Due to huge demand, First Aid Kit are delighted to announce that their show will now be moved to The Mandela Hall, Queen’s University Students’ Union and your super Sunday World has two tickets up or grabs for one lucky reader.
The band recently announced their most ambitious UK and Irish tour to date in September, calling at Glasgow, Belfast, Manchester, Bristol and Dublin (rounded off with an appearance at the hallowed environs of the Royal Albert Hall on 24 September.) The band also have main stage UK festival dates at Latitude and Green Man Festivals. With tickets to their highly anticipated show at The Empire Music Hall being snapped up, they will now play The Mandela Hall on Wednesday, 17 September.
Added to this they have revealed the sumptuous video for ‘My Silver Lining’ directed by Elliott Sellers and shot at the Paramour Mansion in Los Angeles (home to silent screen star parties back in the 1930’s). Watch here: http://smarturl.it/FAK_MySilverLining
First Aid Kit had this to say of the experience “We wanted to create an intriguing and mysterious world where everything is just slightly off and the mansion slowly comes to life. The idea of things in life changing, even scaring you, but still having to carrying on despite it all is a theme in the song which we wanted to convey in the video. This was the first time working with Elliot Sellers and he really impressed us with his creative ideas and passionate dedication. We are very pleased with the way it turned out!"
The Swedish duo recently released their third album (their Columbia Records debut) Stay Gold on 9 June 2014 to rapturous critical acclaim
With Stay Gold, First Aid Kit - sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg – have honed their musical skills and blossomed as vivid storytellers in creating an ambitious 10-song collection. It was recorded at ARC studios in Omaha and produced by Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, Monsters of Folk) and arrangements were by Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes, Broken Bells, Rilo Kiley). They say of the recording process, “We took new directions and turns with the arrangements, building them up and creating more dynamics, yet always following where the songs wanted to go.”
Hailing from a southern suburb of Stockholm, Klara and Johanna began composing songs as teenagers in 2007. Their heart-wrenching song ‘Emmylou’ from The Lion’s Roar was chosen by Rolling Stone as a ‘Single of the Year’ in 2012. That year was an astonishing breakthrough that saw worldwide sales of over 250,000 and saw the album gain silver status in the UK with sales of 68K. They have performed on The Late Show with David Letterman, Conan, shared the stage with artists including Jack White, Lykke Li, and Bright Eyes, played the main stage at Glastonbury and rounded everything out by winning both the Nordic Music Prize and four Swedish Grammy’s in 2013.
Extra tickets for what promises to be an unforgettable show are on sale now.
