Live: Cats and Dinosaurs

In the organizer's words:

Feminist left-wing swing collective from Gothenburg, Sweden on their 10th anniversary tour and with a new album in the bag!!!

Cats and Dinosaurs is a feminist left-wing swing collective from Gothenburg, Sweden. While their idiosyncratic old timey jazz gets every dance floor going, their Swedish political lyrics and punk attitude have secured them a position as the world's most radical swing band. With naive playfulness and bluesy roughness, they honor the jazz pioneers, not by copying them note for note, but by embracing their energy and radical attitude. And being Lindy Hop dancers themselves, they know exactly what the dancers need.
In 2016, Cats and Dinosaurs released their debut album "Swing på barrikaderna" (Swing on the barricades) on PACAYA records to great acclaim both in Sweden and abroad. Since then, record after record has followed, "Kapitalismen är en dröm" (Capitalism is a dream) in 2017 and, after a successful crowdfunding campaign, their first English album "The Shape of Swing to Come" in 2018.

However, their reputation is built on their powerful live shows, where songs such as 'Varning till dom rika' (Warning to the Rich), 'Male Privilege', 'Socialize The Means Of Production' and 'You Gotta Break What's Breaking You' are presented in a surreal mix of vaudeville, sing-a-long and political rally.
