  • Composed of two young Swedish sisters whose charming, folk-infused pop music lulls and enchants, First Aid Kit nods to late-'60s and early-'70s bands like Crosby, Stills & Nash. Watch the pair perform three songs from The Lion's Roar.
    Set List:
    "New Year's Eve"
    "The Lion's Roar"
    "Emmylou"

      They needed a break.
      Artists who tour a lot sometimes need a longer break.
      They're back in earnest again in the summer of 2021 if corona virus allows it.

    I truly wish I wouldn't have somehow missed this when it first came out, but man... I haven't had a band impact me the way these two do in a long time. They are absurdly good performers and probably the most talented songwriters I've heard in a very, very long time.

    First Aid Kit also nods to the band Momma's and the papa's. Notice that Klara is always the one starting and announcing the song, she's like the lead singer of the duo.

    etc etc
    then from around 2:00 it's C Am D F C Am D F C F Em F Em F G C
    etc etc
    Hope that helps :)

    I looked it up, they first started uploading music to MySpace in 2007 and got noticed more in 2008, the younger one Klara was born in 93, so that would make her about 14 or 15 at the time. Crazy. If this was uploaded in 2012, she'd be 19 though.
