The Sounds | Santos Party House

Ain't no party like a Santos party

Scandinavian pop has only gotten better since the days of "Dancing Queen" and Sweden's The Sounds have only supported that claim since debuting in 1999. Charismatic lead singer Maja Ivarsson lives for the stage, and sassing the first three rows with her sugary rasp. "Crossing The Rubicon" is the band's forthcoming album and was previewed as this private show at Santos Party House.
