| We had a little Swedish invation going on last weekend on Fabchannel. In three days time we recorded and streamed the concert of Shout Out Louds, Peter Moren and Tobias Froberg. Once again we were reminded of the amazing musical qualities of our friends from the north. As of today all their shows are available in our video archive!
Shout Out Louds bio
Shout Out Louds are a indie pop band from Stockholm, Sweden. The quintet’s original name was Luca Brasi, but they had to change it because another band already used it.
The ‘Shout Outs’ combine the pure pop sound from the sixties with indie pop from the 1980’s. Their debut album ‘Howl Howl Gaff Gaff’, which was released in 2005, sounds very energetic and contains beautiful melodies. The second album ‘Our Ill Wills’ (2007), was a much more sober and melancholic record.

Peter Moren Bio
We all know Peter Morén from the Swedish trio Peter Bjorn and John. Their album ‘Writers Block’ sold many copies and the song ‘Young Folks’ was a big hit in 2006. But now it’s time for Peter to go solo.
Peter began premiering his own material at intimate New York venues in 2007, focusing on music that was considerably more folksy than his work with Peter Bjorn and John.
Peter Morén recorded and mixed his work in tiny apartments and rehearsal studios in Sweden and the U.S. The result was his lo-fi debut album ‘The Last Tycoon’, which was released in 2008.

Tobias Froberg Bio
For many years, Swedish singer/songwriter Tobias Froberg had been a journalist writing for newspapers and magazines. He used to say he would stop writing and start making music as soon as he had interviewed the famous movie director Ingmar Bergman and Neil Young. After interviewing Bergman and going to a Neil Young concert that same day, he found he had gotten close enough and started off his musical career.
Tobias Froberg’s 2004 debut ‘For Elisabeth Wherever She Is’ was nominated for a Swedish indie Grammy. Already a week after its release he started recording 2006’s ‘When The Night Turns Cold’, which was followed-up by ‘Turn Heads’ in 2008.
