Smoky Bars and Swedish Twee

Tonight Christa and I went to the Monto Water Rats Theatre in King's Cross to see the super-cool and super-Swedish Suburban Kids with Biblical Names. We got there at 19:28, but the main act didn't come on until after 22:00. In the meantime, we watched a diverse crowd of British people gather at the bar, filling the room with thick tabacco smoke.
The first act, Cage the Elephant, was just a bunch of screaming. Christa and I left for a while. We wandered through Camden and found a community park.Back at the bar/theatre, we saw a quite good Scottish band called Seeing Scarlet. They weren't too bad.
Anyway, Suburban Kids with Biblical Names are everything that Swedish indie pop should be: skinny, bouncy, complex. The dance floor was full, and many of the staid British audience were actually bobbing to the beat! One awkward moment when a fiftyish man in the front row started singing "ba ba ba ba baba," the opening lines of "Rent A Wreck." I was slightly disappointed that the band did not play "Rent a Wreck," the song that introduced me to them on You Ain't No Picasso, but I can understand their reluctance to be one-hit wonders.
