Went to see Garmarna at the Freight and Salvage with friends. Garmarna are described as a "Swedish contemporary folk fusion ensemble" in the Freight and Salvage's calendar flyer. I'm not sure what they mean by "fusion," but if you're into Swedish traditional folk tunes done with rock'n'roll stylings on violins, and/or a hurdy gurdy being made to do things more conventionally associated with electric guitars, Garmarna is the band for you. Me, I thought it kicked ass.
