>The pirat radioshow
>Here is the radio show - very danish and cosy - in the middle you can here our new single Difference in it´s full length (not yet released)
>Teaser
>Here is a little snippet from our newest song Difference that I told you about before - Morten Søndergaard made the lyrics and Q is playing the drums on the track. The pictures are from our last gig at Aarhus University - where Q didn´t play the drums, but took a lot of pictures as you see:

We have great plans with this song, as we invited some danish artists we know to make other versions of the song - a hole coleection of Different Differences!
We will of course get back to this later when the music is ready from Bronson Brothers, Jens Mønsted, Cabin Fever, Darling Don´t Dance, Beta Satan and hopefully more....
>Gang Riot vs. Highschool Rebels
>This weekend we experienced some of the contrasts of this little, yet versatile country. First up the beautiful city of Sønderborg, way south, with a little yet dedicated crowd of highschool rebels, who defied the harsh reality of the upcoming examination in school the next day, and danced the night away - remembering that the body is connected to the brain, and the brain is working better the more you dance! Saturday we played a show way east on the island of shit (sorry, but someone told me this nickname, and judging from the crowd next door at the technoparty one might agree...) at Beta, just next door to Amager Bio. We had a great concert with a wonderful crowd, but afterwards we faced reality when we went out the door, facing marching youngsters on drugs shouting hippies at us, while the police tried to remain passive aggresive - oh boy - sometimes it's hard to tell where the real province is?
>last two shows for a while coming up…
>
We hope to see you for our last two shows for a while. This spring we will focus on making more new songs. Tomorrow we go to Sønderborghus as south as possible in Denmark and saturday we play as east as you can get (almost) at Beta Amager. We look forward to play with the full setup (A REAL DRUMMER INCLUDED) and also play some of the new songs - including Difference - the song we just finished.
>Sorry Germany, thank you explosions!
>One sad fact we have to face: Our german shows are postponed once again, till after summer. There is many reasons for this, that I don´t want to bore you with. But I have to say I really miss good old germany! It´s frustrating when logistics obstruct music.
But the other day helped a little bit on the frustrations: Emil and I played two songs for the opening of an art exhibition in Viborg . The exhibition is centered around a project we are a part of called Love Alley arranged by Marianne Jørgensen; a wonderful artist who once wrapped a tank in pink knitting. It´s a bit hard to explain the concept of Love Alley, but our part is a vulcano with sound. In the movieclip you can see some explosions she made in the beginning of the project outside her house... what a setting -
THANK YOU EXPLOSIONS!
>THE ITALIAN WAY
>We love the Italian way, and in these pictures you can see why:
Nice surroundings, here made by the wonderful artist Blu on the walls of the first venue in Scandicci.
admirable audience culture build by free entrance, cheap drinks and good atmosphere (of cause at the expense of fancy interior decoration and good sound gear...), making it possible to gather around 100 people for every concert. Ohhh how we could learn a little by that in Denmark.
Surprising hairstyles and a good self confidence
Room and heartwarmth for aggressive danish people occupying their rooms, beds and minds
The most beautiful nature to eat your lunch in...and get tipsy on
Good priorities in life
And all that wonderful art,
weird animals, and last but not least
pizza...and wine
We thank you and hope to return this year!
But of cause it was also good to be home again...
>Snow Show Tonight
>Tonight we play a late snow show at Studenterhus Aarhus, in our hometown - The last show this year, together with the curious oneman show of Prins Nitram and a new, to me, unknown band called Photic. Our drummer Q is down with Influeza A, the poor kauka, so we will play our Italian Electro set....
>SHOUT FROM ITALY
>how can I compliment Italy enough to expose how much we love it here! I have no words. Right now we are in Bologna enjoying a day off. But boy we enjoyed the shows as well, so many nice and openminded people showing up at a concert with a wired danish band they didn´t know much about - so for the first time in the history of this blog I want to give myself and my fellow danes a good old scolding: We need to go out some more to gigs were we don´t know the band and don´t have a predefined reserved meaning towards!
This little video is from a very wired empty hostel in Scandicci we visited very late on the first evening here:

>Where they shoot the cows
>Our rehearsal room is located at the habour in Aarhus, right next to a slaughter house, inside some old freeze boxes that use to store meat....It smells very bad of death, and you can actually hear the cows scream when they face their destiny - I know I doesn´t sound very cosy, but we share the room with our friend Nicolai who renovated it and changed it into the most wonderful freeze box in the world! It´s a bit like Bennys Badekar, an old danish children show (or Alice in Wonderland), where you disappear into a whole other world, where the grey and sad everyday outside is forgotten for a while - and of cause it is soundproof so we can´t hear the cows scream too much....
