Website
The media crowd's favourite hang-out is back. After a summer expedition to Spymlan and earlier escapades at Riche, Berns and Tranan, Fredrik Virtanen and Tom Pyl have finally found their way back home to safety.
Every Friday the media elite makes a pilgrimage to the bar section of Melker Andersson's very fine Restaurangen where they listen to soft rock, west coast pop, mature soul, friendly pop, FM rock, singalong anthems and camp fire standards. Fredrik and Tom are often joined by guest DJs who are not entirely unknown.
Tonight
Live: Sad Day For Puppets, with support from Meandi.
Licking Fingers
Address: Debaser Medis, Medborgarplatsen

100 kronor (Free until 10pm)

Website
The Concrets-owned record company Licking Fingers has moved away from its former home to set up shop instead at Debaser Medis once a month.
The label will present an ambitious range of act from near and far (primarily the later, we reckon), combined with a fine selection of DJs in the main hall and the bar.
Tonight
Season remiere with live performnces from´ Blind Terry, Little Red Corvette and Harry Florett. DJs: The Concretes and Peter, Bjorn and John.
Punky Reggae Party
Address: Mosebacke, Mosebacke Torg 3
8pm - 2am
120 kronor
Age: 20 and over
Website
Punky Reggae Party is Mosebacke's very own homage to punk and reggae, two genres that have often gone hand in hand, particularly in the London club scene at the end of the 1970s. Mosebacke pulls together some great bands and DJs inspired by the genres.
Tonight
On stage: Governor Andy, Måns Jälevik, Topper, Micke Alonzo and Dubplate Connectión. DJs: Asgman, DJ Dake and Dub Assassin.
Trinity Sound
Address: Bysis, Hornsgatan 82
10pm - 3am
Age: 20 and over
Website
Trinity Sound has been spreading the word of reggae in Stockholm since 1993. A lot of people and parties have passed in that time, but trinity veterans like Governor Andy, Daddy Boastin, Fabulous G and DJ Flars are still there behind the decks and the mics, making sure the party never ends.
