracelets, guitar straps located in Slaktkyrkan. The strange zeros album-in-cowboy hat-the gang, the Night Beats from Seattle sounds most blatant and annoying, and the who had hoped for something that sounds like Sam Cookes album ”Night Beat” (which the group takes its name from) or the wonderful little genre night bus will be disappointed. More interesting is the duo Lost In the Heaven which consists of the lovers Ellery Roberts, former frontman of the Manchesterbandet WU put in place, and the artist is Ebony Hoorn. They play shamelessly grandiose indie rock with the melodic darkness and much love to the 90’s at least larviga britpop. They are also strong scenpersonligheter. Not bad at all.
On the Kraken appears, among others, the Vibe Good, an american Soundcloud-rapper who released his debut single last week. The autotunedränkta the song and the during trapbeatsen is not original, but the Vibe Good still has a certain charm, and the more electronic bubbling the songs sound the top.
playing Obongjayar, a british-nigerian artist who mixes soul, afrobeat and spoken word flowing (if sung) texts in a modern and personal way. But he does not sound as exciting live as on their evocative recordings. Backad by a drummer, a bassist, and a guitarist becomes Obongjayars music is mellow soulrock, and lacks a strong melody to lean on. But his voice is fine, more the music than the deep, soulful intensity, rather than by the soulighet.
A fairly sprawling festival – of ”benefit of the doubt”-reasons still want, I still call it a festival – hopefully a continuation. Stockholm’s music scene needs such as this, the fit of alternative bets.
