First Aid Kit ended their current tour in Lille, France last night. Johanna says she lost her voice towards the end but the audience (and her sister) helped her out! It’s surely been a gruelling year for the sisters having completed multiple tours in the US and Europe in support of their album ‘Ruins’. If hard work equated to success they’d be up there with the stars! If talent counted for anything, they’d also be up there! Sadly, it’s performers like Miley Cyrus who get 14 million views on YouTube in just a few days, and, no, I don’t like her new single (or video), no matter how much it sounds like ‘My Silver Lining’!
Still, things are looking up for First Aid Kit, they’ve clearly picked up a lot of new fans around Europe, and are set for their ‘stadium’ tour in Scandinavia next January. Before that, they embark on a mini-tour of the Falls Festivals in Australia. In addition to this, they already have a couple of festival appearances planned for next Summer.
