Album release party

Sofia Talvik gig at Södra Teatern Stockholm live new album Florida

This Monday we had a wonderful night at the fantastic venue “Södra Teatern” celebrating the release of my new album “Florida”. The place was packed with people and we had a fun gig playing many of the new songs. During the gig we had a little competition where people could win a Sofia Talvik tote if they took a picture and tagged it as me on Facebook. We got so many great pics. Here’s a few of them and we’ll appoint a winner at the end of this week.

Lots of parties!

I know it’s a kinda weird headline, but this week there has been a lot of parties. Monday night me and the band celebrated the release of “Florida” at the beautiful “Södra Teatern” in Stockholm. We had a great night, the place was packed and we played 8 of the songs from the new album. No one asked me if I could play any ABBA so that was a perk!

Yesterday I attended my friend Dusty Monroe‘s release party for his debut album. Dusty himself looked a bit like Robert Smith on stage with wild makeup and tousled hair. During the gig ballet dancers, robots and a pregnant opera singer in a white sorcerers dress appeared on stage. Half my band who also play with Dusty were all made up in greek helmets and makeup. I was bummed they didn’t wear the same outfit to our release.. or not haha. It was a great gig. Dusty is really a live artist, but check out his album if you like electronica mixed with pop and surf.

I’m off to Gothenburg today to play at a radio show tomorrow and see my parents. Mum and dad have just been backpacking in India. They’re rather adventurous for a retired couple. Me and Jonas is actually alone in the first class carriage, and we just got stuck south of Stockholm due to some problems with the tracks. Good thing I’m in first class where there’s free wifi so I can do some blogging.

The restroom is my favourite room

I’m actually thinking about this quite often. How much I like restrooms. Of course it has to be clean, but it doesn’t need to be fancy. Whenever you go to the restroom you are absolutely alone (unless you’re in China I guess). You have your own small little space to escape into. It’s like taking a break from the rest of the world. I always find it soothing to escape in to the restroom for a few minutes, when I’m at work, when I’m at home and even at parties.

Even when I’m in good company, it’s nice to know that there’s a room where you can just get away for a little while. I’ve never been one of those girls who want to go to the restroom with a friend when we’re out partying. The restroom time is my own time. And I’m kind of private too. In fact, I might go right now!
