Frida Hyvönen

Description:
It’s taken Guy Blackman a long time to convince Swedish pop goddess Frida Hyvönen (Hee-Vo-Nen) to come out here and play a show. Even though we have never heard of her, Frida is a household name in Sweden and has a 24 hour armed guard of drummers and soaring back-up vocalists. Her latest album Silence is Wild has been out on Chapter for a while and now, thanks to GB’s phone manner and powers of persuasion, we will finally be able to hear it live. Pikelet is in on the action, as well she should be and Jens Lekman will be back on decks. – Us.
