An Ålandic pop icon (Debaser 5 May)

For twelve years, the club Sunkit has stubbornly insisted on playing music that has been forgotten, or in best case remembered but ridiquled.

The full interview with the organizers in Swedish here.

For the second time in his career, Sixten Jansson – a.k.a. Pop-sixten – is performing at Debaser, in Stockholm, whereto Sunkit has moved temporarily. Pop Sixten made his break-through with the song ‘Don’t Stop the Music’ in 1980 and has been an icon in his (and my) home island ever since. It can be listened to at his Myspace here (at your own risk).

How do you book an artist to a club that plays pronounced bad music, without insulting the artists?

-We don’t mock the artists, we’re on their side, the organizer and DJ Burt von Bolton explains.

It will be a great show for sure.
