A Night at Bimbo's 365 Club

Last night we had the pleasure of seeing Koop at Bimbo's 365 Club in North Beach. It was fantastic! The Swedish duo of Oscar Simonsson and Magnus Zingmark wowed us with their musical stylings that they like to call Swingtronica. (Yes, of course they are Swedish.) Typically their music is pieced together with hundreds of samples, but when played live they bring in a 7-piece swing orchestra complete with some guy who was absolutely wicked on the xylophone! Do they still call it a xylophone? Not to mention, the venue was absolutely fantastic. The club was built in the 1930's as a way to bring some fun to the Depression and it soon became the place to see and be seen. We sat at a table in a dark room lit only by candlelight, while we drank champagne and were mesmerized by the voice of the lead singer: Hilde Louise Asbjornsen. She was amazing and even had 3 outfit changes. Brett and EP were also able to join in the fun, and hats off to Eeps for rallying even though she came straight off of a plane from a long, exhausting business trip. Thanks for helping us bring in our 2nd Anniversary with style! En gång til, Stockholm! En gång til!
