First Aid Kit is a Swedish duo formed by sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg from Enskede, a suburb south of Stockholm, signed on The Knife’s Rabid Records. They’re young - Klara is 15 and Johanna 17. The music they create could, however, hardly be called young, it’s rather ancient. The emphasis is on narrative lyrics accompanying playful melodies with intense, thick harmonies.

The musical journey of Klara and Johanna began, as so many others have, with singing karaoke to various pop songs that leaked into their childhood home. It was Britney, Christina and so on. Nevertheless, they turned away from their earlier musical path a few years later, when they discoverd music that could touch them in a way completley new to them. An entry to this new way of experiencing music came with Bright Eyes, the alias of singer/songwriter Conor Oberst, Leonard Cohen and Mr. Dylan to name a few. Klara almost describes her first encounter with the song “First Day of My Life” by the earlier mentioned Bright Eyes as a revelation.

Now authenticity and honesty was put in first place - and consequently that was what came to characterize the music the two sisters produced. At 13, Klara was given a guitar that she barley touched the first year. But when the basic chords could be played somewhat correctly, the first lyrics, melodies and harmonies came quite quickly. Then came another song. And another. And another. And then these songs were published on Myspace, which resulted in positive response from near and far.

Honered, delighted and extreeeeeemly happy to announce the dynamic duo, Purple Crush at this years TrailerPark !!

Husband and wife duo and big sis and brother to the emerging Brooklyn electro movement, Purple Crush have become a staple to the New York underground as well as the internet’s worldwide dance music community.

Isla and Jared met at artschool in California where they studied dance and music respectively, but it wasn’t until they migrated to Brooklyn that they conceived Purple Crush. Always with a strong pop sensibility, they have explored different sounds, ranging from hip-hop, funk, dance, rock, and electro, and over the years, have compiled a catalogue of music that paints a purple picture.

Part of what makes Purple Crush so alluring is their live show. Isla stands out as one of the strongest in the field, pulling her years of dance training together with her raw take on club dance styles, while Jared provides a constant groove, whether as a dj, tweaking a drum machine, or shredding a guitar solo worthy of guitar god status.

Under their own label, Crushed Records, Purple Crush have released numerous albums and singles, claiming collaborations with Baltimore Club legend, Scotty B, and New York icon and Electroclash founder, Larry Tee, to name a few. This year, with a new album well under way, they also plan on releasing a compilation of New York producers and MCs, as well as an EP from their first artist, Mike Genius.
