Kristoffer Ragnstam
Piano’s
August 27, 2008

In the packed back room of Piano’s Bar on Ludlow Street an audience of young American hipsters learned why they should support Swedish music- because it rocks. From the very first stroke of the guitar, Kristoffer Ragnstam and his band captured the attention of the crowd with an addicting melody and a diverse, innovative rock sound. The hour-long show highlighted a number of tracks off of Kris’s new album Wrong Side of the Room most notably “Swing That Tambourine” and “May I Admire Her.” The performance was cut with a great raw energy and the songs were tight musically and more than just a little iPod friendly. Kris closed the show with the song “Delicious,” which showed off the band’s great ability to play live as they worked through climatic changes in tempo and a terrific keyboard solo.
