Yuck (UK) @ Debaser Slussen

1. Holing Out 2. The Wall 3. Shook Down 4. Georgia 5. Suicide Policeman 6. Milkshake 7. Get Away
8. Stutter 9. Operation 10. Base Of A Dream 11. Rubber

This is the band's second gig in Sweden after playing Way Out West in Gothenburg in August. The expectations seemed not too big judging by the idle crowd and this was also the most common topic of the online conversation during our live stream. After all, pleasing hardcore Yuck fans online in more than 30 countries seemed more fun than playing in front of a stiff Stockholm audience.

"Loving the Nineties: According to Blumberg, the Nineties-ness of Yuck's first album is not an accident. "I listen to a lot of Nineties music," he says. "It's easy to get passionate about that stuff." Many of his all-time favorite records came out in that decade, including the Silver Jews' Starlite Walker and Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. Blumberg's Nineties indie immersion began when a friend recommended that he check out Lambchop and Bonnie "Prince" Billy after hearing one of his piano compositions. "After I heard Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, I heard Smog and then I realized that Drag City had been putting all these records out," he says. "I heard Pavement and Royal Trux and was like 'Oh, my goodness!' That was probably one of the most exciting points in my life." Rolling Stone
