DEPECHE JUKEBOX-PIANOBAR-SING-ALL time again!

Punk basement à la MODE III

It was so much fun last time in Sofia Common's basement so here we go again! Hope you're not tired of little me :). We gather, eat, drink bubbles and scream Depeche songs all evening. You choose the songs (1981-1993!!) and your cicerone and slave Jonas Thorell executes them on the piano (maybe the same cheesy one as last time or something new, no idea). Everyone sings along.

From experience, it is recommended to book a table and eat upstairs well in advance of the show :). There is certainly better order in the kitchen now, but to be on the safe side.

PS. If anyone is going to Synth in Molkom, DEPECHE JUKEBOX-PIANOBAR-ALLSÅNG time again will be there at the pre-party! It will also be fun :)

Date: Sept 12th
Location: Sofia Common
Admission: 5pm
Sing-along 7:30pm-10pm with a break every now and then. Maybe.

Bondegatan 57. Medborgarplatsen metro station. Bus 2 or 66

Julia Siraj has quickly established herself as one of the most promising voices on the Swedish soul-pop scene and is currently making waves with her critically acclaimed EP Growing Pains, released earlier this year. With jazzy tones, dynamic arrangements, and deeply personal lyrics infused with a longing for freedom, Siraj creates music that both moves and challenges. Her talent has been recognized by both fans and the industry, earning her a nomination for Newcomer of the Year at the Dalecarlia Music Awards 2025. She has also opened for Sabina Ddumba and was praised by GAFFA as an artist to keep an eye on.

This fall, Siraj follows up Growing Pains with a new three-track EP titled Don’t Let The Same Dog Bite You Twice, showcasing a fresh blend of singer-songwriter pop and soul. Turning heartbreak into resolve, the singer takes aim at the men who let her down, channeling their failures into her rawest, most liberating songs yet.

With an honest expression and musical maturity, Julia Siraj is an exciting artist to follow, and the future looks very bright.

Come join us for a special night with Julia Siraj.

Nathalie Olsson is a playful and melody-loving artist/songwriter with inspiration from Pop/RnB. Now she releases her debut EP - "Out of Order" - a collection of songs that are about not fully understanding herself. The music carries emotions but not always through big words, but the melodies are what take the biggest place in her creation .

She has made the four songs together with co-producer/songwriter Erik Wikström, who is the pianist at the gig. Also on stage is artist/songwriter/producer Lovisa Forsberg (Lovie) .

Nicolai Dunger is a Swedish singer and acoustic songwriter from Piteå, Sweden. He has released twelve EPs and albums, singing primarily in English, and collaborated notably with Will Oldham, the Esbjörn Svensson jazz trio and Ebbot Lundberg. He also records under the alias A Taste of Ra.

Rebecca Tilles is a Swedish-American songwriter and singer whose music moves between ballads and country with double-bottomed lyrics in both Swedish and English that go straight to the point. Her debut album Oh Sister came out in 2021 and later this year she will release new music on the Ella Ruth Institute.  Rebecca works as a music therapist and is active on live stages both in Sweden and the USA.

It's a bit difficult to explain Peter Faxvall's humorous and witty stories in words. The simplest thing to say is that there are few artists who make you so happy to listen to them as Peter Faxvall. He sings about everything and nothing in everyday life with a very humorous undertone.

With him he has Ulf "Grandpa" Engström on double bass and Robert Östlund on saxophone .

In June, Fredrik returns to Södermalm, where he lived for five years, for an intimate gig at Sofia Common. Together with guitarist Ben Bergman, he invites us to an intimate and warm concert experience that takes us on a musical journey from the Jakobstad of his childhood, via Bert Karlsson's artist factory "Fame Factory" in Skara and a bustling music-Stockholm, to a star-studded Hollywood and back to the Ostrobothnian roots again.

I november 2024 släppte Johnny Delaware sitt tredje album i eget namn. Hyllade "Para Llevar" spelades in i Delawares egen studio hemma i Mexico City och kombinerar country, rock, pop och Latin, allt kört genom ett psykedeliskt Laurel Canyon-filter. Trots sin gedigna solokarriär är Delaware förmodligen mest känd från sin tid i SUSTO och som frontfigur i sorgligt underskattade och kortlivade The Artisanals.

Men nu är det alltså Johnny Delaware på egen hand som gäller och i maj kommer han äntligen till Skandinavien!

These Modern Times' synth-drenched, dark indie rock is as if taken from a hazy England. Strong melodies and lyrics distinguish the band and the visual appearance is dressed in bright colors and patterns – a deliberate contrast to the music.  

“It is so, so bizarre that a band from Stockholm can produce such a sound which fits so well in the Manchester scene. It's absolutely stone cold bonkers, ravin' loonie, mental.” AwayDay Radio, UK

Victoria Moralez is a producer, songwriter and artist, a transboundary voice that moves freely between raw emotion and refined musical form. With three albums behind her, she is now up to date with “UBUNTU, In Defense of My Own Humanity”, a work that both touches and illuminates. Born in Uruguay and raised in a kaleidoscopic world of different cultures, families, and orphanages, Victoria has lived a life rich in contrasts. These experiences have woven themselves into her music and given rise to an expression that is as transgenre as it is soulful. Music became her refuge early on, a way to understand and survive. At the age of seven, she wrote her first song, an inner language she learned to speak. Through intuitive and independent creativity, she shapes songs that touch where emotions reside. Victoria Moralez is a reminder of the healing power of music, and of the strength that lies in giving one's own humanity a voice.

Singer-songwriter Ira Calima's dreamy ballads are interspersed with rhythmic songs in a backbeat, where a recurring theme is relationships and healing the wounds that life can cause.

Rhythm ‘N’ soul club

With resident DJ’s:

Marcus Hjoberg & Henrik Åkerberg

Expect a mix of 60’s rare soul, Gritty RnB, spiced up with Boogaloo, Jazz Popcorn all aimed for the dance floor!

Trombo Combo är en orkester, men även ett koncept. Trombo Combo består av ett antal musiker med två trombonister och en fantastisk

refrängsångerska (Erika Essen-Möller) som frontfigurer. Några kallar denna musiken "easy listening" och det stämmer. Men i Trombo Combos fall är detta riktigt seriöst och skivan är inspelad med känsla och kärlek. Bandmedlemmarna älskar denna typ av musik och faktum är att en av trombonisterna, Mats Lundberg, sen 1988 spelar med ”mr Easylistening” himself – James Last. Då och då flygs han till James för att spela för utsålda hus i England, Frankrike, Holland, eller USA. Den andra trombonisten, Anders G Carlsson, som även har producerat och arrangerat låtarna är sedan barnsben ett stort fan av denna musikstil. Musiken får honom att

minnas då han hörde sina föräldrar ha party på andra sidan sovrumsväggen. Med ett sött

leende somnade han in till det trygga ljudet av glada röster och Herb Alberts orkester.

Ber man herrar Trombo Combo utveckla sin kärlek till den lättlyssnade musiken, framhåller de melodierna. Tiden är inne för lite lättlyssnad musik. Sippa på en longdrink, sänk axlarna, prata med en vän utan att bli störd.
