Alf’s classic four-piece was firmly rooted in the American rock vernacular. When Alf — in red jeans and a white T-shirt — played bright riffs on his Telecaster guitar, I thought of Tom Petty; when the bass jumped into a high register and the rhythm was pushed forward by the floor tom, “No Pocky for Kitty”-era Superchunk came to mind.
Nearing the end of his set, Alf switched his American Telecaster for a beautiful Swedish Hagstrom twelve-string, and quickly launched into a song I thought I recognized. After a second, however, I realized that the song wasn’t a familiar English-language number at all, but just another catchy tune in Alf’s native southern Swedish.
Though I couldn’t understand a word, somehow it all made perfect sense.
