First Aid Kit perform “Waltz for Richard” live for www.sideshowalley.tv ABOUT FIRST AID KIT Prodigious Swedish teenagers Klara (17) and Johanna Söderberg (19), AKA First Aid Kit, have been gathering fans apace since the release of their ‘Drunken Trees’ EP in February 2009. They are proud to have since released their glorious debut full length, The Big Black and The Blue. ABOUT THE EPISODE First Aid Kit have some wonderful live performances out there on the internet.

As we were preparing for the shoot, hoping the rain wouldn’t get any heavier, we noticed a horse and cart go by. Hmmmm…. What a great way to pick up the band. Ty chased the cabby and brokered a stellar deal for the one block of transport we needed. We always travel like this of course. By the time we’d finished sound check we knew it was going to be a special episode. Those voices. Wow. And a little crowd had already gathered behind the cameras, which always adds a welcome pressure and buzz. Roll cameras. Action. Such beautiful sound and pictures. Wait.
