Of all the current bands who play styles of music clearly influenced by the 1960s, Dungen probably does it best. As I mentioned before, Dungen is one of my favorite current bands, the fact that they are not a bigger band in the US can only be chalked up to frontman Gustav Ejstes insistence to sing all of his lyrics in Swedish. They are an exceptional band on record and live as the video below from a performance at Big Sur will attest. They’ll be in Los Angeles this Saturday for the Waved Out II fest going on at the Echo & the Echoplex. Dungen headlines and will be playing in the Echoplex Saturday night. If you’d like to go courtesy of Melting Pot, drop me a line (michael[at]meltingpotblog.com) before Friday at 12noon!!!
Bonus treat, here’s the video for the title track off their brand new record “Skit I Allt”:
