Arab Strap

Here’s a funny thing. Stockholm (the place) has popped up in conversation twice in the last fortnight and i was reminded of my own visits to Stockholm when i lived in Europe. I went a few times, both in winter and in summer and i instantled loved the city and people.

As part of my reminiscences i went to have a look at some of the photos i took , and while browsing remembered i’d seen the band Arab Strap one night in the Debasser night club (which I understand has recently shut down). I remember the crowd were really friendly and even saved my place on the front row when i had to pop out to the bathroom! I took these photos with my first compact camera which by today’s standards was very basic. Somehow they came out, and a bit of modern editing means they are just about serviceable and capture the band in its 2003 glory, touring Europe!

So, here from 19th October 2003, is Arab Strap
