Cancelled: Mando Diao

With their latest, delightfully mangy chapter, the rockers from Borlänge bring the madness back to the stage - loud, dirty and irresistible, just like the thought of perhaps escalating it today.

Some bands mature. Mando Diao, on the other hand, explode - once again. And they take us into a world that couldn't be more beautifully derailed: In "Boblikov's Magical World", the Swedes' latest studio album, a tricky shadow man rules over a network of global henchmen - an allegory of the dark side of humanity, packaged in short, sharp-edged songs and a sound that takes us back to the garage. Dirty guitars, rumbling drums, hardly any breaks - it all sounds like pure aggression and joy of playing.

But anyone who knows Mando Diao knows that there is a method behind the chaos. Since their formation in 1999, the rockers from Borlänge have reinvented themselves countless times - sometimes in love with Britpop, sometimes flirting with electro, sometimes hymnic and melancholic. But live, they remain a force of nature. Björn Dixgård's raspy timbre, the boisterous stage energy, the penchant for rousing hooks - all this has long since made them an international cult act.

After more than 20 years of band history, gold awards and classics such as "Dance With Somebody" and "Gloria", Mando Diao today celebrate what they do best: uncompromising rock'n'roll, as unpredictable as ever.
