"Sweden's Acid House Kings have been around for over ten years now and finally (!) planning a U.S. tour. Most of you have probably heard at least a song or two from them by now, as last year's Sing Along With Acid House Kings was not only a big hit on the blogosphere, but it got great reviews from Pitchfork and other esteemed publications."

Last night, we went to Cake Shop, where our friends - Crashin'In Dj’s Lio and Paulie spun between sets by Mixel Pixel, Ivy League, White Rabbit, and our Swede favorites The Legends and Acid House Kings. We could not pass up the opportunity to see Acid House Kings in their Scandinavian twee glory. They started their set with songs off of their 2005 album, Sing Along with Acid House Kings but we were extremely delighted when they played some of our favorite tracks from 2002’s Mondays are Like Tuesdays and Tuesdays are Like Wednesdays; ending their set with my personal jam: Say Yes if You Love me. AHK’s bassist, Johan is also the lead behind The Legends. Up Against the Legends was my summer 2004 soundtrack. They are touring in support of their new album, Facts and Figures out in September. With both Acid House Kings and The Legends you’re never disappointed with their exuberant beats, extensive handclapping, and people singing along to their catalogue.

The Legends is the blonde dude from AHK, and it's good stuff. AHK and them shared the drummer, keyboardist, and bassist tonight. his english sounds much better then my man in AHK. I would of thought all swedes spoke english perfectly.
AHK didn't play "but i was wrong, swedish hearts, mondays are like tuesdays, or Almost"
but they did end it with "We're the Acid House Kings." so I was very happy. Those last 4 dongs I've mentioned are the depressing ones, tonight they mentioned that their songs are ones your mother would like or listen to. Julia looked so happy and danced with no shoes on. Always a smile thoughtout the set. Niklas was going on about how Rock n'Roll they are. It's was great man.
Makes me mad that I missed the whole show at the Cake Shop.

That's fantastic news that The Legends are touring for Facts and Figures. I'm in LA and it was killing me that they were only playing the east coast. Good to know this isn't the only time they are coming to the US.
