More AC/DC vs MARYBELL KATASTROPHY
We are incredibly busy preparing the upcoming album and november tour!
But still there's time to serve you a treat...
AC/DC extravaganza part deux(!)
Two weeks ago we posted a Marybell Katastrophy cover version of AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" recorded in our rehearsal room. Tjeck it HERE.
There were actually two more cover songs from this unique AC/DC session arranged for Barytone guitar and drums, and we are not keeping them to ourselves!
You Ain't Got A Hold On Me - from the album "High Voltage" (1975)
What's Next To The Moon - from the album "Powerage" (1978)
Performed by Marie Højlund and Klaus Q Hedegaard.
Paramedic audio mixing by Jacob Brøndlund and Emil Thomsen. Thanks a bunch!

Lys og Stemmer – i september!
Exciting news for danish people - in danish (sorry).
LYS – landskab og stemmer, seks aftener i september 2011
Evigt produktive Marie Højlund har i samarbejde med Søren Lyngsø Knudsen lavet en musikalsk stemmekomposition til et unikt lys- og lydværk skabt specielt til seks forskellige steder i den Østjyske natur. Værket opleves i landskabet, hvor man både ser og hører stemme komposition, lys, skulptur og digt.
Lys - landskab og stemmer er skabt i samarbejde med programmører, virksomheder, kunstnere og borgere og anvender helt ny teknologi. I en gammel campingvogn, forvandlet til et lydstudie, er Inger Christensens glødende digt LYS fra 1962, blevet indtalt 758 gange!! Ligesom Inger Christensens digt, spænder værket sig ud mellem lys og mørke, mellem mennesker og landskab, mellem nærhed og fjernhed. En lyslinie følger landskabet til horisontens forsvindingspunkt sammen med et musikalsk lydværk.
Elle-Mie Ejdrup Hansen har formgivet særlige højtalere, der refererer til menneskets krop og placeret dem i landskabet under lyslinien.
Tid (18-24) & Sted for LYS - landskab og stemmer
18. September: Ejer Bavnehøj
19. September: Issehoved Nord Samsø
21. September: Dannebrogspladsen, Gudenåen ved Ulstrup
22. September: Stubmark, Rathlousdals Gods i Odder
23. September: Klitterne syd for Grenå
24. September: Trehøje i Syddjurs

ACDC vs MARYBELL KATASTROPHY
Hello people. Dish of the day is REALITY TV.
ACDC vs MARYBELL KATASTROPHY
In the rainy month of March this year, Marie Højlund and drummer Klaus Q Hedegaard performed a couple of AC/DC cover songs as a duo at Copenhagen Jazzhouse. The show was "one night only", and because of redwine related circumstances, it wasn't recorded. What a shame..
A couple of days later we decided to "improvise" the songs once again at our rehersal room - this time in front of a low budget video recorder - for you to see, and for us to remember.
So here you go!
We start out with a solo performance of "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap".
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap from Marybell Katastrophy on Vimeo.
You like it? - Please share it.
More videos from this session in couple of days. Stay tuned!
By the way.. Don't remember the original AC/DC version?
Take a look right here: AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (LIVE)
Are you a tech nerd? Here's a treat.
Synth playing mix/master nerd, Emil Thomsen, bought a new gizmo.
It's the amazingly rare MicroGotar made by Gotharman!
This sucker is a time machine that takes you back to the heavenly distorted 8bit 80's.
Its complicated, sofisticated and up to no good!
Wanna know more?
Visit the Gotharman website or beg Mr. Thomsen for a demo after one of our shows!
Thats all for today folks.
Aarhus concert + New album gossip
Good news for people who like news!
Concert @Aarhus Festuge
We are playing one single show in Aarhus Saturday 3. september as a part of the Rebel Town event at Aarhus Festuge along with tons of cool bands and artists.
More info right here: Aarhus Festuge Rebel Town
Facebook Event to show yr friends what you're up to HERE!
Working for the progress (.. new album? YES!)
Our upcoming album is materializing at the speed of sound and we are eager to present it to you!
We are currently working on 14 new extravagant songs/sketches/ideas from our humble hearts in several different locations with a number of lovable producers and friends.
Kenneth Nørby Andersen (The Malpractice, Beta Satan, ao.),
Anders Boll (Howe Gelb Efterklang, ao.),
Kristian Vad (TV2, Kings Of Dark Disco, ao.)
and of course our very own Klaus Q Hedegård (Tiger Tunes, Figurines ao.) and Emil Thomsen (Marybell Katastrophy!).
As usual our inspirations and creative outputs point in a thousand directions, but songwriting is more focused than ever - and we're actually pretty sure the album is gonna end up quite coherent.
Conclusion: if music be the food of love - all is love.

Concerts, remixes and tour-pics
A lot of things have happened in Marybell Katastrophy-land lately.
Germany
The band had a great tour in Germany last week where they visited Hamburg & Berlin along with The Malpactice. Johannes, leadsinger and wordsmith in The Malpractice, sent home a tour diary for the danish music magazine Gaffa. In between the food and computer game tips, rants about traffic in big cities and noise restrictions you also get to hear about the concerts: links to part 1, 2 & 3 (in danish).
You can find pictures from the concert in Berlin by clicking the image.

Tectonics Repercussions
The Malpractice & Marybell Katastrophy are like two youngsters tongue-kissing, it's impossible to tell or tear them appart. Marie Højlund and Q. are playing with 'Malleren' and Johannes sometimes joins Marybell onstage as well. And do you remember the post about the Marybell remix of The Malpractice song "Human Condition"? Now it has been released digitally along with remixes from among others Jenny Wilson, Bredvig and... wow can this get more intertwined? - the other half of Marybell Katastrophy, Jakob Schweppenhäuser and Emil Thomsen, also known as the experimental electronical duo Schweppenhäuser/Thomsen (shortened SCHWTH).
Listen to all the remixes here.
Free concert in Aalborg
Aalborg is having a festival in July and has invited Marybell to join the fun. It happens outdoors at Gammel Torv, June 10th at 8 PM sharp! The best part is that it's a free concert. So pack the picnic basket and enjoy a summernight out. Join and share the Facebook event right here.
Concerts in the fall
For all those of you who can't make to Aalborg in July here is some good news. 10 danish shows in November just in time to show of the new material, it's gonna be so great. Read more and check if your town is on the to-do list right here.
That's all I can think of for now - have a lovely weekend

Germany Tour Countdown
Only 4 days to go before the Marybell Katastrophy & The Malpractice Germany tour.
The car has been loaded with music equipment, sunglasses, a longing for wiener schnitzels and petanque for those autobahn-breaks. The guys and girl are really looking forward to visiting Hamburg and Berlin and hope to see you all there.
