Pasadena! It started as two friends who had sung together for over ten years, both of them with the same vision of how pop music can be.

Your friends are on their way to you, you are having a party and maybe that unique person looks at you from across the room.

After putting up the first demo recordings online in 2009, the request for live performances was overwhelming . Pasadena’s first live performance was before a sold out show opening for The Whitest Boy Alive.

The idea was that of a fantasy of California's light that meets the Swedish winter darkness. A pacific wave that roars up the blue line towards Akalla. Classical melodies dressed up in electronic clothing.
