Makthaverskan

Makthaverskan play Nice N Sleazy on Tuesday 1 December, with the show starting at 7.30pm. They're a Swedish band from Gothenburg, and this is their only Glasgow date on the tour.

They've been around since 2008, and the sound they've built sits between post-punk urgency and melodic indie pop. It's that kind of music that can shift from a driving, nervous energy to something more open and melodic without losing its thread. Over the years they've toured Europe and the US, and they've put out four albums: their self-titled debut, II, III, and För Allting. The set will draw from that catalogue, so you'll hear songs from the early days alongside the newer material.

One of the things that stands out about them is Maja Milner's voice, which has earned its fair share of praise for the way it carries the songs. The band has built a reputation for emotional intensity on stage, so it's a live show that leans into the mood of the records rather than just playing through them. If you've never heard them before, that's a good place to start: the tension of the post-punk side and the melodic pop side working together.

It's a Tuesday night, so it's a mid-week one. The venue is Nice N Sleazy, 421 Sauchiehall Street, right in the city centre. The music starts at 7.30pm.
