Finale 2: Dual Density

Dec 14, 2010 | By: Mikael Kahrle (Gothenburg, Sweden)

Yesterday, we talked about the final concerts with Ashbury Heights. Another "similar" Swedish electropop band, Dual Density, has decided to break up.

- Due to music direction difficulties within the band we agreed upon ending Dual Density, the vocalist Tess Fries says.

She will pursue a solo career and continue touring as the "Europe Trans-X girl (singer/dancer)".

We reviewed the first - and last, apparently - Dual Density album "Soul Extasy" in August this year.

After a turbulent autumn, Ashbury Heights will perform live for the last time on Friday and Saturday. Ashbury Heights will deliver a show at the Malmö Electrixmas festival, as planned on Saturday, and also play at Gothenburg club The Station's Christmas party on Friday.

The other live acts at Electrixmas are Covenant, Page, Memmaker and Ekobrottsmyndigheten.
