Story by Abigail:

I was pretty into The Cardigans at this point. I got off on the cleanliness, the sterility, of their pop. 'Gran Turismo' was the album they were touring at this point. I loved 'My Favourite Game' and its video featuring a fake-tattooed Nina Persson driving recklessly with a soft toy Felix The Cat as her terrified passenger.

I remember enjoying the gig, although I was slightly flummoxed by the guitarist who was wearing a black muscle vest and pulling lots of uber-ironic rock poses.
