Katy gig rescheduled

Watch Sofia Talvik live in Katy, TX, March 25th

We missed our gig in Katy, TX because of the tour bus breakdown, but I’m happy to announce that they let us reschedule to March 25th. So if you missed out on the Katy gig Tuesday, you’re welcome to come and see me on Sunday the 25th!

Space City Rock!

I missed out on my gig at the Super Happy Funland SXSW after party in Houston this week as my tour bus broke down in Austin, but Space City Rock blog did a really great write up for the gig. I hope people found out in time that I couldn’t make it. I’m playing March 25th at Dun Bros Coffee in Katy, TX instead if you want to come and see my show.

[quote] I’ll admit to being somewhat biased towards Swedish musicians, these days; few other countries crank out thatmany crystalline-perfect pop songwriters, year after year and decade after decade (think Abba, Peter Bjorn and John, Miike Snow, The Cardigans, Jens Lekman, Jose Gonzalez, etc., not to mention less-pop folks like The Knife or The Hives).

And happily, Swede Sofia Talvik doesn’t shatter my illusions, delivering an impeccably-crafted set of songs that draws on gentle country-folk and fey indie-pop, somewhere in between the mysterious beauty of Eisley (or maybe Tori Amos) and the floating folkiness of Hem. It’s good stuff. [/quote]

Nice write up in Austin Chronicle

Sofia Talvik in Austin Chronicle for SXSW

I hade a great time as usual in Austin at SXSW. Here’s a nice little write up about my official showcase by Austin Chronicle:

[quote] Of all the voices – and man, they seem to issue them at birth to Swedish women – Talvik has the most faith in hers in an “I don’t need a theatrical gimmick” kind of way.[/quote]

Still stuck in Austin waiting for our tour bus to get fixed so unfortunately the concert in Katy, TX tonight is canceled. The one in Spring, TX tomorrow should be on though. Hope to see you all there!

Tonight’s gig (Monday) canceled

I was hoping to do a fun post about SXSW today, but instead I’ll have to write to tell you that tonight’s gig at Super Happy Fun Land in Houston is cancelled because our tour bus broke down in Austin today. It’s in the shop now so the rest of the gigs in Houston should be on as scheduled. Guess you’ll have to tip me double or buy more CDs next time so I can afford some food after the mechanic took all my money 😉
