Eastern Express from Sweden | Blog, Concerts, Film and Culture

I've found another Balkanization force in Europe called the Eastern Express which is based out of Sweden. The Blog just started but they look like they've been around for a while.

Dually based out of Stockholm and Uppsala, the club organizes concerts, film viewings and events. They even have a mini-bus that travel between the two cities for members to connect even easier (and cheaper).

Here are the listed goals of the Eastern Express:

• We organise monthly movie projections in Uppsala - check the program
• We organise concerts in Uppsala and Stockholm - check the program
• We inform about events related to eastern europe culture ongoing in Uppsala and Stockholm area.
  

The people organizing the events really seem to understand the european scene and its influences. Just check out some of the bands they follow, promote and work with on their blog. Instead of just being a promoter or a band, the organization really seems like its greater goal is the promotion of Eastern Culture and the celebration of a fun and unique part of the world.

Membership is around $12, which is nothing and gives you access to movies and the minibus transportation. If you live in Sweden, definitely check out what these guys are up to.

From Prune, one of the members of Eastern Express:

thanks for putting us up on your blog ! we are actually open to any kind of easterneurope culture, ranging from traditionnal folk to punk music. We like diversity ! We started only last july, and since then we have received a lot of positive responses - we are building up collaborations with different concert places, one of us is taking a projectionnist course to be able to carry our monthly movie projections in a real movie theater. 

We are just laking money, but hopefully this will come at some point...

cheers !

Prune.
