We are currently celebrating the upcoming release of 'AMYGDALA' on German radio show, Urbanissimo, by playing a couple of songs live on the air. Marie actually revisited our good old AC/DC cover of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap! and we played an almost perfect version of our upcoming single Somewhere Behind My Lips.

AMYGDALA will hit German cyber stores and realvinyl stores on the 1. March.

Oh.. if you never saw that AC/DC thingy - press this string of words: IWANTTOSEEACDC

Yes. You are right. Marie gained weight. A lot actually...  SHE' PREGNANT!!

HOORAY FOR MARYBABY #2

Tomorrow we will be playing a show at The Nordklang Festival in St. Gallen, Schwitzerland with tons of cool Scandinavian acts.

If you're in the area, make haste a spend thy dollars on a ticket! We will totally make it worth your while.

He is kind of the only guy around, as the house here is invaded by not only me but also Alouise, Hanna Schneider, Søs Gunver Ryberg and Rosa Lux.

Apart from that we (the guys in the band and me) are looking forward release Amygdala in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on the 22. of february. We work together with the Berlin based music agency Snowhite and plan a little release party in Berlin on the 22. (place and time tba). The day after we will play at the Nordklang Festival in Switzerland. The fantastic German magazine Kaltblut made this great interview with us leading up to the release, so go check it out here.

So for now I will end with this little live video from our wonderful evening at Radar a couple of weeks ago playing Somewhere Behind My Lips:

So we had a crazy challenge - The Libertines chose us to do a cover version of their song The Boy Looked At Johnny from Up The Bracket, as a part of a new tribute CD released by NME as a 10 years anniversary celebration of their legendary album. Only issue was that we only had 24 hours to do it. We just made it before deadline and as sometimes happens with crazy challenges we are really pleased with the result - even though some Libertines fans might be a bit pissed off by the way we took. The magazine came out just the other day and you can hear a snippet from the song and the other covers right here. Gaffa also wrote a little about it here.

What do you think?

This is a combination of "More" from Nils Fram's latest album Felt and "Wake Up" from our new album Amygdala

"Every Eye A Sun" is also from our new album Amygdala.

Gaffa thought it was great - 5 out of 6 stars followed by these kind words (in danish)

"Marybell Katastrophy er eminente på plade, og her i livesituationen med Nils Frahm som medspiller tilføjes der adskillige dimensioner til bandets særegne univers, der her synes at vokse og strække sig ud over stolerækkerne i rummet."

See the interview Marie and Nils did with Gaffa right here (in english)

We would love to see you there. So stop by Musiksmag (Jægersborggade 43, Nørrebro) between 2PM - 6PM and join us for a sip Lambrusco in the sun, play some games, catch up with us and listen to Amygdala. For more details check the Facebook event.

We will be selling the vinyl for only 100KR.
And Marie will probably loop perform a song or two. Which one would you like to hear?

"Elles Lys" perhaps?

Our friends in Fossils even gave us a speciel gift - can you quess which song this is a cover version of?

That's right, it's dear old "The Difference" receiving an even heavier dosis of bas and drums than usual. The cover version is most appropriately named "Fossilence".

Listen to the original right here:

Below you find a couple of pics from the evening. We are so looking forward to playing in Tivoli later this month.

It has taken almost three years to piece together all the melodies, experiences, words and thoughts that are Amygdala. We are really glad that today we get to share it with you. To the right is a preview of the vinyl. They are all individuel 'eyes', with different colors and shapes, blinking back at you.

You can listen to it in the sidebar or visit the bandcamp page to share, download or buy it.

Even though Amygdala isn't out until April 4th we already found the first review and it's looking splendid. 5 stars out of 6 and so many kind and enthusiastic words that we are all blushing. You can read it here (in danish):

Who knows what is going to happen when we bring together Frahms delicate, intimate music and our festive, noisy pop?
