We throw plenty of parties in our homeland of Sweden, but there's something about bringing the Swedes together stateside that sparks a special kind of bond. The Sweden Under the Bridge event last week held at the Galapagos Art Space in Dumbo was one of those nights. Because how can you not have a blast when all of your favorite fellow Swedes are under one roof? We're talking Nina Persson of The Cardigans and new band Fibes, Oh Fibes! performing, along with DJs like The Swede Beat and artwork on display from Ruvan Wijesooriya and Roxy Farhat to name a few. And, as is typical when these Swedish-centric events go down, the attractiveness and stylish levels of the crowd were hard to beat (we're going with a 9.7 on a 1-10 scale). As for the drinks, well, do we even have to mention that they were delicious as always? Check out the photos from the night yourself and come join us next time.

It's almost the holidays and we're starting to miss our homeland: SWEDEN. So we've connected with the sickest band in the land, Swedish rockers Fibes, Oh Fibes! to bring you the song you'll be playing during all of your parties this year. Drinking and dancing. Two of our favorite things.
We hosted a party with the Fibes, Oh Fibes! guys to celebrate the release of the music video for their new (and totally infectious) single "Cerahtonia." They sing, "how can I be sober, when you're having fun?" Obviously, we have it on repeat. We're all about breaking boundaries when it comes to new ways to party, and this time was no different. Partygoers were given iPods and headphones, preloaded with "Cerahtonia," so they could dance and drink Kanon in their own zone--a silent disco if you will. Let's be real, parties aren't a place for conversation. Everyone loved it.
Check out the video above to see exactly what we mean when we say "silent disco," and follow the link below for an exclusive free download of "Cerahtonia." AND don't forget to check out the awesome interview we did here with the band's singer Christian Olsson. You're SO welcome.
KV: For someone who hasn’t heard Fibes, Oh Fibes! before, how would you describe your music?
CO: Someone said this a while back and it’s the perfect description in my opinion: Burt Bacharach on speed.
KV: You’ve worked with some other very well known Swedish artists/producers on this album. How did that happen?
CO: On the new album, ”Album,” we worked with Pontus Winnberg from Miike Snow as a producer and had John Eriksson from Peter, Bjorn and John playing the drums on the first single ”Cerahtonia.” Pontus actually produced half of our last album while working with Miike Snow. We’re all from the same town Lerum, outside of Gothenburg, so we’ve known each other for a while. And this time we decided to collaborate on the entire album.
Other brands keep distilling their heads and tails, milking as much heart as they can which actually strips away sweet flavours and creates ethanol and the burn so many have come to expect from vodka. We don't favour profit over quality.
