On November 04, 2009 Dead by April played a show in Nyköping at Club Tellus. Opening act for the show was Smash Into Pieces.
Info[]
On the first Wednesday of each month Club Tellus offered an evening of live performances and DJ. The event was known as Mittwoch and Dead by April was announced less than a month prior to the show. [1] Dead by April's show was well attended and was a great success for Club Tellus.
The most remarkable thing about the show was that Pontus didn't sing anything. The reason for this is unknown, but it forced Jimmie to sing more clean vocals than usual. This is the first known show where Jimmie sings parts of the Promise Me chorus.
During Losing You, Dead by April was joined by Smash Into Pieces singer Chris Adam Hedman Sörbye. [2]

Review[]
Ludvig Drevfjäll from Södermanlands Nyheter reviewed the show. [3] Emotionally teenage rock.
With smoke, lights and devil horns it turned out to be a night of success for Club Tellus when Club Mittwoch invited Dead By April. Half live, they played for an enthusiastic crowd on Wednesday night.
A little singing, a little screams, heavy riffs and tattoos. The phenomenon is becoming increasingly common. The screamo genre has gone through several filters and a few anointed music advisor when you hear it on the radio. I get a little confused when the hard meets soft. What is really a rocker year 2009?
Wednesday's club Mittwoch had scraped together the last garnish since Halloween and merged it with a little stand-up comedy as a start to the evening. The comedian from Stockholm went way below the belt and elicited many laughs from the young audience. Shortly after he pulled off his last sex joke the Örebro band Smash Into Pieces took the stage.
Their revelation and music felt like a softer version of Dead By April and it was at times a little difficult to distinguish the two bands. Not just because they both sounded similar, the singer presented his own band on two occasions. I lost count after he mentioned Dead By April for the fifth time.
"Now comes the evening's final song," informed the singer eventually. "Not for Dead By April... but for us!"
Aren't you supposed to take care of your own stage time when you haven't received your big break yet?
When Smash Into Pieces finished, the floor was filled of fans. The stage was surrounded by 180 degrees when the main act started their gig.
The audience response was enormous when the band entered the stage and set out to deliver the evening's first song. The audience was clinging on the riot fence, making devil horns and headbanging right from the start and it was noticed that this music worked well for the Wednesday partygoers. The red lighting in combination with the smoke gave a large feeling in the dark room.
But it must be a thankless job to play the synth with those bestselling rockers, cause your not even allowed to be on stage. The person behind the melodic keyboard riffs had been relegated to a sampler that playes the notes.
Climbing on the monitors, jumping on stage and waving his microphone the singer Jimmie Strimmell several times revealed how he was helped with his vocals from the machinery on stage.
Live are supposed to live, right? And not just half? I got enough of miming young adults in "Reach for the Stars" during the 90th century. And if one must make use of the machinery when playing emotionally charged teenage rock, why can't they do it well?
Dead By April won't be dead in april. They will be on an after ski and live the last of their rock dream. In this mode the hit Losing You feels like a dirge for a soon failing public.
