Venue: STRANGE BREW Date: Mar 16, 2026 It all started in 2004 when Jens Lekman sang: “If you ever need a stranger to sing at your wedding, a last-minute choice, I’m your man”.

Venue: Strange Brew Date: 2025-09-06T17:54:57+0100 It’s a strange sensation when a band’s debut album feels like a reunion.
