The Swedish white power band Pluton Svea successfully played shows in Detroit, Michigan and Cleveland, Texas, in March. The shows, hosted by the Hammerskin Nation, took place despite some obstacles. In Detroit, there were originally two shows scheduled, one for both Friday and Saturday night. After the venues learned of the nature of the acts, both shows were cancelled. However, on Saturday, March 11th, promoters were able to re-schedule the show at a Disabled American Veterans meeting hall. The show in Cleveland, Texas, took place the next weekend on private property. This was the first time the Pluton Svea performed in the U.S. (Los Angeles Times, March 30, 2000).
