Diane had a night
off so we decided to go out and catch some live music. Wasn't a great deal of
choice so we decided to head to one of my favourite venues The Borderline to
check out Swedish alt country band Baskery. Made up of three sisters, they have
been going for six years or so and describe their sound as 'killbilly'.
Didn't really
know what to expect. Venue was only about a quarter to a third full, so like us
the knowledge of the band didn't seem great to London's masses. On the evidence of this gig, this is a shame
as Greta, Stella and Sunniva Bondesso are a delightful and engaging trio who
know put on a show. Great songs, great
harmonies, great musicianship left us scratching our heads to figure out why
they were not already HUGE. They have recently relocated to Nashville and even
with the local competition that will bring I'd be surprised if these girls
didn't make their mark (just need a good support slot on someone's tour). They
write strong commercial material and deliver it live with gusto. They've headed
off the Germany now for a few dates. If you get a chance to see them, take it.
