2010-03-19Lund: Devil Doll (US) + Duck n Cover (DK) + Thee Gravemen(S) @ Mejeriet
The story of sex and sorrow late vanity nights and a broken bottle of dreams. - Smooth 40`s style jazz, rockabilly, latin and punk!
You are instantly transported into a timeless, silk-lined speakeasy. You close your eyes and your ears begin to weave a sonic tale upon the folds of your brain. It's a tale of seduction and strength...agony and ecstasy. Rose petals that cut like razor blades. As the first notes slide into your ear, you are under the spell that is Devil Doll. Your mind starts to intertwine around her aural strip tease. As the frost off of your martini fades, it becomes clear: spice that hybrids musical genres, and it's all stirred up by a woman that creates trends, not follows them. The essence as heard through hotel walls on hot, humid summer's nights.
2010-03-19Lund: SAINT 21 BARBER SHOP @ Saint 21
We're proud to offer you an appointment with barber Patric Fjellman, one of Sweden's finest. Patric Fjellman sets up shop at Old Style Weekend every year.

He may be charming, but what he is truly known for is his skills with scissors and combs. Few rockabilly boys have left his chair without learning something new about pomade, combs and their hair.

2009-04-27R.I.P Frankie Manning 1914 - 2009

No one has contributed more to the Lindy Hop than Frankie Manning -- as a dancer, innovator and choreographer. For much of his lifetime he has been an unofficial Ambassador of Lindy Hop. Originally touring as a dancer and choreographer with Whitey's Lindy Hoppers in the 30's and 40's, he helped spread the popularity of the Lindy Hop through three continents. Once again, since the swing dance revival that started in the 1980s, Frank Manning has been a driving force worldwide with his teaching, choreography and performance. His own love of swing music and dancing has been as contagious as his dazzling smile.
Now it's your turn. A one... a two... you know what to do...
