Gig: Steve Buscemi’s Dreamy Eyes It’s been a coup
le of years out of the game for Steve Buscemi’s Dreamy Eyes (a name I’ve been told is best referred to as a ‘conversation starter’), but the dream-rock four-piece are now back in the game with a new record on the way and a new tour, entitled the Back In Biz tour. That tour visits Stockholm in August at Nomad Bar’s cosy courtyard (assuming it doesn’t rain of course), with support from Langkamer. Steve Buscemi’s Dreamy Eyes, Nomad, Aug 3 Gig: Pale Honey It’s been nearly two years since Pale Honey released their second album Devotion, but that record’s success has kept them on the road ever since. Well, that and the fact that their crisp, powerful rock songs make them a great live band, with tense, tight thrillers like Over Your Head and Real Thing. The Gothenburg duo are making their debut at Gröna Lund this August, taking to Lilla Scenen on Aug 6. Pale Honey, Gröna Lund, Aug 6 Exhibition: The Craft Of Swedish Game Design When you play a video game, you have a little world inside your TV, computer or phone that you get to enter. But what goes into the making of those worlds? This exhibition offers a glimpse into the work of five Swedish studios who work in the visual and narrative creation of video games, building characters and locations both in terms of artistic design and backstory. We see the creation process, all the way from hand-drawn sketches, in this collaboration with Illustratörcentrum (The Centre for Illustration and Graphic Design). The Craft Of Swedish Game Design, ArkDes, on display until Aug 25 Concept Sketch for Unravel by Dick Adolfsson for Coldwood Interactive 27 Photo: Alexander Tillheden Photo: Jasmin Storch
