Biography

Thanks in part to getting some enthusiastic coverage on Scandinavian-centric music blogs like It's a Trap! and Swedespease, the all-girl Swedish twee pop group Those Dancing Days found themselves with a major record deal soon after their formation. Born in a suburb of Stockholm in 2005 and comprised of Rebecka Rolfart, Cissi Efraimsson, Lisa Pyk Wirstrom, Mimmi Evrell, and Linea Jonsson, the group made waves among Swedish indie pop connoisseurs thanks to a handful of synthy, hand-clappy demos posted on their MySpace site. Armed with a sweet-as-pie indie pop sound that nodded to the Acid House Kings, the Concretes, and the Besties, the group found success abroad and at home in 2007; they were featured as one of Spin.com's artists of the day, and they even won a spot to compete on the Swedish song contest TV show Grand Prix. V2 Music signed the group that year, and Those Dancing Days' self-titled debut EP hit stores in late August. A full-length album was slated for release in 2008.
