Ossi Bond of Johnossi

Being paralyzed by choice is pretty much the peril of music lovers in this town. If you didn’t see Beirut’s amazing show last night at the Herbst, you’re probably considering how to check them out tonight. On the other hand approximately half the population of Swedish rockers are performing at The Independent tonight. And well, Swedish bands are just so very hot. Headliners are the Shout Out Louds, whose new album we can’t say enough good things about. In supporting roles are Johnossi and Nico Vega. Oh, and to tip the scales a little more, the kind folks at Tank Farm Future Sounds are not only sponsoring the tour, but are also hosting an after party with the bands, which YOU, yes YOU dear SFist reader are invited too. Yes, it’s a school night, but come on.. Swedish Rock stars and after party. You do the math. Make sure you stop by and say hi to SFist. Just in case you’re still wavering Ossi Bonde of Johnossi took some time out of touring to answer our many questions about Stockholm and San Francisco. Which is especially timely since Johnossi's self titled debut was released in the US today. Let Ossi's responses be the decider in your life.

Show is at 8 at the Independent. Tickets are $15
After Party starts at 10:30 at the Poleng Lounge 1752 Fulton Street
