I'm going to see El Perro Del Mar tonight. El Perro is really just the stage name for Swedish singer/songwriter, Sarah Assbring. If I had her misfortunate name, I would use a stage name too.
Anyroad, between all the songs I've downloaded from her record company, www.hybrism.com (check out this delight tune, God Knows), I've decided "Party" is a good song to describe her style of music. This song appeared on her first ever CD-R EP, "Baby I've Been in a Bad Place". It is also available on her self-titled debut album and Look! It's el Perro del Mar! (a compilation of her first three EPs)
The
song's not too poppy, and I like the "Bebop, Bebopalopa" bit is pretty
catchy. Reckon her show will be pretty mellow, ah, sissy music at its
best!

Updated: Wed, 07 Mar 2007 23:35:41 CST: As I suspected, a very mellow show. The Submarines was the opening band. They covered a Kinks song ("Waterloo Sunset"), which was pretty cool, I didn't think they were influenced by the Kinks from their sound.
El Perro Del Mar consists of Sarah (acoustic guitars/vocals), Björn (bass), Jesper (electric guitars) and Jon (keyboard/sounds). Yep, no drums.
During "I Can't Talk About It", there were tears falling from Sarah's eyes. I asked about it later and she said that she gets very emotional.
Here's some random photos:
be sure and tell us about the show!

I am loving your blog just so much! I hardly ever get to hear any new music, so its great that your recommendations and reviews are just the sort of music i like. Following your links, I've till now listened to El Perro Del Mar, The Submarines, The Cribs, Grandaddy, and Math and Physics Club. I liked them all. I'm going to make a list and see if I can get these artists anywhere in India.Thanks!
