But my friend\u2019s daughter subjected me to repeated doses of their album \u201cWhat If Leaving Is a Loving Thing\u201d and after a couple of listens I found myself singing \u201cCheek to Cheek\u201d on my way home.<\/p>\n<p>The band was named after a race horse. And if that\u2019s not goofy enough for you, how about this? The girls got together when they were about 11 and 12 years old, reportedly out of boredom. And having been to <strong>Robertsfors<\/strong>, I can fully believe that. With all apologies to any <strong>Robertsfors<\/strong> readers, but your town is not exactly the most exciting place in Sweden, or even in <strong>V\u00e4sterbotten<\/strong>, if you know what I&#8217;m saying.<\/p>\n<p>But thanks to those dull <strong>Robertsfors<\/strong> winters now we have great girl power rock from Sahara Hotnights.<\/p>\n<p>What kind of music do they play?

And the second most played song? \u201cVisit to Vienna\u201d by guess whom? Yep. Also Sahara Hotnights.<\/p>\n<p>Why am I talking about this band right now and not some other? Because after a long silence their fifth full-length album is going to be released on February 25th. And it\u2019s about time, if you want to know my opinion. Needless to say, I\u2019ve already pre-ordered my copy.<\/p>\n<p>And here are a few upcoming Swedish tour dates for Sahara Hotnights:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> 2009-03-14    <strong>Lule\u00e5<\/strong> at <strong>-30\u00b0 Kulturens hus<\/strong><\/li>\n<li> 2009-04-01    <strong>Stockholm<\/strong> at <strong>S\u00f6dra Teatern<\/strong><\/li>\n<li> 2009-04-03    <strong>Lund<\/strong> at <strong>Mejeriet<\/strong><\/li>\n<li> 2009-04-04    <strong>G\u00f6teborg<\/strong> at <strong>Storan<\/strong><\/li>\n<li> 2009-04-10    <strong>Norrk\u00f6ping<\/strong> at <strong>Louis De Geer-hallen<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>PS.
