cool idea for a dj night, i was just talking with some friends recently about how many great bands are coming out of sweden these days ... any hint on artists you'll be playing?

[seeking_irony]

There are so many!
 
 The Raveonettes, Le Sport, The Sounds, Serena-Maneesh, Acid House Kings, The Cardigans, Dungen, The Legends, Annie, Figurines, Caesars, Gentle Touch, The Knife, Sondre Lerche, Tribeca, Royksopp, Loveninjas, Lovekevins, Irene, Afraid of Stairs, Alice In Videoland, TIAC, The Concretes, Jens Lekman, Sahara Hotnights, The Radio Dept. and much much more.
 
 Suggestions for Scandinavian bands I should check out are always welcome.

well, Jens Lekman has quickly become one of my favorites ("black cab" and "maple leaves" are classics), and i'm really liking what i'm hearing from The Knife
 
 here's a couple of good last.fm groups:

Very cool, there were plenty of Nordic / Scandanavian nights at SxSW (check the site www.sxsw.com).
 I like Saybia (probably "too poppy" to some...), Moonbabies, Teitur (grab more recent stuff)...I can't remember what else, but I've found a bit I like off of Myspace.

 Teitur.....which is why I included Jens, Sondre and The Raveonettes in the set last night
