Lucky Lucky Pigeons
Spring has come to both Malmö and Urbana. People are eager to get the BBQ´s started. The birds are singing. And in such a wonderful way these birds are singing.

Lucky Lucky Pigeons are Amna Maksumic, Elin Pärsson, Hanna Olsson and Arte (the drum machine) from Borlänge, Sweden. The band was formed in November 2005, got their first gig after rehearsing only once and has now recorded their first demo. They should be the soundtrack to every BBQ this spring and summer. The song Who Smells Marshmallows has been on repeat for some time now. I can't get it out of my head. Download their songs and bring out the grill.

Who smells marshmallows?
We don't know. A guy asked us this at a Slagsmålsklubben concert. The second verse in Who Smells Marshmallows is about that guy.

If you could choose a band to open for on a world tour, what band would that be?
We can't really decide. But we have sort of agreed on Belle & Sebastian and Lo-Fi-Fnk.

You entered this music contest a while ago, and did pretty well. Is it possible to be best at music?
No. Music is all about mediating emotions. We think it’s important to have the guts to do your thing even if you’re not the best at that thing. We love performing, and it’s developing the band too. We had our first gig after only two weeks of rehearsing, so we’ve never been afraid of doing our thing on stage.

What do you want people to know about Lucky Lucky Pigeons?
That we should be taken seriously! After gigs, and especially after we had gone through to the next round in the music competition, people talked about us as those silly marshmallows girls. We are not silly or foolish! Shure, our lyrics might seem odd, but there’s always a thought behind them. It’s probably that do whatever you want on stage thing that makes people feel that we are not serious about it. We are not afraid to do what we want, no matter what people think of us.

Write whatever you like below this line:
Well, it might be fun to know, and probably no one have understood this, that Lucky Lucky Pigeons is a translation of turturduvor (wich is Swedish for lovebirds). Tur = Luck. Lucky Lucky Pigeons. But don’t ask us why lovebirds, it’s a too long story to tell.
